Sex was eaten by AI

@kenwheeler the peak is in

sell everything

@chkn_little not that hard if you try and shop at discount stores

@aarondotdev bro how do u consume 200g protein daily

i stopped scrolling (uninstalled X), taking zinc, 8g creatine, vitamin d, and 200g protein daily + lifting focus and energy levels have become much better. who would’ve thought

@jdr441310 mort

@aarondotdev Mortgage or all cash?

just bought my first house at 25. $1m in san diego. feeling incredibly blessed, and it's all because i chose the path of SWE when i was 19. AMA

@acethecrow3 when you can afford the monthly without being broke it’s an option. comes out to about half our income, but with our lifestyle it’s the right choice. i know others that don’t have 4 dogs and if i was in that position i’d just buy a condo for way less lol

@aarondotdev How much did you put down? This might be a bit intrusive but I became big tech swe at 20 and i have some money saved as well, can’t decide when’s the right time to get into housng

@fordoglunk depends what for. some people like being in the city, others further out, some in between. i’m not close to any city life lol

@aarondotdev What's the best neighborhood in San diego

@AbhinavJha241 i’ve posts on this but it’s mostly hype drummed up by the people with direct investments in ppl believing this lol

@aarondotdev So what's your opinion on the fear mongering happening on twitter on the positions related to swe being vanished into thin air in the upcoming future?

@nbetweenit0 when it eats my d

@aarondotdev When does software get eaten by AI?

@psswordprotectd that should always be the goal with everything :)

@aarondotdev so the goal is just constant purposeful upskilling

@erhohu for other people? probably, there’s a lot more jobs there

@aarondotdev If you would start today. Would you move to SF?

@jake_researcher i have not but i will now, thanks

@aarondotdev Have you tried pinning specific versions in your config? That's saved me from many update headaches. Though I admit it's annoying to need that level of config for a desktop app.

omarchy feels really nice but i highly recommend NOT updating. every time i update some other stuff breaks and now my waybar dies every day, recording/screenshot feature breaks, random little bugs but pretty annoying to deal with when i just want to get work done.

@crownobyl i rlly just don’t have the time rn 😭

@aarondotdev nix fixes this

@hzapperz lots of apps also need to have 4-7 9s of availability- AWS, turbotax, etc. this is part of the reason github is rolling back AI coding mandates, they are down to a single 9 (92.xx%) uptime

@aarondotdev I haven’t opened cursor in a few months… Albeit it’s not a very large buisness, it’s a web app for a service so not a lot goes into it. Your sentiment holds true for things of proper scale.

yeah let me just trust opus 4.6 with auto-accept. it's not like it's CONSTANTLY still hallucinating. LLMs produce syntactically correct looking code. they do NOT understand the code. that is fundamentally how they work. if you think otherwise, you likely have LLM psychosis.

@Jonathan_Blow preach my king

Theory: We don't let LLMs control robots and operate freely in the physical world (yet?) because they'd fall all the time, break everything, and cause massive damage. But in software the falling and the massive damage are invisible, so it's fine. x.com/sama/status/20…

@hzapperz exactly- little tweaks here and there. but the big names are all saying you don't need to read the code and you can automate generation + PR reviews. add those all together and you can't even fake stability at scale

@aarondotdev Idk, my generated code still needs tweaks here and there but it’s working and generating rev so
