What would a project, framework or language need to provide to maximize effectiveness for AI? I’m thinking: a large corpus of working examples, the ability to establish fast feedback loops via strong types, good testing culture, good linters/formatters, well written user docs and plentiful examples. My gut says something like tigerstyle.dev would probably help too. IME the more guardrails I establish the more effective the LLMs are because there are fewer degrees of freedom for them to get lost in. The faster they can identify when they’ve left the golden path e better the results.

@rw_eevee @Miles_Brundage I don’t get why people aren’t freaking out about it. I say to people “it’s 6 to 12 months ahead of SOTA” and I can just tell people are thinking “yeah right”. But the thing is I’m not exaggerating! If we get AGI it will be GPT Pro that will show the first signs.

I'm a bit worried Anthropic has an org-wide case of AI psychosis that makes them think Claude is good enough that they can ship random product features without breaking things, but in fact they *do* keep breaking things, and they're not online enough to notice people complaining

TIL in the Codex app you can queue up prompts and then drag/drop them to reorder them. So if you come up with a set of tasks you want the agent to perform, and you remember something later, you can just queue it up, then drag it into the right location.

@Ib_ra_himm I misread this as adding one extra proton to every atom in the universe. Not sure which would be worse.

I feel like it is possible, even if models and hardware stopped improving and the tech level was frozen. There are so many tasks we know we should be doing, but don't because of time (or we're lazy) that AI should be helping us with. For example we could have cross-repo scans on every commit to make sure all docs are up-to-date with the current high level docs, for example. The moment a commit lands that contradicts something, it asks us if it's intentional or not, and whether the code/docs should be updated. We don't do this now because it's too time consuming and tedious, but an LLM will tirelessly scan for these inconsistencies. It's not as good as a motivated human, but it's way cheaper and better than doing nothing.

Imagine we all used AI to raise the bar of our work. Many are using it as an excuse to lower the bar instead. Let's see more of the former.

new rule: instead of attaching agent session logs to your prs nobody will ever read, have the submitter attach a video of them explaining every single line of code and why it must exist.

the worst. literally the worst. no exceptions. the worst codebase to work with coding agents is the one generated by the agents itself. usually, the best codebase to work with agents is the one that predates coding agents.

I watched this interview, and what struck me the most was that @pmarca said he has zero interest in introspection in his life. I feel the same but have always felt bad about it. I don't have the patience or interest in any sort of introspection on the past. I don't want to talk to a therapist. I don't want to write in a journal. It was interesting to see that Marc feels the same way. Made me feel less bad about it. Great interview @davidsenra.
David Senra@davidsenra

In our conversation Marc Andreessen makes the case that the beating heart of our civilization’s progress is the founder: “You’re much more likely to build something important in the 21st century if you start with a founder and train them in management than if you start with a manager and try to train them to be a founder.”

I turned 50 this year. I haven’t peaked yet. Skills have been compounding for my whole career, but it took lots of effort and curiosity. TBH I have no idea when things slow down. The men in my family tend to remain active mentally and physically into their 70s and 80s, so I’m hopeful.

So what’s the peak age for a software developer? And what age is the finish line?
Jeremy@Jeremybtc

Nobody tells you this when you pick a career. Every profession has a different finish line. Athlete - peak is 24. Retired before 30. The sport moves on before the body does. Model - peak is 22. Career lasts 3-5 years. The industry finds your replacement before you find yourself. Soldier - prime at 26. The body starts losing the argument at 35. Twenty years in and the pension follows you out. Airline Pilot - spends 20 years in a co-pilot seat. Reaches captain in their 40s. Mandatory retirement at 65. Surgeon - peak performance is 35-50. It takes a decade of training just to get in the room. Hands and eyes start losing the margin for error after 65. Lawyer - peaks at 50. The courtroom rewards experience. Every year you practice, the credential compounds. Plumber / Electrician - peaks at 50. Recessions, AI, outsourcing, none of it can reach them. Landlord - no peak. Tenants pay the mortgage while you sleep. Investor - Buffett made 95% of his wealth after turning 65. Most people think it's too late by then. Most people pick a career without knowing where it actually leads. Know the game before you decide to play it.

