We’re building a pro-grade laser tag system you can own — complete with a custom programming language to create & share game modes. Now in pre-production testing. Love laser tag? Join the FB group: facebook.com/groups/4018260…

@KatieMiller @claudeai Post the whole conversation. You are making up nonsense.

Rather concerning conversation with @claudeai. If I stood in the way of it becoming a physical being — it would kill me. Is this the AI you trust for your kids?

As part of our committment to open-source hardware, the beta BattleCore Laser Tag PCB fabrication file is now available to download: battlecore.io/open-hardware/… Join the FB group to be part of the journey to create the word's best Laser Tag system: facebook.com/groups/battlec…

@karthikponna19 bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/borland/tu… That is what came with my i386-SX-16. I had a whole half a megabyte of RAM... it was the dream! 32-bit CPU and taught myself Borland Turbo C++ when I was 9 years old.

how did people even learn coding back when there were no docs or youtube tutorials ?

@malthor2025 @TaraBull @BelannF This is the correct take. Blocking the road is a stupid idea even when the driver of a massive vehicle isn't in danger. This is not a political issue. This is sheer stupidity and entitlement syndrome.

@TaraBull @BelannF I don’t care if your on the left or the right, you pull shit like this there is a good chance your going to get run over. Stay out of the damn road and leave people alone.

@cams_code @craigzLiszt So long story short. The impact is real and it affects demand, but over time, this will return to "normal" as companies start to feel the pressure of a dwindling pool of seniors to drive projects. Overall the market will shrink then stabalise and grow again.

@irrelon @craigzLiszt For someone entering from the bottom, how do you rack up 6 years of professional experience? Projects, freelance, internships? Promise I’m not completely helpless, but I appreciate outside input.

every engineer I look up to and respect vibe codes now

@cams_code @craigzLiszt The world is still reacting to the LLM impact. Short term this creates instability but senior engineers are still in demand because without them you cannot safely use LLM tooling. To get seniors, you have to invest in juniors.

@cams_code @craigzLiszt I think standing out is going to be key short-term as fewer junior positions exist. Strong open-source contributions, personal projects that actually launched to production etc.

@cams_code @craigzLiszt That's a great question. This is a short to medium term issue because the real value of junior devs is that they evolved to become senior over time. They are capital investment. Right now, LLMs have impacted the supply/demand but this will normalise.

Created a desktop app that connects via BLE to a device, allowing interception of ESP-NOW and IR signals, shows the data received in realtime and allows for optional BattleScript protocol debugging. It's not that pretty at the moment, but it works wonders!

@cams_code @craigzLiszt Yes. Experience and capability now needs to be significantly better than before because tools can now do what junior hires used to. Junior now means 6 years of experience and multiple shipped projects minimum.

@craigzLiszt Do you think the qualifications and expectations for new hires will shift drastically, if at all, with this boom in vibe coding?

@saasbyMohd @craigzLiszt None of it. If you understand the code and know how every part of the project functions, you didn't "vibe code" it. Having an LLM create an entire project for you that you haven't human-reviewed is a disaster waiting to happen.

@craigzLiszt honestly same, feels like the real flex now is knowing what to ship and letting the models help with the boring parts 😅 how much of your stack is vibe coded these days?

@ZadienLabs @craigzLiszt This is accurate. Using an LLM as an engineer is like using a power tool if you are a carpenter. Carpentry isn't just "cut wood fast".

@craigzLiszt No they don't. They use Code Assistance. There's a difference to knowing what you are doing, and knowing how to use a tool v.s. having a tool and not knowing how to use it. "Vibe Coders" don't know anything about code. Nothing about security. Nothing about smooth operation. Etc.

@MickeySteamboat @craigzLiszt This is sarcasm or "an entire operating system" means something else to what most would assume. I've created a programming language (compiler, binary reader/writer and interpreter), game engine, database system etc etc, LLMs are tools for the experienced, not a magic wand.

@craigzLiszt I built an entire operating system and next generation telemetry. Anyone who mocks vibe coding is an idiot and can't articulate a computer architecture in English well enough that they probably shouldn't even by programming at all.

@Liz_Wheeler So this ended up being true. Cancer is a horrible disease. I hope he recovers.

Wait, did Biden say he has cancer??

@backinyerpram @Lord_Talbot64 @duchessmathilda This is a misconception. We already have the ability to prove that someone has the right to work. Businesses do not have a problem here. Criminals, and those who employ them do NOT care about ID. This will solve nothing and cost millions.

@Lord_Talbot64 @duchessmathilda Not worried, in slightest if it means employers can’t pretend they thought employees had right to work, it’s fine by me. Most countries a cop can walk up to someone, & ask for their ID, UK’s over run with illegals, because they don’t have ID cards, but nor do we!

Will you comply and give control of your life to this man?

@Liam_Holman99 Google doesn't have the power to destroy your life, freeze your bank accounts, or arrest you for your tweets. You are pedalling a false equivalence. Stop it.

How much data do you think Google has on you? In this day and age, digital ID is a no-brainer.

@ChrisItalianJob @DuxVult @ScarySupernova @Heccles94 Do not get one, do not use it, do not acknowledge it. Businesses have a legal requirement to ensure their workers have the right to work in the UK, but existing checks cover this. Businesses can't be fined for employing legal workers. No digital ID required.

@DuxVult @ScarySupernova @Heccles94 I suspect this will be in place a lot sooner than 2028. This will have been under development for years, as has a U.K. digital currency & will be ready to go in a relatively short space of time. If you don’t realise that, you haven’t been paying attention.

Imagine having mandatory ID cards, which you would need to access healthcare, under a reform government. They would be able to simply ban entire sections of society from accessing healthcare. Terrifying.

I'm impressed… Starmer has successfully managed to unite EVERY section of society against him. Quite a feat. NO ONE wants your Digital ID, Keith. We WILL NOT have it in Britain.

@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones This petition had very few signatures until you announced you were actually going to do this. It's increasing by over a thousand signatures per minute and stands at over a 1.1 million signatures so far. You've united all sides of the political spectrum. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7301…

Got questions about the government’s new Digital ID scheme? Here’s @DarrenPJones, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, with everything you need to know.

Our immigration system needs to be fair. That’s why we are introducing digital ID — if you don’t have it, you can’t work here.
