businesses don't want hammers, they want nails on the wall, to hang their pictures.

there are things you program and things that program you the path to enlightenment is to realize you are both the great programmer programming himself as the great program

AIs are like dogs. Great as a companion. Creepy if you date one.

@mercury support is unmatched.

all good engineers are turing-complete

when you catch yourself saying "i can not" reframe it with "i do not know how to" because you do know how to know don't you? so get to work

you keep saying "i can not" what you really mean is "i do not know" you invent invisible gates to avoid the work where the only "gate" is that of ignorance and the only gatekeeper is you

@MusicByCaleb @cooltechtipz Yes.

@cooltechtipz The don’t use is the only use

@maharshii yes.

everything is divine intervention if you are good at the art of noticing.

@MedGold_ would you put "has legs" in a tweet about what a chair should be?

This was me before I came across @MikeMichalowicz's formula in his book "Profit First", which applies to both business and personal lifestyle, REVENUE - PROFIT = EXPENSE (as opposed to REVENUE - EXPENSE = PROFIT) The only thing dumber than this dumb formula is me not realizing this earlier than I had.

I think most folks don’t realize that in Silicon Valley.. There are plenty of people who are living paycheck to paycheck even though they are earning top-tier income. This is happening for early-career folks and definitely true if you have kids. “Going negative” for a few years is a common utterance, especially if people want to be ambitious (aka working on startups). Given that real estate and daycare are expensive, people end up having absurdly high monthly burn. Add lifestyle creep, and folks are essentially one layoff away from a house of cards coming down. This is especially happening now as “directors” are getting fired from large companies and they are forced to take a title and compensation deflation. You only hear the “killing it” and “making millions” stories so it’s often good to remember that this other reality also exists. Just stay humble and play your own game!

I did a 7-day @jhanatech retreat, meditated 2-3h everyday, and I only needed ~5h of sleep after first 3 days. What I learned is that you can essentially replace at least 3-4 hours of sleep with a state where your body is sleeping but mind isn't. tl;dr: my body probably needs 7-8h of rest every day, my mind definitely doesn't.

Wow ~70% of the people replying either have poor reading comprehension skills or make assumptions about me, but what more can you expect on Twitter! 😄 1. I am not denying the importance of sleep. SLEEP DEPRIVATION IS BAD, I try to obtain ~7 hrs of sleep every night. That is not the point of the tweet. I am saying wouldn't it be nice if we could make it not this way? 2. This has nothing to do with productivity, capitalism, me being in my 20s, whatever other rubbish you guys are saying. Are all of you seriously okay with being essentially unconscious for a third of your life? That's a third of your life you could be out there experiencing the world, enjoying life!! For context, I have been saying this since I was like 6 yrs old, I have even talked about this on national TV at 9 yrs old lol

for serious / long-term projects, vibe-code suffers the exact same problems as no-code. you inevitably hit the capability ceiling when the underlying model/tool crumbles under its own weight. and you are left hanging at a state which is objectively worse than if you or another skilled engineer have built it.

Vibe coding fails at a certain project size because LLMs make incorrect assumptions every few steps. When a project grows large enough that fixing issues requires more steps than the LLM can handle on average without errors, attempts to fix code introduce more mistakes

good teachers answer your questions, great teachers question your answers.

either mold yourself to fill a market shaped hole, or curve a you-shaped hole in the market. which way modern man?

ANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE ANYWHERE BUT THE BOTTLENECK ARE AN ILLUSION
