I realized something about the best people I've ever worked with. They're the ones who are basically incapable of seeing something broken and leaving it alone. It's not a prioritization exercise for them. It's a reflex. It physically bothers them. They must fix it.

your db query is slow? just add this! boom, now you are ai-native instead of lazy!

My prediction, all will suffer at once the code base is big enough to become unwieldy. An analogue would be when startups used to hire infra people to clean up their messes at scale. A new paradigm will emerge where these companies if they take off need a LOT of cleanup. People who actually know how computers work will have jobs for life.

im fully convinced agent skills are just astrology for vibe coders

Regarding recent press coverage

AI writes your code in 30 seconds. You spend 3 hours debugging what it wrote. You could have written it yourself in 45 minutes. But that would require thinking and we don't do that anymore apparently.

I vibe code every day. I have a team of 30+ engineers. We spend F tons of credits. And I will tell you this about AI from my experience. It’s being wildly over hyped. Everyone is drunk. Fucking drunk. All the CEOs and Gen Z’s saying coding is dead are idiots. IDIOTS.

AI is quietly deprecating GitHub. Agents do not need branches, PRs, or CI/CD rituals. They want to ship code straight to the cloud. The rsync renaissance is here. High availability. Zero bloat. Faster loops.

There will be more of this. And as much as we're joking about it, we're seeing a massive degradation of code quality right now and we're increasingly only catching it way too late.
