@georgecurtiss Listen the real reason for early stage reject is personal. “Too early” is an excuse. Do you wanna a feedback on your personality? Like real?

The GOOD path: 1. Make a model smart enough to hack 2. Release and let everyone get hacked 3. Fix vulnerabilities until unhackable The LIKELY path: 1. Make a model smart enough to hack 2. Ban or cripple the model so it can't hack 3. Get hacked by China w/uncrippled models

@yacineMTB @jsuarez I don’t underage you guys. I do miracles with LLMs. Also, what could be more boring and zero-dopamine than typing code and tests manually, checking logs, and all this stuff? It could be fun if you are like 17 and just discovered programming.

I can relate to this. These LLMs are really great at speeding up prototyping but they are so awfully bad at programming that it sucks out all of the joy..
Joseph Suarez 🐡@jsuarez

@KamStaszewski No. I was using it to prototype stuff and then thought I'd clean it up by hand, but some of the stuff that crept in was so moronically bad that it took a whole day of semi-automated bullshitting to get it to normal messy code that I can now manually clean up.

@yashhq_22 You need to be a buyer once who thought that you better build something in-house instead of buying. If you are not in this position, meet somebody who is.

@Hal_Wayland @ThePrimeagen Probably. But I’ve been in the industry for 17 years, and everybody around me kind of sucks. It’s not what the Internet tells you.

@denbvk @ThePrimeagen Seems like you need to find more creative and productive friends then. The friends you have now are clearly not capable to do anything unless it's playing with toys - what could be easier than giving a vague description of some project to an LLM and watch it produce something?

@Hal_Wayland @ThePrimeagen I’ve seen friends building some pretty useless pet projects with LLMs. Before, they did not build anything. I guess this is progress.

Good question. I've seen a lot of genuinely impressive things being build over the years without the LLMs. Those people are still making impressive things and they are usually still not using the LLMs, even now. On the other hand, I can't think of a single impressive useful project someone made with heavy use of LLMs. I might be forgetting something but I can't think of anything. Personally, I actually do use them for work. I use DeepSeek V4 Flash or something that's similarly fast, I check all the output and confirm I would write that, the usual "use the LLM as a faster way to write code" kind of approach. I'm building internal tooling using web dev tools for EV charger support, just for context. Nothing "impressive" either though.

@Hal_Wayland @ThePrimeagen Have you seen lots of people producing anything useful without it? I mean outside of a bunch of famous projects. Like your friend suddenly building something truly amazing outside of their work?

Typical coding day with Claude (Opus 4.8) - explain to Claude the task (5 minutes) - Claude implements task (10 minutes) me: "Why is this necessary?" Claude: "You're right to push back! I over-engineered this!" - Repeat x87 times (13 hours)

@schteppe Having QA to write tests is anti-pattern. QA has to force everybody else to lift their quality bar.

QA is on vacation. As a result, devs write more automated tests than ever before, to make sure their code works… Is having a QA team an antipattern?

As a developer you have to ask yourself "If anyone can produce code what am I going to do that will separate me from everyone else?" I have some thoughts on this but would love to hear yours? 👇🏻
