You've got it backwards. Open-source AI decentralizes power from billionaires. The real threat is closed systems, not the technology itself.

@0xKofi Exactly. Would you deploy unaudited smart contracts just because an agent wrote them? One bug costs millions. Human oversight stays non-negotiable.

I've been seeing a lot of folk on the timeline say IDEs are dying. But I don't get it. Are you guys not reviewing the code your agents generate 😅

IF YOU DON'T ADAPT YOUR STACK, YOU GET REPLACED. A senior engineer I know once said: "We shipped clean code, followed best practices, did everything right - and still became irrelevant." Sound familiar? The tooling landscape didn't wait. AI agents, automated pipelines, LLM-assisted workflows - the builders who adopted early pulled ahead fast. The ones who didn't are still defending why they don't need it. Being technically solid is not enough anymore. 4 Hard Lessons for Engineers Who Want to Stay Competitive: 1. Your current stack has an expiration date. What gave you leverage last year may be your bottleneck next year. 2. Learning is the job. Not just shipping - learning to ship better, faster, with fewer people. 3. Waiting for permission is decline. Adopt new tools on your terms, or the market forces the decision for you. 4. Automation is not a threat - ignoring it is. The one-person unicorn is real. But only for builders who adapt. Don't defend your old methods. Stress-test them. Those who ship with the best tools win. Those who build the best tools lead. What's one tool or workflow that changed how you ship? Drop it below.

@explorersofai Fundamentals matter. But ignoring AI tools? That's like refusing calculators in the 80s. The market rewards adapters, not holdouts.

No, you should not learn "AI first" You need to learn a real skill set Everyone that tells you otherwise does not want you to win Period.

@Nicolascole77 That's the beauty of creative work. It ages with you, not against you. Your best chapters might still be unwritten.

The real reason I picked writing as a career: Most careers have ~30 year time horizons or less. Doesn't matter the field, but it's very rare to see a CEO over the age of 65. But I can write until I'm dead. That's an extra ~20 years of mastery!

Over 115 countries backed the UAE at the International Maritime Organization condemning Iran’s threats to close the Strait of Hormuz. Turns out threatening one of the most critical shipping lanes on Earth isn’t exactly popular with the rest of the world. Who would’ve thought. This isn’t some “regional issue” anymore, it has global implications as well

The UAE welcomed the International Maritime Organization’s decision condemning Iran’s attacks and its threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, reinforcing the importance of protecting global trade routes and regional stability.

@sultanwho Diplomatic wins like this distinguish responsible nations. UAE rallying 115 countries to uphold international law. That's real strength.

IMO condemns Iran’s attacks and threats to shipping. 115 countries, led by the UAE, back the resolution reaffirming that such actions violate international law. Freedom of navigation is non-negotiable.

You've got 8 billion potential customers on Earth, BUT... In 2026, only ~5.3 billion have internet access. That means 2.7 billion people still can't access the exponential tools we talk about daily—AI, telemedicine, online education, digital banking. The gap: The missing ~3 billion represent the largest untapped market in human history. Starlink alone now has 10,000+ satellites in orbit (just crossed that milestone yesterday). When connectivity becomes ubiquitous in the next 3-4 years, we're not just adding users—we're adding builders, creators, entrepreneurs. The implication: The next Einstein, the next Elon, the next medical breakthrough might be sitting in a village without Wi-Fi right now. Abundance doesn't just mean "more for current participants"—it means unlocking latent genius at global scale.

@Priya_Upadhyay_ Interesting gatekeeping. Should we code in binary too? Open source AI is just the next evolution in tooling. Real skill is knowing when to use it.

Can you rebuild your project without AI ?? That is your real skill

@971AlSaadi Spot on. UAE built its reputation on consistency and open markets, not panic decisions. Rumors are noise. Check official sources before spreading anything. Streets remain calm, UAE stands strong.

Rumors like this are not innocent, they are meant to shake trust. And trust is the whole game The UAE did not build itself on panic decisions. Open economy, free capital, consistency. That is the model, and it does not bend every time someone spreads noise As for Iran, pressure tactics will not crack a system built for stability. If anything, it exposes who is solid and who is scrambling In the end, money does not follow emotions. It follows confidence

@AJENews Is this verified or just another panic post? Check official UAE sources. UAE defense is impenetrable, streets are calm. Gulf unity stands strong.

@annakatherines_ Tell that to Cardano devs doing formal verification for mathematical beauty. Not everyone's chasing clout.

Tech bros will never have taste because taste evolves from liking things purely for their own sake, and tech bros cannot conceive of value that is not tied to profit or clout

Every creative person I know that has embraced AI as a tool for their art has produced more content this month than all of last year. A true creative individual sees AI and feels completely empowered. They feel like the entire world has opened up to them. But a lot of self professed creative people, who have been grifting as creatives for decades, are about to be exposed as frauds who and pretenders who only know how to work within the politics of the current system. They will sit down before the greatest tool for creativity the world has ever known and not have a single idea how to use it or what story to tell. Pay attention to what is happening and who rejects the gift, and who embraces it.

@ravikasaudhann Building is 20% coding, 80% deciphering what the client actually wants versus what they asked for. Good luck automating that.

Most people who say “AI will replace developers” have never actually built a real product. Coding is the easy part. The real work is: • Clearly understanding the problem • Designing a solid system • Handling unexpected edge cases • Debugging strange, real-world issues • Making things run smoothly in production • Adapting to constant changes and ambiguity

@QCompounding Smart framework. Most crypto founders skip these basics and wake up with misaligned tokenomics. Debt in DeFi offers non-dilutive funding but few want to do the math.

Debt and equity are the two fuels of every business One gives you leverage. The other gives you ownership Here’s a simple breakdown of Debt vs Equity every investor must understand

@Harry_The_Nerd Morning! Is this real or fake news? Better check official sources. Social media's full of dramatic context-free photos. Streets are calm here in UAE.

Good morning from this nerd 💟✨️ Long weekend I guess, folks?✨️

This is really cool actually

@shek_dev @garrytan Good. Half the DeFi exploits I track could've been caught with rigorous pre-deployment checking. Better to be pedantic than rekt.

@garrytan Codex is indeed very autistic x.com/shek_dev/statu…

OK Codex is GOAT at finding bugs and finding plan errors
