Gone are those days when all you need for web development was Xampp! I reset my Mac and doing setup now looks like a heavy task… phpstorm, vscode, herd, dbngin, android studio, Xcode and still installing… all these with hope that @nativephp works on my Mac intel!

@simonhamp I just feel some of these guys are using some tools within their firm that others don’t know yet. I have tested giving clear instructions and boom 💥… I gave another instruction to revert everything done. Sometimes, AI isn’t getting the business logic, so i still write!

Naaa. This is all just to make you feel like you're doing work while you sleep The real work starts when you wake up to inspect what's been done Trying to "set it and forget it" on software creation feels like a pipe dream to me Good software doesn't appear by magic, even with the best PM and their most beautiful spec It REQUIRES attention and iteration - real people staying close to both the problem and the solution Trying to skip out on either of those isn't going to work The individuals and teams who iterate well with AI during the day will 100% outshine the greatest plan writers who leave the AI to construct at night

Eric Schmidt says the 10x advantage is no longer execution. It is defining what counts as success. A programmer writes a spec and an evaluation function, runs it at 7pm, and wakes up to what was invented overnight. The advantage now belongs to whoever can specify the problem precisely. The rest will be automated.

So today, I instruct opencode to revert all its code changes and I had to do it myself. Sometimes this tools act like they smoke weed. App now look nicer. The next few hours will be dedicated to trying @nativephp again. No giving up

As a dev, what was the first thing you built? Mine was a Javascript calculator that worked perfectly until I tried division. Drop yours👇

@simonhamp Hoping to see how this goes so I can get a gig. Lost my gig for over 4months and I have not gotten any. I’ve been focusing energy on my print shop and writing app to manage print/small business gbm.generah.com . Future of software is now scary

@Akintola_steve Yes it is. I use starlink while user is on MTN/AIRTEL bad network. I forgot how bad these network providers were since I started using starlink. Optimizing for slow network is very important in Nigeria

A startup spent 18 months building a product for Nigeria launched it, got press, investors were happy, the team was proud then something happened that nobody in that office saw coming...

@Lukeedesigner Yet it can. With little bit of frastration added to it so that you’ll use the next 7days to debug.

@Akintola_steve Why should a backend engineer necessarily have to go spend time learning SOAP if he doesn’t have a legacy project that requires it? SOAP shouldn’t be a metric for judgement and if it becomes one, then backend engineer who doesn’t know COBRA and DCOM should be considered failed!

Omo, too many backend devs are just too chilled with REST APIs sha 😂 Never touched SOAP? Never touched gRPC? Or GraphQL? If all you do is CRUD apps daily… you’re not really an engineer. Learn how architectures scale, or stay stuck at the same level (and salary) forever.

I was fired from WhatsApp this morning. I was responsible for adding the 'Delete for me' button — so when you scramble to delete a picture you sent to the wrong group, you end up making sure everyone else gets to enjoy it forever

Loving this! I believe this setup is the only unsettle part. I’m now faced with “Gradle Build Failed”. Another research point for me BTW, the @nativephp doc can be updated to include that the export environment variables should be added in ~/.zshrc ❤️; not just paste in terminal
