@maria_rcks Google trying its best to improve readability of this graph

DeepSWE is looking a little cramped, just a little.

@zeeg Google does the same and it mostly is +1 for the graveyard of revolutionary services

It’s weird that they wanna compete with their customers

@johncrickett That tier is only for CFOs to mark the checkbox “TOKENS FOR EVERYONE” as completed

Does anyone really think a software engineer can use Claude Pro professionally? I've exhausted the session limit in 40 minutes using Sonnet, on small tasks that keep the context window <20% used.

@craigweiss but did the slop stopped is the question

day 1 of not using ai to write code

@mitsuhiko Looks better than 80% of presentations

I love how after you are done with something, a SOTA model will just make you a HTML presentation of the work it has done. Looks like complete slop but hey.

@oliverjaun @simas_ch Uber was founded 2009, Airbnb 2008, so.. thank you for validating that point 😂

@filipSk @simas_ch Startups like twitter, uber and airbnb… that later… switched to… Java… ups

IMO Java, Vaadin, jOOQ, and Spring Boot are the best choices for AI-driven software development.

@simas_ch Startups of today are the Enterprises of tomorrow

@filipSk Well startups are also a niche compared with the enterprise environment, where Java has been the #1 for many years.

@simas_ch Among high-profile startups founded since 2021, Java appears to be a niche greenfield choice rather than a mainstream default. This world.

@filipSk Which world?

@mardehaym I would fire the architect for not making the roadmap public or time one loop over all assigned MRs for roadmap compatibility

A senior architect told me she'd stopped approving AI-generated PRs from her juniors. Her VP noticed. Approval rates dropped. Cycle times spiked. Suddenly, she's the bottleneck. So she invited the VP to a code review. Just to observe. The junior explained the PR. Confident. Articulate. Code executed. Tests passed. Then she asked, "What happens if we add a second payment provider next quarter?" Silence. The junior stared at the code. The model that generated it doesn't know the roadmap. The code didn't contain an answer, because the system design didn't exist beyond the current ticket. In 8 months, the juniors shipped 40,000 lines of code. None of them could explain how the system worked outside of their immediate task. They thought they understood the codebase. They never actually read it. "They're not bad engineers," she said. "But they've never been wrong long enough to learn anything." The VP had offered courses, certifications, book clubs. But the architect needed something else, and it wasn't more training. She needed permission to slow things down, so the juniors could build a real mental model. One that lives outside the chat window. Juniors don't develop judgment from getting things right. They develop it by sitting with wrong answers, long enough to understand why they failed. You want to test their understanding? Ask them to diagram the system. No IDE/docs/ AI. If the diagram has gaps, those gaps exist in their heads too. You won't notice, until something actually breaks.

@TTrimoreau 100 codex subscription, 100 ice cream

If you had $200, what would you choose? - codex - cursor - claude code

I don’t understand, what is happening?

@craigweiss That’s the reason why I bought a manual one so I can always train fixing the car on the side roads

software engineers buying standing desks as status symbols while always using it as a sitting desk

@samposwal Founders who exited and have way too much time and money

Genuine Question: How on earth are unemployed people on this platform stacking multiple ai subs and burning through claude/codex api credits? I, with a decent salary, still hesitate before paying for a $20 sub, let alone keeping several of them active.

@Tristanrhee3 I would have a fight with Claude about never seeding Prod DBs without my permission

you wake up tomorrow with 10k+ users. what’s the first hire you make?

@LuizaJarovsky I actually prefer AI formatted stuff, people are messy, but for now only a few selected individuals know how to do it. Well, this will change naturally.

Would you still read a book if you discovered it was AI-generated? Would you still watch a movie if you discovered it was AI-generated? Would you still listen to a podcast if you discovered it was AI-generated?

@EarnWhere Some you miss, but let’s be real here

Is it strange that I'm really going to miss the codebase at my job? I've spent 5 years inside of it, learning every corner, a lot of the decisions inside of it are the result of passionate arguments between my coworkers and I. It's so sad that I just won't see it again. Layoffs suck.

@ThePrimeagen @taigrr @vercel @Cloudflare Sorry, sir, I have to disagree, you are The Primehater, there are always two, the master and the apprentice

@taigrr @vercel @Cloudflare oh i don't hate them! I am a regular user! i just like making jokes silly man

So many people hate on @vercel / @Cloudflare for cost but they offer a really great service here People just really like building on nextjs. all in all it's good at being a framework Vercel and cloudflare both do a really good job with their wafs patching vulns before they are public and self hosters have a hard time keeping up, if they even know to.

@lauriewired They are in for the money, not for the game. You can’t fault them for this as the average salary is just what makes them flip over. But I has the strange attribute that it amplifies. It’s not additive, it’s a multiplication. So if you make bad decisions..

I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL. Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine? You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?

@AbhiCodes15 It’s free, it’s good enough and it doesn’t start with the strange glass thing, that looks like ChatGPT

Why do most developers still choose VS Code? There are so many editors. What keeps it on top?
