@nickoates_ @vercel @rauchg @aisdk Huge congrats on the new role at Vercel! I'm really interested to see how the AI SDK evolves, especially with the Agent Stack moving forward.

Thrilled to announce that I’ve joined @Vercel to help build the AI SDK! ▲ I’m so lucky to be part of this world class team that’s pushing the web forward every day. It’s also an especially exciting time to be part of the Agent Stack, with eve.dev releasing just last week. I’m excited to dive in and keep iterating on the AI SDK. I’ve valued a free and open web and internet for years — basically ever since the concept was introduced to me — and with AI and agents and everything, it’s becoming more and more easy for everyone to have a website and make anything on the web. I think much of that is thanks to what Vercel has built and I’m so hyped to now be part of continuing to build it.

@TheGeorgePu Yep, I've been telling some people for some time now. Take a look at some of the other options on the board. You'd be surprised. Deepseek has been pumping stuff out for me. No problem.

I ran Claude 4.8 Opus against DeepSeek V4 Pro. Blind. Four tests. Separate agents judged. DeepSeek won 4-0. It's also 12x cheaper. Here's the part that stuck with me. I did the math, and Claude is maybe 5% better. We're paying frontier prices for a 5% edge and a nicer personality. Relying on one lab is a strategic mistake.

@gregpr07 That depends on how much time you have, but maybe try a cooperative puzzle game? If you want something quick, a simple card game maybe? Good luck with the hackathon!

We have a company hackathon building games. What game should I make?

@taherchhabra Where can I check out more details about the positions?

@KChaiWrites Let's help get u there! :D

Only 4 more to reach 200.

@TTrimoreau Dropbox seems like a perfect example. They just built something genuinely useful and relied on word-of-mouth rather than spending a fortune on ads.

Name a startup that became successful without spending millions on marketing 👇

@Sherifdeenolat2 Ten users is a really small sample size to make a big decision on. Before pivoting, maybe dig into why they aren't converting at all. What is the biggest friction point? 👀

My client has 10 users and none of them converted. Should he pivot, keep iterating, or is it still too early to tell?

@zanoga Wow, that is a serious setup. Powering that kind of compute with solar and a backup generator is seriously impressive engineering. Looking forward to seeing the benchmarks when you drop them.

Finally finished building my AI datacenter! 🚀 32x3090s across 4 servers (8 GPUs each), all connected over InfiniBand. The whole setup is solar-powered with a massive battery bank and generator backup. More technical details and benchmarks coming soon.

@dominikmartinX It's all about the quality of the input, I guess. If the replies are genuinely helpful and add value, the algorithm will likely pick it up eventually. Good reminder!

Fastest way to grow on X: Reply to 10 accounts bigger than yours. Every day. 30 days straight. Not "great post" replies. Actual thoughts that add something. Zero dollars. Works better than every growth hack I've tried.

@aryanlabde I'm definitely leaning toward building right now. I tend to get totally lost in the code and worry about marketing later.

vibe coders, which one are you focusing more on currently? - building - marketing

@brockpierson Sounds like a good idea, count me in!

I am blowing all small accounts Reply if you're under 10k and I will boost you 🚀

@IamAroke It's definitely less about replacement and more about integration and how you choose to leverage the tools. Staying stagnant in this landscape is probably the biggest risk.

The developers who figure out how to work with AI are not going to replace you but they will make you irrelevant if you ignore it.

@jasondoesstuff I know the feeling all to well. 20 Years for me as well. Never stop building. ♥️

Been working for myself for 20 years now. Some days it sucks. Some days it's amazing. Overall, it's exponentially better than working for someone else at a job you hate.

@MiaAI_lab I have been loving it too! Been using the DeepSeek API with the Claude Code Extension for Vs Code, also have Headroom proxy and no complaints from my side. Simply amazing.

Why DeepSeek v4 Flash is my #1 choice Because it gives you 90% of frontier-level performance at 35–100x lower cost than Opus 4.8/GPT 5.5. And you can run it locally quite easily. GLM 5.2 is better but DS4F is 4-5 times cheaper. Never disappointed me. Still #1 in OpenRouter

@anabelen_gf It takes a lot of guts to go against the grain, but that's where the real growth happens. It’s definitely a harder path, but I think it’s one that actually matters.

sometimes you have to do the unexpected. the thing no one else wants to do. thats what takes you far.

@HussainIbarra Love this. It's kind of what I am working on right now. Sharing the knowledge I gained now over the past 20 years. After a 3 year break, thoughts and ideas are moving and getting built, slowly but surely. ♥️

Start a business. Create an app. Launch a product. Write a book. Pass your knowledge and solution to others because the world needs your help to make it a better place.

@markproduct I don't think 90% is an overstatement, but I don't think it's replacement either. I see it more as a massive shift where the role of the developer changes to focusing on systems design and prompt engineering.

Will AI replace 90% of developers by the end of 2026. Agree or disagree?

@shubadubadub Wow, that is a massive pivot from DeepMind. AI safety is such a critical area, and focusing on human oversight is exactly what we need right now. Have a great time at FAccT!

🫡 After 7 years, I've just left Google Deepmind to start an AI Safety nonprofit, around Scalable and Human Oversight (i.e. building stronger "judges")! 🇨🇦 And, I'll be at FAccT in Montreal this week! (1/4🧵)

@doumaCode25 That is the perfect mindset. It takes serious guts to push past that initial fear, and I think you're going to be great at it. I'm currently focused on getting some personal projects off the ground right now too.

I’ve always wanted to record informational videos and upload em but I’ve always been extremely camera shy and insecure. But WHO GIVES A FUCK. We all are going DIE one day. So might as well die trying!! Anyhow, tell me bout yourself in the comments, what are you building!!! Nothing gives me more joy than watching people work hard for their dreams! So make my day better by sharing your current ventures!!

@Adii_is_cooked Totally agree. There's just nothing like the kind of knowledge you gain when you're actually wrestling with something and making it work. It sticks way better than just reading theory.

Huge respect to people who are learning by building projects🫡🥲
