Trust the process.

Thanks for the bday present @claudeai @DarioAmodei

@bertlef_ @Gregorein go touch grass

@BullStern @Gregorein And?

so... I audited Garry's website after he bragged about 37K LOC/day and a 72-day shipping streak. here's what 78,400 lines of AI slop code actually looks like in production. a single homepage load of garryslist.org downloads 6.42 MB across 169 requests. for a newsletter-blog-thingy. 1/9🧵

🔶 Agentic payments are coming x402 is mentioned MANY times in this source code For those that don't know, x402 is a crypto based agentic payment system where agents can autonomously make payments Will Claude Code be buying things for you autonomously?

@bertlef_ @Gregorein Quite ironic...aren't you on a sabbatical?

@BullStern @Gregorein Better solution is spend less time on X responding to people whose critical thinking is going disproportionately to the number of used tokens.

@LaDolceVita_99 @DirtyHamasnik @Gregorein So like your reply history?

@BullStern @DirtyHamasnik @Gregorein About as productive as your reply to Greg.

@glompix @Gregorein Yeah, I agree Gregorein had a really good point on that!

@BullStern @Gregorein it’s an important lesson in temperance and conscientiousness when doing AI-assisted development

@evilmastermind_ @DirtyHamasnik @Gregorein Also praying for you and whatever you may be dealing with my friend... you're way too triggered in this thread to not be.

@evilmastermind_ @DirtyHamasnik @Gregorein When did I say gregorein wasn't right? The point was that he could have used the hour vetting to instead build -- but I understand his perspective after the reply he gave. Also can you teach me D&D?

Huge.

@Jason Building AI or building with AI?

Anyone know how to remote start the gateway? Lenny hanging while i'm away from my mac mini is my new least favorite thing.

@osf_rekt Would love to chat re: Perkalate.com

one of the coolest feelings in the world is seeing your product go live. will never get old for me.

@Jason There shouldn't be a severance package when the expectation is to win.

Executives who want severance packages are worthless and weak — the biggest red flag in hiring. 🚩

@DirtyHamasnik @Gregorein Productive comment.

@BullStern @Gregorein you're an idiot

@Gregorein Fair, but come back with a better solution. Man in the arena.

this audit took an hour with HAR + Claude. the point was: the president of YC is loudly telling junior devs that LOC and shipping streaks are the only metrics that matter, while his own flagship site is a 6.42 MB, 169‑request demo of why that’s a bad idea. if nobody pushes back with concrete receipts, that message becomes the norm.

@Gregorein Like what was the point of this? To just shade the guy? Doesn't seem like a productive use of your time as you seem intelligent (not meant as sarcasm.)

@Gregorein Regardless of what you think of his product, you should have spent this time building something yourself.