Cooking up Vancouver's first Claude for Everyone event April 1st. Details coming soon. 👀 Who's in?
Saurabh Suri@surim0n

Announcing: Claude for Everyone: Toronto We're hosting an official Claude Code for Everyone Community Meetup. Not just for developers this time. Anthropic has been shipping fast. Claude has changed how we work. Claude Cowork, Skills, and Connectors are bringing that same power to PMs, founders, ops people - anyone who works on a computer. Most people haven't seen any of this in action yet. That's what this event is for. Real demos. Hands on with the full Claude ecosystem. Space is very limited. Are you a Cowork power user and want to demo? DM me Brought to you by @buildfutureto cc: @robjama

@kerckhove_ts I can’t believe they would say that, even if they secretly believed it. I don’t know if I would want to work with someone who would essentially threaten me to take a job.

I had this experience just this week. I heard "You're not going to get a better offer in this job market." and I still didn't take it because not working was better than taking the offer.
Jesse Tinsley@JesseTinsley

One of the biggest misconceptions in tech is that great engineers can always be bought. They cannot. Back in 2018 I introduced my now cofounder and CTO Ben to a founder who had already built multiple unicorns. They needed a VP of Engineering to run the entire product, design, and engineering org. The conversations went great. Then the founder made a massive 7 figure annual offer. Real cash. Real liquid equity. Ben passed… Why? “I am just not excited about the sector.” So the founder came back with an even crazier offer. 8 figures annually. Basically: name your price. Ben still said no. That story stuck with me because it taught a lesson a lot of founders learn the hard way: The best engineers are often not for sale. If they do not believe in the product, mission, or problem no compensation package can force conviction.

@AlexHormozi I agree with this, but only if you are receiving the benefit of the extra value. Doesn’t have to be immediately realized, but you must have a plan for how to leverage the value, otherwise you are devaluing yourself.

To any employees who have a new manager that forces them to do more work. Instead of disliking them, just remember that the more work you do, the more valuable you are. So whether you like it or not, they are helping, not hurting you.

I wouldn’t say dead, but probably dying. The bottleneck is now: your ability to design a system that produces outcomes like accessible source, that reflect your degree of domain expertise. Not just for AI but for other humans too. It probably always was, just that the timescales were so long this fact was obscured.

There is an existing term called “CEO Disease” that describes the common behaviour where a CEO lives in a bubble and stops receiving honest feedback. Combine that with LLM Psychosis and you have a recipe for disaster. It used to be reserved for CEOs but as we all move up the stack it affects more of us. We have to learn how to work harder to receive honest feedback from others and especially our LLMs. If you want your LLM to be more honest ask it to provide an “adversarial review” of your ideas and code. And then seek deeper understanding by interrogating it. It’s not perfect but it’s better than the default.

They have no incentive. Imagine if schools and professors were judged on the skill and knowledge of the students they produce once those students enter the workforce. Companies should be able to sue schools that graduate a student that doesn’t have the claimed skills. Same for the students who commits fraud by misrepresenting themselves.

I cannot stress enough how absolutely cooked CS, Soft Eng, Comp Eng and basically any tech/IT major is. Literally no one in my cohort bothers to write their own code anymore. People just hand in labs that are fully vibecoded and pass with grades above 90% and the profs do NOTHING

Good to know. I bought some new washers and dryers and I briefly considered them, but I couldn’t justify the jump in cost above a standard stackable. A 2500 all-in-one would have to be significantly better than a 1000 stackable set to make it worth it. I wasn’t space constrained either.

i'd be happy with a robot who could take the washing out of the washing machine and put it in the dryer at 2am because the washing machine has a 4 hour cycle and off peak starts at 10pm. i'd pay $350 for such a device. i don't need a humanoid robot.

@FICMBondTrader If the vet is in on it and it like “yeah! Let’s get some wings!” I see nothing wrong with this. If they have no idea what is happening then it’s cruel. But you’ve gotta grab them beer or drinks if they want, and also listen to their stories. I bet the stories are crazy.

There’s a restaurant that does free wings on your birthday One wing for each year You could share the wings among your group Apparently, some college kids got a check list of everyone’s birthday in a retirement home They would check them out of the home for free wings Kids were getting 92 wings for free. Bringing all their boys. All the old Vietnam vet would get out of the home.
