Of course the other possibility is that AI is spiking the individual's productivity to the moon, and they're right.

@aakashgupta I feel this idea of traditional CS grad not needed and agent maxxing or whatever is oversold. A half decent grad with strong fundamentals would be able to deploy/orchestrate and maintain agents effectively . Calling this as skill replacing traditional know how is not right.
English

The actual guide to agentmaxxing, since everyone’s going to misread this headline:
Replit hit $240 million in revenue in 2025 with roughly 70 employees. That’s $3.4 million in revenue per head. A typical SaaS company at that revenue would have 700 people. Replit ran 10x leaner.
Amjad Masad just raised $400 million at a $9 billion valuation and announced he’s hiring new grads. But the new grads he’s describing aren’t traditional CS majors grinding LeetCode. He hired an 18-year-old who never went to CS school, learned to code entirely through AI, and is outperforming classically trained engineers.
Agentmaxxing is a specific workflow. You take an AI coding agent (Replit, Claude Code, Cursor), describe what you want in plain English, let the agent build it, review the output, iterate. One person running 5-10 agents simultaneously replaces a team of 4-5 junior engineers who each need onboarding, management, and code review.
Masad said the quiet part out loud in an interview last year: if you’re an engineering manager at Meta, do you hire four junior engineers with all the overhead, or one senior engineer who can spin up 10 agents? Senior engineer salaries have never been higher. New grads who can’t orchestrate agents are struggling. New grads who can are getting hired at 18.
The practical stack looks like this:
1. You become the architect, not the bricklayer. Your job is system design, constraint definition, and quality review.
2. You manage agents like direct reports. Break work into discrete chunks, assign each to a session, review output, course-correct. The best operators run parallel sessions.
3. Clarity of thought matters more than syntax knowledge. Masad said the highest-leverage hires right now are clear thinkers and clear communicators. He called them “consultant types.”
4. You ship 10x the surface area. Replit’s Agent 1 lasted 2 minutes before losing coherence. Agent 4 runs 3 hours doing production work. That capability is 10xing every few months. By next year, agents handle full-day tasks.
The new grad who gets this builds more in month one than a traditional hire builds in a quarter. The hiring market for juniors didn’t collapse. It forked into two lanes: those who manage agents and those who compete against them.

@nic_carter @jasveer10 Djeezus what an idiotic take.
What happened to freedom of speech ?!
I don’t agree with everything any politician says or does here in the US. That’s ok. It’s just freedom of speech.

US visa denied under 214(b). Reason - weak ties to India 🇮🇳
Irony I run a company in India, employ people in India, pay taxes in India and have built everything here over the last 13 years. Apparently that is not enough proof that I’ll return to India.
I’m more committed to India than your process is to logic. Mr @USAmbIndia and team, if this is your bar, either your definition of intent is broken or your evaluation process needs serious review. Train your New Delhi consulate teams better.
PS: They check social media too now. A friend said next time just delete your tweets on the US and NRIs before the interview and your visa gets approved.

@bindureddy @snorripall AI has pushed abstraction to the full stack. Half of programming now feels like debugging the model’s reasoning trace. One-shotting without understanding the architecture on the other hand is asking for trouble at this point in time(which might still be ok in future ).
English

@snorripall The problem is when the programmer can’t debug the code AI is written
AI will get stuck and the human are becoming increasingly stuck as well - so this is a real issue - everything comes to a stand still🤷♀️

@trq212 @AlexTamkin How does this work? Do you use more tokens to parse the conversation history available locally to generate it? What is token consumption of feature itself if it is a background activity?

@joshwoodward @GeminiApp How about competitions like Olympiads, CML, etc?

🇮🇳 Good morning India! A lot of you asked for full-length mock JEE Main tests in @GeminiApp at no cost - done! Good luck on your prep!
Last week, SAT. This week, JEE.
What other global exams would be most helpful?

