Wow, I totally disagree with this statement. At the current state, AI actually amplifies the developer to developer difference. If you were a 10x developer, you had good ideas + architectural clarity, this is a brutal advantage when using AI. Steering is a fundamental part of today's AI development.

A true honor for our team - nominated by @mobbin @asallen next to some gorgeous apps for "App of the Year" If you enjoy your little alien, vote here → mobbin.com/awards

@rankintweets same but Claude ignores whenever it wants

this line in our AGENTS.md has done more for agent code quality than any skill ever will

rust is this era’s assembly. intent expressed as English, LLM compiles to rust, rust compiler takes it from there

@DannyNemer nicely done Danny

my solo SaaS, Conductor, which largely operates autonomously, has crossed $300k ARR and serves enterprise customers like Ramp. Conductor is a deeply niche product: it gives developers a clean API to integrate with a specific, archaic on-premises accounting platform used by hundreds of thousands of U.S. small and medium businesses. churn is nearly nonexistent. Conductor's customers have hard dependencies on this integration -- their end users run this accounting platform and need to sync financial data bidirectionally. there is no workaround. if you want to serve those customers, you need this integration. the hardest part of building Conductor was not the architecture -- it was the surface area of undocumented edge cases, silent bugs, opaque error codes, and connection and permissions issues that only surfaced through hundreds of live debugging sessions with real QuickBooks Desktop users. that institutional knowledge is now baked into the product. Conductor now grows linearly, adding roughly $1.5k MRR per month. i still ship one or two improvements per week and spend about two hours on customer support, though that number continues to decline as i iteratively tighten the product and documentation.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@Sirupsen oh hell yea

one of the reasons I love working with @paularambles is her ability to teleport us into the future. she just yolo figured this out one day and now every iOS developer is a motion designer. amazing

@thdxr mountains upon mountains of pointless mocking and spying at best

one place i hadn't been that diligent in curbing the chaos that LLMs create was in our tests looking through them gives me a preview of what happens when these things go unchecked and damn is it bad lot of ALL CAPS messages needed

unfortunately hearing a lot more stories like this these days

@benhylak ew

5.4 uses perl a lot btw

i went off dnd for a few hours to test a feature i'm building and dear lord i don't know how you all live like this

@juberti now do 2026

Agreed. I think of this year-by-year: 2022: GPT 3.5 2023: GPT-4 2024: Reasoners 2025: Coding agents

Since December, the folks on our team making the biggest leaps in productivity are people with deep experience as managers, like @aseemk and @evangoldschmidt. We wrote more about that leap here: tolans.com/relay/why-the-…

@difficultyang not to mention 2>&1 everywhere. so ugly

claude code reflexively slapping "| tail" on every command is such harness blackpill

Today, Claude writes the majority of our iOS code, and every stability/performance metric is improved. Here's how we did it:

the way that garlic domesticated humans ought to be studied

yea so we basically *require* AI in our onsites now we don't care about what you know on the spot, we care about what you can conjure our ios lead dan shares more about our approach: tolans.com/relay/how-we-h…

how you know openai is full of ex metamates

just did this last week as well. delightful
