@RayDalio @grok based on this post, what's a defensible strategy going into 2026?

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Waiting for the new headline: #Bitcoin "CRASHES" from $101,000 to $85,000. Save the tweet.

What in the F is an AI factory? I had to investigate what the unelected @EU_Commission is talking about today So according to them, it's some data centers (which they call supercomputers) in 6 different EU countries I checked out the most powerful one: Karolina, a Czech data center, it mostly has CPUs though (see pic) not GPUs, so mostly useless for AI The GPUs it does have are 72x 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU, so 576x A100, or equivalent of 240x H100s (H100 is about 2.4x the compute power of A100) So let's compare that: @xAI has 200,000x H100 GPUs So the xAI data center has 800x more compute than the Czech one If we combine xAI, Meta, AWS, etc. it's about 750,000 H100s If we assume the other 5 data centers in the EU are equivalent to the Czech one (which is massive stretch because most of the others seem AI consultacny services, they don't even HAVE chips!), the EU's new "AI factories" have a total of 1,440x H100 GPUs, let's round up to 1,500 to be nice So the EU is trying to compete with 750,000 GPUs with their own 1,500 GPUs, so 500x less?? Correct me if I'm wrong but it's just seems very low impact and another ridiculous idea and burning of EU tax payers money that will end up in local cronies and bureaucrats and will do NOTHING to improve the AI business climate for Europe The best way to improve it is to deregulate, make it super easy and low tax (especially when starting out) to start AI companies in Europe
