@justalexoki @hassundotX Braindead non-experts who couldn’t add 2 and 3 suddenly generate a todo list using claude and think software engineering is solved. Its like a kid putting a band aid on a cut and thinking he solved world cancer. I question whether they have evolved from ape or are still ape.

I loved reading the first edition of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications". It is the most comprehensive book on the types of systems I work on. I recently started reading the second edition. It was a pleasant surprise—and rather humbling—to read the references in Chapter 1.

@Mnilax I have not been able to steer its behaviour with any level of restructuring / cleaning up both the files. So I gave up on trying to make it work.

@Mnilax For example - one of the rules that I add is research API docs / latest data before acting (e.g. for infra stuff). But it always falls back to using data from training. This has been particularly frustrating

Karpathy threw a grenade at every senior engineer who still treats LLMs as a toy. his actual words: the worst thing an expert can do right now is reject them. most experts read it as a threat, but it's advice. his framing: > the gap between "AI tools are bad" and "AI tools are useful when used right" is professional discipline, not capability > agents have cognitive deficits. they fail in ways nothing in the training set anticipated > the experts who reject LLMs lose to experts who learn to wrangle them > "models have so many cognitive deficits. but you can route around them" routing around the deficits is what CLAUDE.md was invented for. Karpathy himself wrote 4 rules. across 30 codebases they took my Claude error rate from 41% down to 11%. solid drop. but his rules pre-date the slop era going public. I bolted on 8 more, tuned to the failure modes that surfaced after January. got it down to 3%. a CLAUDE.md does not raise Claude's IQ. it lowers his slop floor. that is the entire game. open the article underneath. the model is not the bottleneck. your config is.

@Mnilax So if you have a defined project and the shape of your tasks is pretty narrow and well-defined (e.g adding incremental features or refactoring) - it works. But if you are doing anything open-ended (e.g. setting up a homelab, conducting exploratory research etc) …. (1/2)

Lee Schmidt@leeschmidt123·
Met a guy who’s a partner at one of the largest consulting firms in the US and globally. He started talking about AI coding. What followed was a stream of nonsensical AI and coding related buzz words. Recommended “forking claude” (whatever that means), and “use github workflows for everything so the agents can talk to each other” (also whatever that means). And it only went downhill from there. Large businesses pay these people millions of dollars. So much waste and cluelessness out there it’s insane.

Dear interns, I am sorry for what I said about Terminal App on Mac. It is better than cmd on Windows I am sorry for lashing out I'll be taking the rest of this weekend off Twitter to understand why I behaved this way. Say we are a family or you are fired, ThePrimeagen P.S.: we are doing layoffs because of AI

If Claude Code, agentic workflows, and MCP still mean nothing to you in 2026 This is probably your last year as a software engineer.

@SahilBloom Sure the message is correct - but the intention is not. Not everything should be done just because it's acceptable or not acceptable by people.

Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

I just offboarded my entire Polish dev team. The result? A 1,000% increase in velocity and 0ms communication latency. Founders, stop being philanthropists for legacy outsourcing. The "Polish Hack" is a 2010s delusion. Here is why your Warsaw team is your biggest bottleneck. 🧵
