I dumped Superwhisper for Whisper flow and I'm so much happier. I've never hit cancel on one tools and buy on another so fast after trying. Referral link, if you are interested. wisprflow.ai/r?SCOTT2931

Great article on the hidden cost of high-velocity engineering in the AI era. We talk about how AI tools make individual tasks faster, but there's constant context-switching and decision fatigue. siddhantkhare.com/writing/ai-fat…

Dutch people being angry when their world famous top athlete is flying private Says a lot about the degrowth mentality that infected the majority of the country (and Western Europe) Reward excellence! Or there'll be no incentive to be excellent anymore and nobody will try to be in the first place Which is exactly how you end up with a dying culture

The Dutch Republic had the world's highest GDP per capita for 150 years Built Europe's economic engine through systems and competence Now Dutchmen rage when Jutta Leerdam, Olympic gold medalist, flies private Success built the Netherlands Resentment defines it today When did socialists convince us that excellence deserves punishment?

Over the last year I’ve gone through the 5 stages of grief. 1. Denial - “AI writes slop.” 2. Anger - “AI is trained on stolen data. I worked 20 years for these skills.” 3. Bargaining - “If I ignore it, maybe it will pass.” 4. Depression - “I don’t feel like working.” 5. Acceptance - “AI makes me quicker, more creative, and more capable. It automates the drudgery so I can focus on key decisions instead of syntax.” Relieved to be at step 5.

I don't know why this week became the tipping point, but nearly every software engineer I've talked to is experiencing some degree of mental health crisis.

Sounds incredible until you read the fine print. The compiler generates less efficient code than GCC with all optimizations disabled. It doesn’t have its own assembler or linker. It can’t produce a 16-bit x86 code generator. And Carlini himself says it has “nearly reached the limits of Opus’s abilities.” New features and bugfixes kept breaking existing functionality. So what did $20,000 and two weeks actually buy? A compiler that passes 99% of GCC’s torture tests but can’t match the output quality of a tool that’s had 37 years of human engineering. That’s the constraint nobody’s pricing in. The real story is in the cost curve, not the capability demo. $20,000 for 100,000 lines means $0.20 per line of generated code. A senior compiler engineer costs roughly $150/hour. At maybe 50 polished lines per hour for something this complex, that’s $3/line. AI just did it at 15x cheaper, and it will only get cheaper from here. But the code isn’t equivalent. The AI version needs a human to finish the assembler, fix the linker, optimize the output, and prevent regressions. Those are the hardest 20% of the problem, and they represent 80% of the engineering value. Anthropic built the demo. Shipping the product still requires humans. This tells you exactly where we are in the autonomous software timeline. AI can now produce impressive first drafts of complex systems at trivial cost. Turning those drafts into production software still requires the judgment that costs $300K+ per year in compiler engineer salary. The gap between “compiles the Linux kernel” and “replaces GCC” is measured in decades of accumulated engineering wisdom that no model has internalized yet. The companies that understand this will use agent teams to generate the 80% and hire engineers to finish the 20%. The companies that don’t will ship $20,000 compilers that produce slower code than a free tool from 1987.

New Engineering blog: We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C compiler. Then we (mostly) walked away. Two weeks later, it worked on the Linux kernel. Here's what it taught us about the future of autonomous software development. Read more: anthropic.com/engineering/bu…

@thekitze @levelsio By the way. SSRI’s saved my life, my family and my relationship with my wife. Some things can not be solved with just eating healthy. They help, but do not solve the chemical inbalance.

i've supported and defended @levelsio publicly *countless* times when ppl blocked him, dunked on his takes, ego etc. after texting and interacting a bunch on twitter i invited him for coffee in 2017 when we both lived in nl and he replied "that would be a waste of time, it's low ROI" don't confuse this for a stan-type relationship, we actually interacted a lot before this, he even subscribed to me and texted "dude i'm your biggest fan" etc. which is confusing af to me i asked him to have a conversation on a podcast countless times over the years and he kept inventing different conditions a week ago he RT-ed some random dude and i dmd him to ask "man how come you supports anyone about anything but never gave one of my apps a chance" .. (by chance i meant to even try them, because i know how some of them can help him out to be more productive) he replied "brother this is begger energy", which kinda hurt. when ppl ask me for a RT boost even now (especially someone i interact with constantly) i try to at least be helpful and not insulting the guy's fame and x revenue hit him so hard in the head really forgot how to interact with human beings and forgot that some words actually hurt, especially coming from someone you've been looking up to someone and saw them as an inspiration for over 10 years i had a draft to invite him to tinkerers because everyone wants him there, but i knew what he's gonna reply with, and i'm glad i didn't send it the last straw for me is when literally everyone on the timeline has been congratulating @tinkererclub success publicly and privately. i mean literally all the big names. heck i even made amends with ppl i haven't interacted with in years, and i'm happy i did so. the supports mean A LOT especially cuz i'm navigating an uncharted territory of growth i haven't seen before. guess who i wanted to ask for advice? another unsent draft. the only thing pieter had to say was to dunk on me twice about my tweet about antidepressants (which was VERY hard to write and confess publicly) the person who was trying to sell an ai therapist to people is now making fun of mental health and depression imagine being this rich and famous but still to have this amount of bitterness and saltiness in you, it's actually sad tbh this is a skill issue because i continue to confuse acquaintances for friends. i don't have friends, and that's fine. if i ever lose my head to reach this level of being cruel to ppl i want you to call me out if anything this makes me wanna be more helpful and nicer to people i hate to admit it, but some of you mfs were right about him, i just couldn't see clearly. hardest block i've pressed in my life. but i've burned bridges and cut off *way* closer people this year over toxicity. i'm starting fresh. sayonara brother, i wish you all the best ✌️

@thekitze @levelsio He has no empathy. It always felt off for me whenever he is posting something. It is only about money and being successful. But that is not what being human is like. I love that you are being real. Keep doing that.

Dear @AnthropicAI - Your website doesn't work if you have @Ubiquiti's ad blockers on. Maybe you should fix that before dropping 10 more features?

@ryolu_ @bentossell Even though I am not (allowed) using cursor. I am so inspired by this video. I grew up in the same age and was inspired by the same things back in the day. ❤️

Cursor changed everything for designers. I went from sketching UI to shipping a full agent OS. The gap between ideas and reality is closer than ever to zero. Here’s the story:
