Amreeka is more ****ed up than you can imagine.





JUST DROPPED: Anthropic's research proves AI coding tools are secretly making developers worse. "AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging without delivering significant efficiency gains." -- That's the paper's actual conclusion. 17% score drop learning new libraries with AI. Sub-40% scores when AI wrote everything. 0 measurable speed improvement. → Prompting replaces thinking, not just typing → Comprehension gaps compound — you ship code you can't debug → The productivity illusion hides until something breaks in prod Here's why this changes everything: Speed metrics look fine on a dashboard. Understanding gaps don't show up until a critical failur and when they do the whole team is lost. Forcing AI adoption for "10x output" is a slow-burning technical debt nobody is measuring.

I am leaving everything, To move to San Francisco at 18. What do you think?? 🤔

@mark_k @cursor_ai Coding will be generically available from many companies in a few months



5 Ivy League applications 100 job applications 4 YC applications All rejections, not even an interview. Never had a job. 6+ years of selling vapes, driving DoorDash, tutoring, and taking tests for other students. I watched as students with 1/100th of my drive were handed opportunities because they could play the part. Quietly built skills and accumulated knowledge. No recognition or feedback from anybody. Until it finally paid off. The entire system is rigged against the misfits. Use it as fuel.
