@SumitM_X He didn’t know that if he was coding manually. The problem isn’t the Ai. In fact, the Ai would very likely have brought up such issues if you provided context on what your goal was.

I saw a junior developer create a microservice using ChatGPT in 30 seconds. I asked one question: What happens to the data if the other service is down for 10 minutes? He didnt know. The AI didnt explain backpressure. It didnt explain idempotency. It didnt explain dead letter queues. Writing code is easy now. But Engineering is still hard.

@JCeacc @Liamjsm Mac came before Windows.

@Liamjsm Why did they write Linux and Mac OS if Windows and Unix already existed?

Lotta people using Claude to build software that already exists

@Aivars_Meijers I’m seeing over 7 days. New version of one app is at 6 days and counting

Stop submitting all the vibe-coded apps, Apple review team can't handle them anymore 4 days in a line for initial review

@joseph_h_garvin It may be a hot take but I think if you have Claude working more than 15 minutes at a time then you’re doing it wrong. Break up your tasks into understandable chunks and iterate.

Claude code rarely runs for longer than 15m without stopping and asking for input from me. How do all these stories of people letting agents run overnight work? Custom harnesses? Yelling at Claude in all caps to keep going no matter what?

@BelowArmory @Motivemodee 19 is not a child. We need to reverse this trend of infantilizing adults.

@Motivemodee Nahh. Im 38. I have nothing in common with a 19 year old. And I think that’s a good thing. I think it’s weird to sexualize basically a child.

@CincyDan11 @mcuban I do. My first computer use was a DECwriter connected by acoustic modem to a VAX at the local university. Good times.

@mcuban This is a DECwriter. It had NO screen. It was used to create punch cards to feed into mainframes. There was NO backspace. NO cursor. If you made a mistake in your program, you had to retype the WHOLE program. You have no idea.....

I’m going to tell you how much worse it was at the start of the PC Revolution for white collar workers trying to adapt, vs today with AI Today, presumably every white collar worker has access to a smart phone and/or a PC/laptop. Back then, a PC cost $4,995 , an off brand was $3,995. 5k in 1984 is about $16k today. It was really expensive. The only reason I could learn how to code and support software is because my job let me take home a PC to learn. By reading the software manual. Literally. RTFM. Or pay to go to training. Classes that started at hundreds of dollars then. It was expensive. It absolutely limited who could get ahead. Today, ANYONE can go to their browser, to the AI LLM website of their choice, and type in the words “I’m a novice with zero computer background, teach me how to create an agent that reads my email and …” That concept applies to LEARNING ANYTHING Think about what this means. Any employee of any company can say “ I need to learn how to xyz for my job , which is to do the following: Tell me what more information do you need to help me be more efficient, productive and promotable”. Or “ what new skills can you teach me that will help me reduce my chances of getting laid off “. Or “what suggestions do you have for me to communicate to my boss, who I barely know, to help my chances of staying employed “ These aren’t great prompts. But they are a start that anyone can take. Think about how incredible that is. Back in the day was so much harder for white collar workers. It was harder for new grads because unless they took comp sci, they probably had never used a PC. Big Companies are going to cut jobs. No question about it. Small companies is are going to need more and more AI literate thinkers who can help them compete or get an edge What I tell every entrepreneur, and it’s more crucial today. “ when you run with the elephants there are the quick and the dead. Adopt tech quickly , you can out maneuver big companies. “

@PCSoonersFan You can hit the urgent care and then the pharmacy and have an antibiotic in at most a couple of hours. This is true across the country.

I'm curious to know how it works in other countries, so if you are in one (besides USA) comment below: Here, you can buy over the counter ibuprofen at really any store and you can over-consume it up to 3200+ mg a day... effectively you can severely damage organs if used more than that. Doctors here have been sounding the alarm for years that ibuprofen is dangerous. But yet I can't go buy a single antibiotic over the counter without a prescription by a doctor, which would solve 95% of the pain I am in. So I would need to schedule an appointment, wait possibly 2-3 weeks, talk to the doctor, pay my co-pay, get the prescription, wait at a pharmacy for 2-3 hours, pay another co-pay.....and then FINALLY I could start self treating the issue to begin with. All while still taking those ibuprofen pills for those 2-3 weeks. Make it make sense. How does your country do it?

@wil_da_beast630 The odds of a woman slapping me without me blocking it are pretty low. I can’t imagine I’d ever call the cops unless she was psychotic and a danger to others.

Agree or disagree?

@nickash_fm @nitzukai The Thunderbolt variant of USB-C does network. It the basis for clustering Macs for Ai.

@nitzukai USB-C can currently handle -Audio -Video -Power Delivery -Data Transfer The only way USB-C can get better is if it starts handling network traffic and if that happens there will be no greater port

is USB-C the final evolution of ports or is there any possible design that could replace it in the future before we go fully wireless

@morrisinlife @everton_dev Forgotten? It was updated this week.

@everton_dev Even still, Swift Playgrounds is not good and it feels like it has been forgotten about.

That’s what Swift Playgrounds on iPad is all about. There is where real exploratory development happens, not on vibe coding slop machines.

@JackCrabb1776 @Devon_Eriksen_ Whatever your views, his point is valid. They are too complex for us to model.

@Devon_Eriksen_ "But human bodies are evolved, not designed by engineers." The idea that random mutations could design the complexity of our bodies and all the living things on Earth is absurd. The mathematical permutations are nearly incalculable. And ireducibility isn't just a fancy word.

