Paid for a verified account for a year, and neither my presence nor the quality of my content changed. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but honestly, I don't care. For me it isn't worth the price. In closing, I assure you, I’m not a bot.

@Alexfeinberg I see it differently. Only 50 or so people at Google have ever mattered from a revenue standpoint. The rest engage in endless pointless zero sum games to stay employed as long as possible. In that context the triathlon is the only place to get ranked feedback

@kentcdodds God bless!

He is risen ❤️

@TheProjectUnity USA here

🇬🇧THIS IS A TEST 🇺🇸 ARE YOU IN AMERICA? I want to see if X has quietly added this regional restriction to their algorithm. Drop a comment if you're in America and see this post!

Thoughts about the future of UI that excite me: 1. Complex web interfaces are dead in the long term. They are solving human perception limitations that will no longer be relevant. No one will want to learn how to use complex UIs in the future. If this is your app's differentiator, move fast. 2. Personal agents will win over dedicated app agents. People are getting used to agentic experiences, so building a dedicated agent for your app may *seem* like a good idea, but this is just a "faster horses" solution. No one will browse to 4 different websites to use 4 different agents. They'll use their own single agent and won't care how your websites even look. 3. The new frontend will be UI snippets that will be returned from MCP servers to be rendered in your personal agent. The agent will control the experience, and will display only the specific visualization or interactivity piece that you need from every app. There are fascinating questions there around how the apps will keep their brand in this new world, but without clashing with the agent's own experience. I'm most excited to work on that part. 4. If you're reading this and thinking "there is no way I'm giving up on dashboards" - you're still thinking like a project manager and not like the US president. The president doesn't look at dashboards, he has helpers who look at them and extract only what he needs to know. All visualization is a way of answering questions and make sure you're not missing anything. Eventually it's either "this is going well" or "this requires attention". Once we'll establish trust with the agents capabilities, we'll rely on them like on personal assitants, they'll extract this data, act on it and will defer to us *only* when a human decision or attention is specifically needed. This will happen faster than we think. Try to use Jira's Claude integration for few days, and its "regular" web UI will start to seem unnecessary bloated. In few years the idea of navigating to dozens of websites to manually use dozens of different interfaces will seem very primitive. Personally I'm very bullish on this direction, and have been for the past months. I come from a long career in web development, so naturally there are mixed emotions for me seeing a decade of web UI development concepts evolving into something new. But I'm very excited about it, and very lucky to be at the forefront of it.

You do the thinking, AI does the execution. The engineer of the future isn't the best coder, they're the best at structuring problems for AI to solve.

@elonmusk Isn’t democracy an illusion to keep us in line?

It is the end of democracy if voter ID is not passed

@tannerlinsley I’m there!

Instead of doing a TanStack Conf, I'm seriously considering inviting everyone to just meet up on a Caribbean-bound cruise ship. It'd be cheaper in every way, you could bring as many family/friends as you want, and instead of wasting time on talks/booths, we can just chat endlessly about JS/TS/Web over unlimited freestyle soda machines, soft-serve ice-cream and mini golf.

@Kalshi @grok is this in addition to the 1 trillion from a few days ago

JUST IN: $1 trillion erased from stock market today

@TechLayoffLover At this point, how many employees does meta have? 6

Meta just confirmed 16,000 layoffs but sources inside are telling me the real bloodbath is still coming Word is they're sitting on approval for another 12,000 cuts. Total elimination could hit 28,000 by March Got a DM from someone in Menlo Park facilities: they're already deactivating badge access for entire floors in MPK 20 and 21 The surviving engineers are being handed "AI collaboration protocols" - basically playbooks for working with agents that do 60% of what their dead teammates used to handle One source showed me the internal deck: "human-AI optimal ratios" calculated down to the exact headcount per product area Reality Labs? 4,200 people last month. Targeting 800 by summer. The rest replaced by AI simulation tools and offshore contractors running Cursor They're calling it "efficiency at scale" but the engineering director I talked to said it differently: "we're training the machine to make us obsolete and calling it innovation" Most brutal part: the knowledge extraction is already complete. Every code review, every architectural decision, every debugging session from the past 18 months - all logged, all catalogued, all feeding the replacement systems Senior staff engineers with 8+ years at Meta getting managed out while watching their documented expertise train the models that eliminate their roles The $135 billion AI spend isn't just R&D. It's severance costs and replacement systems rolled into one number One insider told me: "Zuck isn't building the metaverse anymore. He's building the post-engineer reality" If you're still at Meta and reading this - the list is already made

@rauchg Yea man the obsession over perfectly written code is silly. I don’t understand why ppl love something so deeply that can never love them back.

Code is an output. Nature is healing. For too long we treated code as input. We glorified it, hand-formatted it, prettified it, obsessed over it. We built sophisticated GUIs to write it in: IDEs. We syntax-highlit, tree-sat, mini-mapped the code. Keyboard triggers, inline autocompletes, ghost text. “What color scheme is that?” We stayed up debating the ideal length of APIs and function bodies. Is this API going to look nice enough for another human to read? We’re now turning our attention to the true inputs. Requirements, specs, feedback, design inspiration. Crucially: production inputs. Our coding agents need to understand how your users are experiencing your application, what errors they’re running into, and turn *that* into code. We will inevitably glorify code less, as well as coders. The best engineers I’ve worked with always saw code as a means to an end anyway. An output that’s bound to soon be transformed again.

@beffjezos Doesn’t avoid things like your thoughts and feelings just come back stronger?

Get in, anon, we're blissfully avoiding rumination by avoiding introspection

@elonmusk @_kaitodev @garrytan @karpathy The mazlows hierarchy of needs will be a constitutional right in this ASI world

@_kaitodev @garrytan @karpathy All jobs will be optional. There will be universal high income.

5 minutes ago, @karpathy just dropped karpathy/jobs! he scraped every job in the US economy (342 occupations from BLS), scored each one's AI exposure 0-10 using an LLM, and visualized it as a treemap. if your whole job happens on a screen you're cooked. average score across all jobs is 5.3/10. software devs: 8-9. roofers: 0-1. medical transcriptionists: 10/10 💀 karpathy.ai/jobs

@terminaldotshop I see myself more as a detective

@trashh_dev @grok why was dicks number 3 for a small period of time and now its not even in the top 10

how is dicks number 3?

@beffjezos Are u suggesting I work 9-5 at the nuclear power plant and then get a night job at the qwiky mart too so Lisa can buy a pony?

The secret ingredient is to have a second workday 7pm-3am

@thebrianfallon That songs for cruising on Hooper Ave

@Hoang_HQ Hope over the fence and lift the leg out from behind. You isolate there area u need to fix plus a buffer between u and the deer with the fence being there

He proved his strength, not just in muscle but in heart too👏👏💙💙

@theo You probably should lol

I can’t stop thinking about this
