@DJSnM this has to be some form of satire, right?

Do people realize how big a million lines is? I have seen teams take years to build giant SaaS solutions that barely come close to 1,000,000 lines. What are they building over there at OpenAI? It's probably a glorified ToDo app, or 95% node_modules. openai.com/index/harness-…

Companies pay me to build multi-million dollar automated systems. But this CRM is yours for $0: I've been engineering for 22 years. Built systems for Nestle. Mars. Coal mines. Pharma. Across 4 countries. I've built more scaled and robust systems than most people on this app combined. And when I started helping digital businesses grow... I realized one thing: Most CRMs are overcomplicated TRASH. So I built a no-code, open-source CRM that does exactly what you need. Here's what you get for free: • Auto-deal creation from your calendar (Calendly, HubSpot, GHL compatible) • Deal source tracking with visual breakdowns • Average calls to close and days to close metrics • Follow-up automations (call, SMS, reminders) • Domain blacklist to filter out existing clients • MRR/LTV tracking with fully customizable graphs • Complete code + installation walkthrough 1,000s have already downloaded and are LOVING it. Want access? • Comment "CRM" • Connect with me (so I can DM you the link) And I'll DM it to you! PS - It's 100% open-source. You can rip it apart and rebuild it however you want. That's the whole point.

if you get frustrated by llms leaving out critical information needed to accomplish your task, just remember Margin Call, and you’ll be fine.

Our intern just asked me why we don't use Kubernetes. I said because we don't need Kubernetes. He said everyone uses Kubernetes. I said everyone TALKS about using Kubernetes. Most companies are running Docker containers on three servers and calling it a day. We have 40 employees. Our entire infrastructure runs on AWS with auto-scaling groups. It works fine. Kubernetes is designed for companies running thousands of services across hundreds of servers. We have twelve services. But he read that Kubernetes is "industry standard" so now he thinks we're behind. This is what happens when people learn from tech Twitter instead of actual experience. They think every company is Google-scale and needs Google-scale solutions. We don't need Kubernetes. We need our MySQL database to stop running out of connections because someone wrote a query that doesn't close properly. But that's not exciting. Nobody writes blog posts about "I fixed a connection leak." They write about "How we migrated to Kubernetes and saved millions" even though the migration cost more than they saved. I told the intern he should learn why tools exist before learning the tools themselves. He looked disappointed. He wanted to put Kubernetes on his resume.

I've observed a large percentage of people that read The Phoenix Project come away thinking they're either Brent or Bill.

@jayair either engineers are taking a paycut or people are expected to produce more, or both

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

“We’re not automating programming, we’re erasing it from existence” If you’re a software developer and that statement doesn’t strongly resonate with you, your days are numbered and you don’t even realize it.

Elon Musk thinks coding dies this year. Not evolves. Dies. By December, AI won’t need programming languages. It generates machine code directly. Binary optimized beyond anything human logic could produce. No translation. No compilation. Just pure execution. Musk: “You don’t even bother doing coding.” Code was never the point. It was friction. A tax we paid because machines didn’t speak human. AI just learned fluent human. The tax is gone. Now plug that into Neuralink. No syntax. No keyboard. No screen. Musk: “Imagination-to-software.” Thought becomes executable. You imagine an outcome, the system architects and compiles it into reality instantly. We’re not automating programming. We’re erasing it from existence. The entire profession collapses into a thought. Decades of training reduced to irrelevance. The gap between idea and instantiation hits zero. You don’t build anymore. You imagine, and it materializes. Not incremental progress. Total phase shift. The way humans have created things for ten thousand years just became obsolete. Welcome to a world where the limiting factor isn’t skill, resources, or time. It’s whether you can picture what you want clearly enough for a machine to birth it into existence.

If you were a horse breeder, stable owner, blacksmith, horse carriage manufacturer, feed supplier, urban manure collector, or a saddlemaker, your job was replaced by the automobile and the automobile industry over the course of 10-20 years. If you’re afraid “AI” will take your job, figure out how to use it.

Working through an upgrade of ~10 nodejs applications from v16.x to v24.x. Definitely a daunting task and I wish it hadn't been put off for so long. The big players here so far have been node-sass, webpack, and babel.

One of the biggest shifts in my career was realizing that writing correct code wasn’t enough. I started paying attention to how features were planned, tested, released, and supported. That’s when my work started to matter more.

The US NLRB dismissed a complaint against SpaceX for firing 8 engineers who criticized Elon Musk in a 2022 open letter. The board ruled it lacks jurisdiction, as SpaceX falls under the National Mediation Board (NMB) per a recent opinion—offering fewer worker protections. This follows a 2025 court injunction pausing the case after SpaceX challenged the NLRB's structure. A fired engineer called it a sign of weakening labor rights.

Looking back at how I used to write code 10+ yrs or so ago, I would never go back to just coding in Sublime Text on Windows w/ IIS. I've learned now that a modern development environment or dev VM isn’t a luxury. It’s a productivity multiplier and a quality control mechanism.

Automated tests don’t fail teams. Teams fail to invest in automation until deadlines force them to cut corners.

@TheGeorgePu The secret is realizing what all of those traits | job descriptions enable that the person can harness.

'I am a software engineer.' 'I am a marketing manager.' 'I am a founder.' This singularity felt safe. You got good at one thing. Built a career around it. Identified with it. Now it's a vulnerability. If your entire value fits a job description, you're at risk.
