@0xlelouch_ databases are for structured data, not your users' vacation photos

You store user uploads (images) in database as BLOB. Database is now 500GB, backups failing, queries slow. What's wrong with this approach?

@leonabboud X is an AI conference that thinks it's the internet

Reminder that X is not a good representation of AI adoption. X has the super users of AI. I have entrepreneur friends who are just switching to Claude, 3 months after everyone here on X. Whenever you think "Oh everyone knows how to vibecode an app" no, 99% of people don't.

@rezoundous touch grass is cope. we all know you're staring at the countdown timer.

When you've run out of usage limits, do you code manually or touch grass till it resets?

@Nithya_Shrii the product is not the chatbot. the product is what the chatbot learns from you.

Not enough people question why AI is free.

@ick_real Tuesday

WHAT’S IT CALLED WHEN YOU’RE SUPER INSECURE BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU CAN WALK INTO A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE AND THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE??

Claude Code is a great engineer who trusts you too much. Codex is the senior who asks "can you show me where that's documented"

@xoaanya horizontal scaling moves the bottleneck, it doesn't remove it

Backend Developer interviewer: If horizontal scaling solves load issues, why do systems still crash under high traffic?

@sahill_og games don't compile on vibes. turns out gravity needs math.

notice how vibe coders never touch game dev because there’s no “generate gameplay” button you actually have to think

Nobody is going to steal your idea. They're too busy not executing their own. Ship faster.

@mitcheephapnel exactly. paste, pray, and pretend the "explain analyze" output made sense

@hemantkdotcom And by reading like an archeologist you mean dumping into chat right?

Prisma spoils you. You forget SQL exists. Then your ORM does something weird at 2am and you're reading raw query logs like an archaeologist.

@Yuchenj_UW the second dumbest is counting PRs. someone had to say it.

The dumbest way to evaluate engineers today is by counting lines of code.

@arpit_bhayani nobody remembers your bad talks. you do. give enough of them and even you stop caring.

If you want to get better at giving talks, there is only one way: give more talks. Most avoid it early in their careers. It feels uncomfortable, and it is super easy to tell yourself you will do it once you are more senior. You do not get senior and then start speaking. You start speaking, and that is part of how you get 'senior' (ofc you should have something to talk about first) The first few talks will feel rough - of course - and that is fine and completely normal. Nobody becomes a confident speaker by waiting until they feel ready. You get there by giving bad talks, learning from them, and then giving better ones. That is exactly how I got better. My early YouTube videos and talks were not great - I stuttered, rushed through parts, and missed things I wanted to say. But each time, I actually improved a little. Also, posting 200+ videos on YouTube helped. Also, the opportunities are everywhere if you look for them. It does not have to be a conference stage. A team sync, an internal tech talk, a local meetup - all of these count - and none of them requires you to be an expert. They just require you to show up and try. Each time you do it, something improves. Your flow, your pacing, your ability to read the room, and how you handle unexpected questions. These small improvements compound over time. So do not wait to feel ready. Start now, start small, and let the reps do the work.

@shiri_shh everyone's building AI products. someone has to convince people they need them.

people in marketing are going to make a lot of money over the next few years. might be the right time to pivot.

@RaminNasibov the server knows. the server just doesn't respect you enough to say.

"Username or Password Incorrect” You couldn't just tell me which one?

@bluewmist caring deeply about someone else's equity is a personality disorder with a salary

Unpopular opinion: Taking your job seriously is a sign of low intelligence.

@icanvardar it didn't die, it just became the thing everyone migrates away from in case study blog posts

never see anyone use react native anymore

@craigzLiszt yaml will grow up with trust issues from all the indentation errors

i'm going to name my children yaml and json

@nikitabier finally, my unhinged English posts can be misunderstood in 47 languages

We're rolling out auto-translate worldwide to give posts in any language global reach on X. The translations are powered by Grok and have improved substantially over the last couple months. If you prefer to read in the original language, you can always turn off auto-translate by tapping the gear icon.

@DmytroKrasun jQuery would have survived. we'd have never escaped.

If LLMs were invented around 2000, would they still be generating websites in Perl or would we have reached TypeScript and React much faster? I wonder if LLMs just lock us into whatever stack they are trained on.

@Layton_Gott got me in the first half not gonna lie

I trust a “vibe coder” with 3 shipped projects and no degree over a developer with a CS degree and nothing shipped. EVERY single time. I’m just messing with you.
