I created a new AI agent for marketing ideas. It monitors all my dev work in half hour increments, summarizes and categorizes it. Then creates blog posts and social media posts based on what I was doing. Awesome for getting ideas for Marketing Week! #AI #devrel #marketingweek

@ozsats256 @NatedawgO7 The original post reads like a buyer's agent trying get people to buy in Clyde North

@NatedawgO7 Clyde North 😂 One of the most over supplied suburbs in Victoria, better sell now to realise that 100% gain.

Hi I’d like to know where the housing crisis is likely to get worse so I can buy existing housing stock and hopefully increase the rent as fast as possible. Cheers! 🥰

@Dhimahi11 It's worse in tech. People use "orthogonally" and "directionally correct" in normal conversations

The one thing which I have been observing lately is that Once you join the corporate world, 90% of your life indirectly starts revolving around it. I have seen friends who used to talk in a friendly manner; now they start using terminologies like, 'Oh, thanks for understanding.' Correct me if I am wrong. 'In daily life. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, but people are losing their natural aura and own way of communicating.

@TMFScottP @grok We're cooked...He is consistently recognized for outperforming consensus estimates: ​**2024: Named the Australian Financial Review (AFR)'s most accurate forecaster of the Australian economy and the RBA

@TMFScottP @grok what is this economists track record for predictions? Do a summary of big calls in the last 5 - 10 years

If HSBC Chief Economist Paul Bloxham is right, we may well be headed for stagflation - high inflation and a recession. Fingers crossed - I don't do predictions, but he's right that it's a potential outcome with decent odds of happening.

@biglibertyguy @ZacGross Inflation though. 30 dollars will barely get you a burger and a drink in most places now. Hard to leave the house and not spend 50 bucks these days 😭

@ZacGross When I was a kid money was so tight that, yes, an extra $30 would have forced us to cancel our single holiday for the year.

Let's say your going on holiday to Bonnie Doon for the break. 300km return trip now costs $18-30 more in total. Are people cancelling over $30 when accommodation is several 100 per night?

@siddharthkp Saw the same thing. i call this you need to own from "prompt to production" now days. The easy part is the prompting, it's not helpful really.

i'm seeing a new problematic behavior emerge in medium-big companies because of ai somebody notices a performance issue or missing case in a feature they don’t own or maintain instead of creating a ticket, they try to be nice and prompt their way to a PR very nice but…

@BenPicton1 I'm travelling around Australia the last 4-5 months and don't see any difference in traffic in the last few days. Absolutely nothing like COVID times, that's for sure

Hearing lots of anecdotes about Australians choosing to remain at home to conserve fuel (even if they have fuel). Easter holiday plans cancelled. Using public transport if they have to leave the house. Aussies might be in the early stages of voluntary lockdown.

This is going to result in a complete USA ascendency like post WW2 as they use and export energy from their unaffected infrastructure for the next 10 years. This is why neither side of the US government is trying stop this new war. It's a huge win for them now.

@arvidkahl "I'm absolutely right, let me comment out this test"

My full PHP test suite took 20+ minutes. Unbearable. Yesterday, I asked Claude Code to speed up my test suite. I knew that parallel testing would be a massive time saver, but I had set it up so that things immediately broke when I tried to run ParaTest with PHPUnit. So I told Claude Code to "work on making the test suite parallel until it works." It took Claude around 3 hours of setting up new config, testing it, seeing everything break, adjusting my MySQL connection limit, rewriting mocks, database scaffolding, rewriting certain fixtures, and some more. It broke hundreds of times in hundreds of ways, but after a few hours of me working on other things, I am now running my 20min test suite in 3 minutes. (This matters a lot for agentic engineering, as Claude can now run the full suite for every new feature it builds.) Manually, with little testing experience and not knowing what best practices or tripwires to even look for, this would have taken me weeks. Now, this kind of work takes a measly "do this until it works" prompt. This is the kind of stuff that agentic coding is particularly good at.

@danshipper @allgarbled People enjoy getting paid. No one enjoys this role and will leave as soon as possible

@allgarbled Some people really enjoy this kind of thing

new model for engineering team structure in 2026: 2 people only one pirate and one architect the pirate's job is to move as fast as possible to develop valuable, shipped product features by vibe coding. the architect's job is to turn the product surface discovered by the pirate into a reliable, structured machine—also by vibe coding, but at a slower, more well-reasoned pace. every product needs a pirate but most product's only need an architect once they some form of PMF, and in that case they usually don't need one full-time. architects can work across many codebases and solve interesting technical challenges. pirates go hard on a product that they own end-to-end.

Will be interesting what comes from attacking this problem. Can't imagine being the head of eng for some pharma line turning this on for the first time 😬 amilabs.xyz

@GeoGeo81730853 @RealPostFolder Very rare these days. Hold on to it

@RealPostFolder TIL: I work in a blue collar Software Development Team.

@DanielLockyer 100% true. we use font awesome icons everywhere. Included as css only (not in package.json). Fontawesome specified in AGENTS.md. We also have lucide-react in package.json because another package is crap and doesnt peer dep it. Guess which icon set the llms use every. single. time

I'm pretty sure that most repos with overly instructive AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/rules files would benefit from deleting most of it, and making the tooling setup more "obvious" to both humans + AI

@EagleOnEagleSt You should see the crowds at the wineries in Barossa valley. All the doom and gloom on here doesn't exist outside twitter. Yet anyway.

The Oz property bubble is likely going to pop now… - Interest rates rising - Bond yeilds rocketing - Unemployment rising - Ai taking jobs - Fuel running low - Stagflation It all comes down to confidence, and when confidence collapses, don’t look down! 2026-2028/29.

@NatedawgO7 Isn't it that case that at 4% unemployment there are literally no available workers to do any jobs

Migrants are filling the skill shortages Australia desperately needs! Oh no wait we’re just importing people to work at petrol stations. You cannot tell me when we have 3.5 million temporary migrants in Australia we have a big shortage of people that can click a button to turn the fuel pump on and restock chips at a 7/11. All these people take up rentals in a housing crisis

@CryptoUsopp less money the better when younger. forces you to meet more people

by the age of 30, i had visited almost 40 countries-and most of it happened when i had less than $5000 in my bank account I also lived in france, turkey, serbia, cambodia - moving to each of them when i only had four figs too. in 2018 i spent under $2000 going from germany > italy > slovenia > croatia > bosnia > serbia > kosovo > bulgaria > north macedonia > albania in 2014 i spent around $500 doing a month in thailand > cambodia > vietnam I also did trips under $1000 to czech > slovakia > austria, hungary and then also belgium > netherlands in recent years travel doesn’t have to be expensive or perfectly planned - it just has to start. the world is more affordable and welcoming than most people think. just go living or traveling abroad alone helps to build deep self-reliance, confidence, and adaptability by forcing you out of your comfort zone to manage all logistics and make every decision yourself. It teaches you to trust your intuition, manage anxiety, and embrace independence. it also fosters social skills, enhances personal growth, and teaches you to cherish freedom. priceless life experience.

Notable that crypto/decentralized providence is just a footnote for more research in this report. Absolutely dead tech 🪦 microsoft.com/en-us/research…

@robwalling Or the code is 5x 2000 line python files with no tests

“We need to rewrite the entire codebase.” Dev agency translation: “We don’t want to read someone else’s code.”

Woah a forecasted potential fall in property values in Sydney. Government will have to intervene!
