For the engineer in all of us

I think attention is broken at the transformer level. The models consistently focus on the wrong things.

If i was retard maxxing maybe I would enjoy vibe coding more

AI has made me hate coding more than I already did

Claude is the most unlikable of all the models

Hackathons are overrated dont @ me

@nikunj docs.pre.dev/api-mcp/overvi…

Every time I see a tweet saying “I can vibe code this in a weekend” - I think of the slack notification system.. It takes time, persistence and effort to get the details right. Sure, a lot of simple workflows will get vibe coded away. And maybe you can put this in Claude Code and get the code right in one shot. But quality, depth and great systems will still have value and take time. You can’t vibe code lessons. Now and forever.

AI coding agents are decent at solving individual tasks, but struggle with full system architecture decisions, multi file/repo requirements

Claude or any other LLM, feels no remorse for fucking you over, lying, or wasting your time

Are PMs or engineers getting automated out first idk

@weswinder Does anyone actually have recurring revenue

@adampredev also mediocre for now

I don't listen to the opinions of the paid X influencers gassing up Claude/Cursor with 5 mediocre SAAS apps and their ARR in the bio

@weswinder Yea can’t brute force it apparently

@adampredev hot take but the best engineers aren’t usually good product people

How is Google so mediocre at everything AI, despite getting a 10 year head start, having the best distribution out of the box, best engineers, etc Every time someone asks me "what if x builds this," I just think to myself - well maybe they would have built it already if they could

hot take you're not a founder unless you do crack distribution

@weswinder no arr in the bio tho so ur straight

@adampredev cursor is still great even though i have 2 mediocre saas apps

Is raising big the right choice if the big valuation is the reason the company fails? I think people are overly enamored with spot pricing for startups, even if it leads to death

Coke vs crack prices

The traditional by-the-book engineer that bitches about coding standards and documentation is dying

It also adds 10 hours of slop traversal

Annoying Claude patterns I've seen the last day: 1. hiding type errors and memory leaks with dynamic imports 2. instead of await it did a fire and forget and poll... this one got me extra tilted

If there there are any nonzero setup steps, you have lost 99 percent of the TAM