@propilot123 @Pia_POV @Tesla_AI Trained on human data. Humans go for the brake more often when in tricky situation than the acclerator. Mostly it tries to move over in my experience but as video says it was boxed

@growing_daniel Yes Vishnu considered as maintainer of the universe and assumed to exist within every human being. When he reincarnated in human forms Vishnu was subject to various trials of karmic circle like how Rama and Krishn. @dushyanthsridar is one of the best persons to explain this

@MarketOsprey @TrevorScottReal @wholemars @RobinhoodApp Loan against share doesnt cause credit check. It is just excercising your margin instead of selling those shares. However the original problem of getting the funds back to escrow due to robinhood's limit would have remained

@TrevorScottReal @wholemars @RobinhoodApp Great idea, get a loan a week before closing on a house.. 😂😂 His mortgage broker would have his head

A friend of mine needs to withdraw $400,000 from @RobinhoodApp to close on a house, but is running into Robinhood’s $50k a day / $200k a month transfer limits.
Escrow closes in one week. Any advice on what to do?

@aelluswamy Hit a snag today where FSD route planning directed me to a Supercharger that was temporarily closed near a mountain resort. I luckily had enough charge to drive ~20 miles to the next one. When a Supercharger’s live status changes, could FSD proactively alert the user ?

@chriswithans @Dirtdog And what do u do with remaining months supply of paper rolls :)
English

@iamfra5er @priyhhhhh Lets put it the other way from user's perspective. You aren't providing a no string attached trial for 30 days since you need a credit card to being with. So if this user wants he will re-subscribe and that 30 days is what is needed to prove your service stickiness to the user

@priyhhhhh the only users that do this are based in europe
he had not intention of continuing with the product after the first 30 days

@WanderLust1002 @drpal_manickam Repetition is a feature of social media. If you don't like it, you can guide the algorithm to suggest different contents why blame the creator? He has a view point which I subscribe to but it might not work for few others. No point in mudslinging.

@drpal_manickam All you do is fear mongering and repeated content . As someone who practice in US can you do the same guilt tripping content targeting audience from the US?

This is my answer to people offended by the video.
• Watch the video fully. I talk about moderate intake of ultra processed food. Movie theater food availability was an example.
• One chicken nugget will not harm you. The problem is you never stop with one.
• Be honest. You are not eating ultra processed food once a month.
• This is not about rare movie treats. This is a pattern in kids and adults. Look at the data on pediatric obesity.
• If you think reducing frequent ultra processed food is BS, I will keep promoting that BS. You can keep eating.
• If you dislike strong public health messaging and prefer complex science that no one understands, fine. May your GUT bless you.
I have emphasized on complete avoidance of ultra processed food as much as possible with the hope that at least people will avoid 50%
About my friend Saravana kumar @theliverdoc . He is very active here. He was a nice guy but poor thing - Now he writes without rationale. Maybe he needs
more fiber for gut brain axis to work again.
I never replied to negative comments until now. I say the same thing online that I tell my patients online. My public health messaging has been strong with significant changes in the general audience. My target is not the PhD’s - my target is general public.
But it is time to rethink. Medical professionals need alignment on social media to avoid mistrust.
Let us work toward the goal of educating people, not fighting each other. I am always willing to work with people and not against.

agree with most of what you said, except the last part about assuming founders in SF have built-in safety nets. I do not think that is true in general. While some founders may have strong networks or access to capital, many do not. I agree that founders in SF may have a higher risk tolerance but even that is more of an individual trait

Nikhil Kamath (and a lot of Indian podcasters/founders) love projecting this image that their audience is full of future founders and unicorn builders.
But let’s be honest: 80%+ of the people watching these podcasts are mid-senior level corporate professionals in Bangalore, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, and Pune who:
- Earn 20L - 1CR
- Secretly want to “start something” but won’t leave the job till the next band kicks in
They’re not building the next Zerodha. They’re just hopping between MNCs and startups for that extra hike so they can soon afford a 3BHK in North Bangalore without a 30-year EMI eating their sanity.
The entrepreneur cosplay is strong, but deep down we’re just highly educated, mildly burnt-out employees refreshing LinkedIn every 18 months.
And honestly, that’s fair. Most of us grew up middle class in a developing country where uncertainty wasn’t a playground - it was pressure. You can’t expect the same risk appetite as someone who grew up in SF with safety nets baked into their life story.

@DudeWhoFly @IndiGo6E Stop the fear mongering and let the guy do his job. He isn’t begging or stealing and obviously his advertisement budget for the startup is that flight he is probably taking home. When no one in flight had a problem, no name X accounts will

Once you land I’ll be outside.. like what? Is it a bus stand or an aerobridge?
@IndiGo6E is this a new revenue generation model?
