@CrystalHakurei Dead internet theory was Israeli internet theory all along

@noahkostesku now why would you so that 😭 (or is it only for the summer)

If you’re from Toronto let’s connect, moving there this summer !

@netcapgirl the entire SaaS economy is just different companies charging you $12/month to store the same document in a different place

@BasedDaedalus I just don't understand why you thought of putting this out into the world

just met a cute girl at the wedding i’m at like unreal. face card so crazy my frontal lobe clocked out. i’m talking generational. if symmetry was a startup she just closed series b. we’re vibing. she’s laughing. eye contact locked. i’m farming aura like it’s a full-time job. then coding comes up. she goes “yeah i code” my soul did a hard restart i’m like oh word “what do you build?” she says “mostly vibe-coding rn” and that’s where a normal man would say “that’s fire” and get her number but unfortunately i was built in a lab i go: “ok define vibe-coding” “claude code or codex” “cursor agent mode or raw dogging prompts” “you got git or just vibes” “tests?” “types?” “deploy?” “rollback?” “you read diffs or click accept like a casino addict” she starts laughing like i’m joking i was entering forensic mode. she says “i just use chatgpt and claude and keep asking until it kinda works” i say “works where” she says “like… on my laptop” i say “so localhost cosplay” bro. and i swear to God the violinist in the corner sounded like a system alarm the vibe died instantly DIED flatline. kernel panic. social segfault. full emotional 500 in prod. i try one last save. i go “ok but do you at least push to github” she says “sometimes, i mostly keep stuff on desktop folders” DESKTOP FOLDERS i started dissociating. i could see my ancestors. i could hear linus torvalds screaming in the distance. her friend walks over like “omg are y’all talking tech” and i accidentally say “she said she’s a developer but her stack is claude code, codex, and divine intervention” she goes “wait no i made a website” i said “a figma screenshot with a typeform link is not a website, it is a cry for help” SILENCE. like biblical silence. they walked away. she did not look back. my friend comes over like “bro she was INTO you what happened” i said “she called herself a coder and then described generating a landing page and praying over it” he said “so?” SO??? i’m supposed to build a future with someone whose incident response plan is ‘refresh and re-prompt’??? she had a heavenly face card but an apocalyptic workflow zero tests zero repos zero shame infinite vibes could’ve had her number but she now knows i respect source control and honestly that’s worth more

open.spotify.com/show/2khJBoF73… guys I found another gem of a podcast ahhhh

tech toronto i am hosting @AnthropicAI for a Claude for Everyone community meetup. our venue sponsor had a conflict and backed out last minute. if you have access to a venue, an office with a DOPE setup (huge screen, mic, speakers) and can fit 100-200 ppl dm me. do it for the future of your city.

This is what Apple should have done a year ago. But instead Nothing is charging full-steam ahead. If you been following along here, you know that through the last couple of years. I've been talking a lot about self-assembling apps. About how the future of software will look very different from today. We are closing in on that future, at an accelerating speed. It's happening right now. There is no going back. Anything you can imagine, will be made possible, any fringe and super personal app that only you would need. Could and will be built. What happens to software at scale when everyone can make whatever their hearts desires? The future is here right now. This implementation by nothing is so smart. They make sure the apps you build look on point, and they give you the tools (no need to be a techie) You just use plain language and they sort the rest. This is so smooth. I hope others will follow. This is a very mainstream approach. I'm watching this over and over. It's so smart.

@kevinakwok what if you're 25 ? 😭

If you follow me and are under 24. You should apply to Interact Dead line is Feb 9th. So take some time this weekend and apply There are few things that you might look back on years later and realize had huge impact on your life, and this is one joininteract.com

@gdb sooo basically is studying CS for undergrad, even if you plan on doing a master's or PhD later in it, is useless?