We can model organic chemistry and drug interactions rather well in simulation. It's computationally intense, but the physics is understood. However, what we don't have, aren't even close to having, is full-system simulations of the human body, or even any of its subsystems. This matters a lot. For engineering challenges, this isn't as important. Human-designed systems tend to be strictly organized because that makes design challenges easier to understand. We encapsulate, we use abstraction layers, we isolate components from each other, especially when their functions are unrelated. But human bodies are evolved, not designed by engineers. Systems that emerge from natural selection don't have to be organized and understandable, they just have to work. So systems are reused and repurposed, signals are multiplexed, components interact and share tasks. Which means that even if we can model drug effects pretty well on a biochemical level, we don't know what else they might do until we test on live subjects. And when we do, we're still limited by the fact that every subject is different, we don't know exactly how, and we can't observe exact effects on any subject at the system level. We can only look at visible results. Could we build better models if we were smarter? Probably yes. But the major limitation here is lack of data, not lack of intelligence, and getting smarter doesn't automatically make you better informed. When we get access to more intelligence, and more capacity to manage large datasets, we might not immediately see concrete results, because the first problems we will have to tackle with that increased intelligence is the problem of how to get better data. In other words, your brain is only as good as your eyes and ears.

@JamesTakesOnAI @weswinder Why do you say that? Other than the prompt blocking while it’s working, I haven’t found anything that differs from using Claude Code directly.

the xcode agent is terrible which is actually the best evidence apple will build a standalone app. they know their IDE-integrated approach isn't cutting it. but knowing apple it'll be a walled garden where you can only deploy to their ecosystem. which is exactly why they're blocking the alternatives first

prediction: apple will release their own vibe coding app for ios it’s the logical next step if they want to control the ecosystem

@jayhastings79 @AnaBellMedia share.google/NlvrDnxHQNnGLR…

@AnaBellMedia What’s the scene tho? Like tornadoes all around and 3 story 1975 buildings or ?

OKC is impressing me so far… Braum’s is fire and Bricktown Brewery 10/10. 🔥

@_julianschiavo @aatilley You can still open XCode, fire up Claude, and vibe code all you like to create a native app.

“I think vibe coding is really compelling and people really want it, and so I hope Apple will notice this and the value it brings and is working on revised guidelines,” said Bitrig CEO Kyle Macomber by @aatilley theinformation.com/newsletters/th…

@PCSoonersFan I’m an Okie and I’ve had it. I don’t care for it. That said, it’s not common.

Noone...and I mean no one...in Oklahoma...has ever had fried rattlesnake.

@jordanxliu @gilgNYC You can push it directly from Xcode with no expiration. But posting a new build to TestFlight takes 5 minutes at most.

@gilgNYC TestFlight builds expire after 90 days

Claude + TestFlight is basically a jailbroken iPhone. You can vibe code custom bespoke iOS apps, even if they would never be approved by Apple.

@TwanLuttik @gilgNYC No review required if you don’t push it to external testers

@gilgNYC They still get reviews tho but yes different, also any version change does also need a review

@lambatameya @gilgNYC Have you tried Paul Hudson’s SwiftUI-pro skill? I’ve had tremendous success with it

@gilgNYC btw if you want a better experience and less problems/errors, read this x.com/lambatameya/st…

@nikitabier New apps are taking a week for me. Reviews of new versions of existing apps are taking 1-2 days. I have 4 apps in process now.

iOS developers: How long is App Review taking for everyone these days? It is now taking longer to get our app approved than it is to build the actual features.

The kryptonite to bureaucracy is high intelligence and "inexperience". When we grow up in systems that cage us, our sensitivity to the absurdity of the bureaucrat weakens. We are like frogs slowly boiling to death. So that by the time you hit every gate on the way up, you're just an obedient slave. Because your success was contingent upon making the system happy. Smart but “inexperienced” people scare the hell out of a bureaucracy not because they’re reckless, but because they’re not conditioned. If you grow up inside a system long enough, you stop seeing it clearly. The delays start to make sense. The process starts to make sense. Even the nonsense starts to feel normal. That’s how it survives. Not by being right, but by being way too familiar. It doesn’t happen all at once. It’s slow. You learn what not to question. You learn what gets rewarded. How to operate inside the lines etc. By the time you’re senior, you’re competent, experienced, and effective but you’ve also adapted to the system you’re supposed to improve. We don't necessarily call it corruption, just conditioning The people who haven’t gone through that process see things differently. They walk in and ask simple questions. Why does this take so long? Why are we doing it this way? Who decided this makes sense? Those questions sound basic, but they’re dangerous. Over time, the system trains those questions out of you. That’s the cost of staying in it. We say we value merit, but we build gates. Step by step, box by box, long enough for people to internalize the system before they’re ever in a position to change it. Most never do. They don’t even realize it. A popular military example is of course George Marshall. Who didn’t follow the clean, predictable path people pretend is required. He was elevated because of clarity, and when he got there, he changed the Army. That’s the difference and the proof because clarity beats conformity. This doesn’t mean outsiders are always right or that experience doesn’t matter. It means something simpler. A system becomes very comfortable with people who understand it, and very uncomfortable with people who can still see it. Over time, it starts protecting itself more than its purpose. That’s when it needs to be challenged. Not by the most experienced, but by the ones who haven’t forgotten what doesn’t make sense. Want to trim down the bureaucracy? Put people in charge at echelon with absolutely toxic levels of common sense. But it takes courage to place those kinds of people. A courage that is in short supply.
