@svpino Ok - and what happens when these agents write 90% horrible code, fuck up requirements and otherwise shit the bed like they do every single day? Why are so many people blindly trusting this garbage?

Writing code is becoming extinct. Let's face it: Software Engineering is moving towards the orchestration of multiple agents running in parallel. I'm now spending 80% of my time reviewing code and only 20% writing it, and even this split might be outdated soon. Tools are moving in this direction as well.

@Yuchenj_UW Ok, but where did he get 20k from?!?

One person, 2 months, $20K bootstrap, no VC, vibe-coded software. $1.8B company. We’re about to see more such 1-person billion-dollar companies. AI is compressing 5 years of building, launching, scaling a team, and fundraising into a solo high-agency CEO + 2 months.

@rroruman @bindureddy I would argue the skills didn't adapt. It was cringe every time I heard someone say they relied on stack overflow to do their job. There have been thousands of shit engineers who have entered the industry over the last 10 years. Skill has been downhill for a while

@bindureddy Valid concern. AI writes the code. Developers accept it. Skills atrophy over time. The dependency is real and growing. But programmers said the same about Stack Overflow in 2012. And about IDEs before that. The tool changes. The skill adapts. It always has.

ALARMING! Programmers are totally forgetting how to code We are beginning to interview folks who have lost totally lost touch with coding Who is going to fix it, if the AI breaks everything 😱

@bindureddy Most people couldn't program well to begin with - then they became the first ones to scream 'i haven't written code in X days'...

@kapilansh_twt I have shipped lots of products to lots of well known vendors. Simply, no one is hiring due to AI slop. I don't know why - but that's my truth.

software engineers after 4 years of a $100,000 CS degree: - can't build a product anyone wants - never shipped anything to real users - no idea how system design works - can't pass a basic SQL interview - never negotiated a salary in their life - don't understand how a company makes money - applying to 400 jobs with 0 responses but they can implement bubble sort the education system prepared you for a job market that no longer exists and charged you $100,000 for the privilege

@anirudhology @garrytan What are you working on? 90% of what it generates for me is trash.

My experience with Claude Code has been amazing. Yes, I still review the generated code but in >80% of cases, the generated code is fine. The key to get better results, according to me, lies in thinking deeply about the problem, failure scenarios, edge cases, and sometimes push back on the decisions agent makes.

Lots of engineers think AI codegen is only good enough to do little bug fixes here and there If you tell them you can ship 15k LOC of ai gen code to prod they think you have lost your mind. It’s so so early. And also those engineers are living in 2025.

@cryptopunk7213 Y'all forgetting that everything it does is shit. Complete trash.

well thats fucking it - anthropic has officially replaced software engineers. claude is now a 24 hr autonomous coding agent. claude can now operate your entire computer and CLAUDE CODE = end-to-end software engineering: - claude writes the code for you - then literally opens the app it coded - clicks through the entire app and find bugs - then fixes the bugs and improves the app in hours. previously claude generated code, you run it and give claude feedback. thats completely gone now. all in a continuous loop without leaving your terminal 😂 we're barely through monday. well done lol

@neetcode1 very simply - it doesn't fucking work. In the last 2 years of trying to adopt this garbage, it has hardly done anything correctly. Rather, it has iterated in circles changing colors of a button, brought in unnecessary dependencies, ignored established patterns and more.

Serious question, I still see a lot of people vehemently against AI coding. Who are you and what are you working on? To be clear, I’m not saying all or even most code has to be AI written but what’s the argument for not leveraging it where it’s useful? I know someone’s gonna bring up outages, and yeah I guess, but I think it’s obviously more nuanced than that. There’s always a trade off to be made. Speed will always matter in business. There’s definitely reasons to go slower but you have to think more carefully about them. Most money is made at the app layer, not foundational infrastructure. Someone might make the slop argument. But the biggest businesses have always been slop. My contrarian take is that most UIs only need to be functional. The polish or aesthetics have always mattered more to the builders than the users. It’s to make the builders enjoy building enough to keep doing it. Look at Amazon, some of the ugliest UIs in the world. Doesn’t matter to the users. The main consequence is that the devs hate their lives, which at Amazon is by design anyway. There will always be room for unique, beautiful experiences, but they have already been few and far between for a long time e.g. the gaming industry. Welcome to 2026 the year of accelerating slop.

