have a high bar, use the thing you’re working on, understand what qualifies as core experience

Bottlenecked by time and tokens. Next: power

@recapitul8r have you considered two?

@jaredLunde one

How much compute do you have at home?

@tarunnx @JustJake

@JustJake how will a non technical person decide between thread::spawn and tokio::spawn? why is everyone in such a hurry to prove that computer science is the most useless degree?

Technical people should understand they're going to get their ass beat by non-technical people right now You don't need to know how to code to write Rust anymore Stop pearl clutching and start problem solving

@udaysy Oh for sure, probably less than that

@jaredLunde and in 5 years we'll say the same about prompt engineering lol

legit hard to believe they called CRUD plumbing "knowledge work" at one point

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-time SaaS bear. You just got finished listening to some podcast, Dario on Dwarkesh, probably. Now you think it’s the end of white collar work and seat-based pricing is screwed. You're gonna be convinced of that til tomorrow when you get to “Something Big is Happening”. Then you’ll install ClawdBot on a Mac Mini, vibe code a dashboard on top of a postgres database and say we’re all just a couple ralph loops away from building a Salesforce competitor. That’s gonna last until next week when you discover context graphs, and then you're gonna be talking about how the systems of record will be disintermediated by an agentic layer and reposting OAI marketing graphics. “Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because ultimately the application layer is just ….” The application layer is just business logic on top a CRUD database. You got that from Satya’s appearance on the BG2 pod, December 2024, right? Yeah, I saw that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or...is that your thing? You get into the replies of anyone posting a SaaS ticker. You watch some podcast and then pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some VCs and embarrass some anon who’s long SaaS? See the sad thing about a guy like you is in a couple years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: you dropped thirty grand on Mac Minis and LLM API calls to come to the same conclusion you could’ve got for free by following a handful of VC accounts.

people will literally make your code sit in a build/deploy pipeline for 20m w hard deps on shit like git versioning + docker and say they’re “building the cloud for ai agents” with a straight face lol

tech people: taste has never been more important the taste:

Cut all organizational red tape. Ship code freely. Prosper.

I think localhost matters much less now. Coding models are good enough that validating in prod-like environments just works. Why grind on localhost when you can iterate async against a real deployed environment?

I really think we're entering the golden age of software and computer science. Sooo much software is going to be written going forward. And that's going to introduce a host of new challenges. And it really feels like the way to deal with those is not frameworks and platforms, but computer science fundamentals. The challenges are already very apparent. For example, managing the syntax semantic gap, enforcing security at the language systems level (is it finally time for trusted computing?), full system level error handling and recovery, evolving architecture based on runtime learnings, higher level formalization of intent, rethinking state management and guarantees etc. etc. The needed innovation is across the entire stack. From silicon to software engineering practices. We're already seeing the disruption everywhere chips, networking, operating systems, languages, language runtimes, distributed systems, platform support, security etc. etc. etc. What a time.

me and the fam in 5 years

We’ve raised a $100m Series B Every person will become a developer. This requires deleting the drudge work of deploying software So, we’ve built the worlds first intelligent cloud provider Because we believe in unburdening the ambitious blog.railway.com/p/series-b

design for where you're going, not where you are.

to achieve jhana, put a good feeling in a ralph wiggum loop

If you're not Claude Coding until your eyes bleed every night, you're on the express train to the permanent underclass

@raychen prayge

@jaredLunde the only future I want to live in; a future free of the js ecosystem

man I can't wait to never deploy TypeScript again. future is gonna be epic
