I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

@Abad_Juancho This is just creative engineering

Proof #256 that #gamedev is a lie: (the level transition we used in Go Mecha Ball is literally just a horn-shaped mesh spinning or scaling.)

@nearcyan This is dystopian as fuck.

@levelsio Farming positive engagement and reputation so they can then sell or flip the accounts to more monetizable purposes

Some new type of spam has dropped on X It keeps talking about friendship and signs each tweet with a real name No links in bio I wonder the objective here

@cyb3rops Yeah all my more novice friends are talking about this like it's some kind of revolutionary idea but it feels like it was only effective until it was, well, discovered Thanks for putting all your IoCs on a public ledger I guess lmao

I don’t get it. It’s sitting in plain sight. Known, covered by signatures. If your defense strategy relies on blocking IPs and domains, you’ve already lost. (*coughs* CDNs)

@5mukx It has to be by far the worst specialization for "imposter syndrome" there's just too much lmao

At some point, you will realize that cybersecurity is a wide rabbit hole and you actually started enjoying the progress. #realization

@Officialwhyte22 "invoice_preview.exe" "/api/c2/stealth" God I hate "cyber" X.

@icmpressure If they had been rude or apathetic your reaction might've been understandable but they weren't, so you just seem like a dick. Hope this helps.

@LolOverruled A huge win for people that have children and loved ones.

@Campbell2976 @AFpost Well you see, once upon a time there was an island called Little Saint James...

@AFpost What happened to Trump? He’s gone insane.

The DOJ’s June 2025 memo to denaturalize certain citizens lists “ending antisemitism” as one of its main reasons. The Trump administration is poised to denaturalize and deport American citizens who criticize Israel. Follow: @AFpost

@dlwiest Spacebar supremacists, trying to win the war against tabs that has been raging since time immemorial.

Who's the genius who decided to bind autocomplete to the indent button?

I understand disagreeing with the theory, last I checked it has no supporting evidence thus far so that's an entirely rational take. But I think being so confident that it plays no role given how little we actually understand QM is hubris, and mocking someone like Penrose at this stage has the potential to age very poorly.

This is the most common shared take between rationalists and e/acc types. They may disagree on a lot but not this I used to make fun of people like Roger Penrose as well during my rat days 😅 Lol and lmao

@specialkdelslay @isdedlight They missed a real opportunity here to call it OnlyFarms

@nakedMCSE @specialkdelslay @crypt0x_0 Marc follows more small anon accounts than anyone else his size from what I've seen

@specialkdelslay @crypt0x_0 he made the cardinal mistake of becoming a commoner again. whales don't follow commoners.

did yacine criticize Israel or something, what's happening

@Coyohma @hayasaka_aryan There are bases all over the Gulf, not just in Saudi Arabia. Kuwait, Qatar, Afghanistan... and when it's a US base it's US soil, they would not be attacking those host nations. Many would likely be happy to see the bases destroyed. They're just wisely not targeting the US.

@seldondialectic @hayasaka_aryan I’m saying specifically pissing off Saudi Arabia at this point only makes an impossible situation worse for them. Not so much in terms of Saudi’s military capabilities, but bombing another Islamic country would undercut any victim narrative they hope to spin.

Iran ignored Trump’s attack and kept bombing Tel Aviv lmao

@Coyohma @hayasaka_aryan Yes, if they wanted to retaliate they would do so by attacking US soil that they can reach which, in their case, would be the US bases that are within range. They're choosing not to do so. Thanks for agreeing I guess?

@seldondialectic @hayasaka_aryan I’m sure they want to bomb US bases in Saudi Arabia How quickly and completely do you think Iran wants to get btfo?

@Coyohma @hayasaka_aryan There are like 50 US bases around them, they're very deliberately not attacking US soil so far.

@seldondialectic @hayasaka_aryan Their missiles can’t come close to reaching the US, that’s the best they can do lol

@mtracey Nobody sees any problem with setting the precedent that our President saying he's still pondering military action means the enemy should expect an imminent attack? Ok.

Jennifer Griffin of Fox News says the US government engaged in a systematic deception campaign over the past week and she participated in it by concealing information about activity at Whiteman Air Force Base