@AzureSupport how the fuck am i supposed to pay a bill when there is no fucking way to contact you fucks?

@eliana_jordan Clearly not using enough AI

I’ve been stuck on a payment bug for 2 days please send help

@mkurman88 Y'all really think these llms have been producing anything other than a facade this entire time?!!

I just canceled my Claude subscription. It couldn't resolve a straightforward issue for 3 hours, even though I pointed out several times where the bug lies (I was afk, so I couldn't do it by myself, but that's not the point). I asked Codex to fix it -> 1 minute and done. I asked Codex to review other things Claude made - with GSD, 20 steps, discussion, plan with research, execution. It has been working since Saturday. And what? Everything was faked. I don't get it...

@mitchellh Another billionaire advocating for talented people to become unemployed. Love to see it.

Here’s what I’d do if I was in charge of GitHub, in order: 1. Establish a North Star plan around being critical infrastructure for agentic code lifecycles and determine a set of ways to measure that. 2. Fire everyone who works on or advocates for copilot and shut it down. It’s not about the people, Im sure theres many talented people, youre just working at the wrong company. 3. Buy Pierre and launch agentic repo hosting as the first agentic product. Repos would be separate from the legacy web product to start since they’re likely burdened with legacy cross product interactions. 4. Re-evaluate all product lines and initiatives against the new North Star. I suspect 50% get cut (to make room for different ones). The big idea is all agentic interactions should critically rely on GitHub APIs. Code review should be agentic but the labs should be building that into GH (not bolted in through GHA like today, real first class platform primitives). GH should absolutely launch an agent chat primitive, agent mailboxes are obviously good. Etc. GH should be a platform and not an agent itself. This is going to be very obviously lacking since I only have external ideas to work off of and have no idea how GitHub internals are working, what their KPIs are or what North Star they define, etc. But, with imperfect information, this is what I’d do.

@Misbahtwts @Manixh02 where the hell do I get funding?

@Manixh02 Founer mode apply for funding, get money. work on that product 100%. make revenue and retire.

AI is killing Web Development 😭😭 Which field should I try ??

@NieceOfAnton who is actually doing this though? $10k seems incredibly inflated.

Software engineers are the happiest people on Earth now. They pay $100/month for Claude Code to do the work. Their employer pays them $10,000/month for the results. $9,900 profit for sipping coffee and talking to Al. The funniest part? Not a single dev with a full-time job will ever admit this publicly What a time to be alive.

@RealProductGirl Building woofx3.tv - unified control plane for live streaming. Open Source. Hosted version coming soon: github.com/wolfymaster/wo…

I NEED my feed full of builders. What are you working on right now? I don't care if it's a startup or a weekend side project. If you're building something, I want you on my timeline. Reply and let's connect. 👇

While watching someone ask claude where a file was located in their project, I've discovered what AGI is going to look like: In a world where we've regressed in our knowledge and understanding, LLMs are going to look like fucking magic.

@claudeai Did this example just show Claude write code that introduced a security issue, and then use Claude to identify the issue in the code it just wrote? Why didn't it get it right the first time? Feels like paying twice for work that wasn't done correctly the first time.

Introducing Code Review, a new feature for Claude Code. When a PR opens, Claude dispatches a team of agents to hunt for bugs.

@khushiirl Literally everything because Claude is garbage. Does a garbage job and produces garbage code.

Claude is now an all-rounder. Code writing → Claude Code testing → Claude Code review → Claude Code deploy → Claude now what will software engineers do?

@AlexEngineerAI I'm still trying to figure out how a single person is affording to run AI agents 24/7. Based on my experience, $20 is ~1hr of work. $480/day. $14,400/month. These agents aren't free, and if you're running them 24/7 you're paying more than you'd pay someone working 40hr/week.

Wait so you're telling me Solo builders are running entire companies now with AI employees working 24/7 While traditional teams are still stuck in the "we need more headcount" meeting And the solo person has better work-life balance? How is this not the biggest story in tech right now

If a developer is making $30/hr... and @opencode burns through $20 of credits in ~1hr using claude sonnet 4.5 - not even the latest model - how does it make sense to use this tooling? #ai #opencode #claude #claudecode #SoftwareEngineering