Software development is undergoing a renaissance in front of our eyes. If you haven't used the tools recently, you likely are underestimating what you're missing. Since December, there's been a step function improvement in what tools like Codex can do. Some great engineers at OpenAI yesterday told me that their job has fundamentally changed since December. Prior to then, they could use Codex for unit tests; now it writes essentially all the code and does a great deal of their operations and debugging. Not everyone has yet made that leap, but it's usually because of factors besides the capability of the model. Every company faces the same opportunity now, and navigating it well — just like with cloud computing or the Internet — requires careful thought. This post shares how OpenAI is currently approaching retooling our teams towards agentic software development. We're still learning and iterating, but here's how we're thinking about it right now: As a first step, by March 31st, we're aiming that: (1) For any technical task, the tool of first resort for humans is interacting with an agent rather than using an editor or terminal. (2) The default way humans utilize agents is explicitly evaluated as safe, but also productive enough that most workflows do not need additional permissions. In order to get there, here's what we recommended to the team a few weeks ago: 1. Take the time to try out the tools. The tools do sell themselves — many people have had amazing experiences with 5.2 in Codex, after having churned from codex web a few months ago. But many people are also so busy they haven't had a chance to try Codex yet or got stuck thinking "is there any way it could do X" rather than just trying. - Designate an "agents captain" for your team — the primary person responsible for thinking about how agents can be brought into the teams' workflow. - Share experiences or questions in a few designated internal channels - Take a day for a company-wide Codex hackathon 2. Create skills and AGENTS[.md]. - Create and maintain an AGENTS[.md] for any project you work on; update the AGENTS[.md] whenever the agent does something wrong or struggles with a task. - Write skills for anything that you get Codex to do, and commit it to the skills directory in a shared repository 3. Inventory and make accessible any internal tools. - Maintain a list of tools that your team relies on, and make sure someone takes point on making it agent-accessible (such as via a CLI or MCP server). 4. Structure codebases to be agent-first. With the models changing so fast, this is still somewhat untrodden ground, and will require some exploration. - Write tests which are quick to run, and create high-quality interfaces between components. 5. Say no to slop. Managing AI generated code at scale is an emerging problem, and will require new processes and conventions to keep code quality high - Ensure that some human is accountable for any code that gets merged. As a code reviewer, maintain at least the same bar as you would for human-written code, and make sure the author understands what they're submitting. 6. Work on basic infra. There's a lot of room for everyone to build basic infrastructure, which can be guided by internal user feedback. The core tools are getting a lot better and more usable, but there's a lot of infrastructure that currently go around the tools, such as observability, tracking not just the committed code but the agent trajectories that led to them, and central management of the tools that agents are able to use. Overall, adopting tools like Codex is not just a technical but also a deep cultural change, with a lot of downstream implications to figure out. We encourage every manager to drive this with their team, and to think through other action items — for example, per item 5 above, what else can prevent a lot of "functionally-correct but poorly-maintainable code" from creeping into codebases.

Everyone talks about humanoids. Meanwhile, @loki_robotics:

Andrew Tate explaining why he doesn't read books is the funniest video I've watched all week 🤣

lmaoooo

Like I’ve said before, if you have a 2 in front of your age, the world is quite literally yours:

@ycombinator don't y'all dare pull that move again 😤

After hearing feedback from Canadian founders in our network, we’ve decided to add Canada back to our list of accepted countries of incorporation. Going forward, YC will once again invest in US, Canada, Cayman, and Singapore corporations. ycombinator.com/blog/adding-ca…

@ExtremeBlitz__ just watch breaking bad like me

everyday it gets harder to find a video to watch on YouTube while eating

all it takes is an idea. coming soon: March 21-22.

@socraticainfo omg this is so giving thrift shop by Harvard med school 😍 youtu.be/Mrlnh3vebSc?si…

Coolest tech start-ups people in Toronto/Waterloo?

i'm just so tired of this. my body is tired, my mind is a mess. i just really want to lay in bed and never get up. i'm just so tired of life
