@Nero "God King" is diabolical

Yeah there’s a lot gonna come out about this dude

@DaleStarkA10 Oregon is absolutely beautiful and Portland absolutely ruins it for everyone

Reminder that the last Oregon governor’s election was decided by less than 40k votes. With some strategic migration we could reclaim the most beautiful state in the country.

@kylegawley $50/mo customers pretending like they gave you their whole life savings and come at you with legal threats are hilariously annoying af. You have 5 minutes of down time and they act like their entire business is destroyed because of it.

Some days I feel like I am wasting my time building SaaS products I spend a lot of time and energy grinding for $50/mo customers I could get a few consulting customers and have a simple, easy life making $100k/mo Change my mind

@mattpocockuk Perhaps vibe coding IDE's isn't a great choice

Saying bye-bye to Cursor for a bit. Can't abide the 90 second loading time on WSL Multi-line edits don't work Opens sidebars and tabs I don't need Good NES doesn't matter so much when Claude is doing all the work Sup, VSCode

@elonmusk Ryan, reporting for duty 🫡

Buy Ryan Air and restore Ryan as their rightful ruler

@iAnonPatriot The who?

@one_man_in Absolute Chad

Seven years since the darkness descended on DusitD2. I remain deeply grateful to God that I could stand and fight against those forces of evil. Moments like these remind me: we run toward the fight so others can live. Honored to have been part of it. 🇰🇪🏴‍☠️ #7YearsLater #StandAgainstEvil #TerroristAttackGirl #FaithOverFear

@flaviocopes A bunch of js people got together and made a library for everything of course

How did we end up here?

If you took a list of PRs today and showed it to me 5y ago without any context, I'd think that somehow everyone got learning disabilities. And that's insulting to people with learning disabilities because they're actually perfect, while these PRs are by deeply flawed people. That's how stupid 90% of AI coded PRs look.

Curious if you ever figured out how to measure your dict in bytes tho? 🧐

Slow clap to @ThePrimeagen for being an OG code Karen master baitor: "How thoroughly you wove the double entendres into your your question was impressive, but it also made it clear that doing so was intentional." youtube.com/watch?v=Gy0fp4…

Anndddd... just as I predicted. These AI companies are going to try to switch to profitability in 2026 and users are going to find out a hard lesson. Happens in every software market. The VC playbook is: 1. Focus on market expansion as fast as possible with unlimited funding. 2. Capture huge market segments while also ignoring costs. 3. Subsidize price of product to very very cheap... Companies burn cash like crazy 4. Users think said software will always be this cheap 5. VS's switch narrative to profitability 6. The buck gets passed to users and price 10x's. Tons of users leave.

@conspiracyb0t I mean he's not wrong...

Putin: "I want the ordinary citizens of Western countries to hear me." "You are being persistently told that all your current difficulties are the result of hostile actions by vicious Russia, and that you must pay for the fight against a mythical Russian threat out of your own pockets. All of this is a lie." "The truth is that the problems you are facing now are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of your own countries—their mistakes, short-sightedness, and ambition. They do not think about how to improve your lives; they are obsessed with their own selfish interests and excessive profits." - Vladimir Putin

Really useful breakdown of how LLMs are working under the hood to generate their output. Should be a required watch for devs imo. youtube.com/watch?v=NKnZYv…

@weswinder @ThePrimeagen Yeah I understand. The people that get things for free are also the most expensive. "bad" is a bad word for their business model. Weak is a better wording for it in this new ai world. We need to encourage any biz that can to sponsor oss they use in this new world.

@rlfrahm @ThePrimeagen it's more being mad at this github comment business model being bad is a different issue than how people treat the person whose work they are building on without paying him anything

I'll say it again, I think this AI cycle we are in is a net negative on society A man/team that has made the web significantly more pleasant as a platform for many people and spent years doing so for free has AI effectively destroy the business model by first taking his work And this is how a member of the community responds. Real sad times IP theft is real and I personally think that the C-suite of these current companies deserve jail time for the level of theft they enabled

@weswinder @ThePrimeagen I agree with your sentiment but he has a weak business model. I’m not sure what the model is moving forward in OSS, but the S&P7 are 100% going to continue to steal until changes are made.

@ThePrimeagen it's also enabled a huge number of spoiled brats who think they can abuse the people who made it possible for them to code by just typing "build me a thing" adam should have never ended up here not okay, and this pisses me off

Don't forget to be a genius as well. Dude is 18 and cracked, holy moly... youtube.com/watch?v=-nOY7X…

There is a correlation between revenue and customer closeness. The most profitable startups I have ever built or worked for also had customer conversations prioritized on their calendars many times per day.

The chargeback system is such a fraudulent system that allows people to just steal whatever they want from honest retailers and all the responsibility is put on us, not the card issuers for banking with scum of the earth. What a joke. Customer buys 5 car wheels from me. Order is fulfilled from our DC automatically. (Wheels are loaded on a 53' Fedex semi). Customer gets a shipment tracking email and requests to cancel order several hours after truck has left. There's no possible way to get them back. Then they throw a fit and dispute the charge as "unrecognized". I provide miles of documentation proving without a doubt that the customer definitely knows what this charge was from. (Keep in mind I had an extensive email thread with this customer about their order). Bank immediate resolves in customer's favor. $1,500 worth of product stolen. In 2025 I've had almost 10% of my product stolen from me via chargebacks despite many SOP's in place like fraud detection and ID verifications. Screw you VISA and Mastercard. You are complacent in fraud.
