Leaving Tech

I love connecting with people in: - Software Engineering / Tech / AI / Startups - Investing / Trading / Finance - Health / Fitness / Longevity Note: I connect with others by genuinely engaging.

@Scobleizer Let's see. I hope they can truly surprise us.

Tomorrow Apple will announce the new Siri, finally. I used to be more excited by what Apple was about to launch. I get more excited now by enterpreneurs who are trying to bring us better tools. Particularly in developer tools, which is incredibly crowded, with 1,800 companies alone: x.com/i/lists/170569… While we'll all use the new Siri to find a place to eat nearby, or figure out where we parked our car, I seriously doubt anyone will use it to build new AI infrastructure at their businesses, or switch from coding with OpenAI or Anthropic to using it. At best it might set that up for future work. Google's model underneath thew new Siri will bring new multi-modality features that will be needed. But I don't expect it to take the energy away from people like Prasanna Sankar, @myprasanna, who I interview here about his new "smartest software engineer" system: vorflux.com This video is a deep dive into the next generation of AI-powered software development, centered on a conversation with Prasanna, founder of Vorflux and previously a founder of Rippling. The discussion explains why AI coding tools are moving beyond simple “vibe coding” and autocomplete toward more powerful cloud-based agent systems that can plan, build, test, review, and ship software with far less human micromanagement. I learned long ago to watch the developers for the real innovation. That said, sure hope Apple pulls something out that excites us, I just don't expect it. Do you? You will learn more about the future of software development by watching this, I expect, than WWDC tomorrow. But I'll be watching hoping I'm wrong.

@Gavel_on_X Yes, we are.

Jensen Huang: "Everything is in short supply because demand is so high." Are we in an AI bubble?

@jahirsheikh8 Opus 4.8 is a bit sloppy

Which AI model is actually the best at coding right now?

@ForgeWithJeremy Systems > Goals

Did you know ~8% of people accomplish the goals they set? It’s usually not the difficulty. It’s that most folks don’t have a system to inch towards their goal, so they get derailed. When you have a system, you move the needle daily. No system? Build one. Need help? Ask.

@ben__investing It's a cool one!

I’ve decided to update the profile picture 🐶 The old one felt a bit too serious and corporate. The aim of this account has always been the same: talk markets, share ideas, learn together, and have a laugh along the way 😅 Nothing else is changing. I know this isn’t a big deal but just giving you a heads up in case you’re thinking “who’s this?” 😂

@vineerpasam I like startups. But not every startup. I'd be picky.

Who would you rather work for? Startup or MNC?

@forgebitz We have more software than ever but quality hasn't increased, imho.

have the apps become better? i haven't really noticed better software maybe it's not a distribution problem

@Tech_girlll Seems everyone is moving to Codex these days! I'm still on Claude mainly.

I’m a Claude user and Claude is amazing. Give me one reason why I should switch to Codex.

@neerajjj6785 Community

Pitch me your company in 1 word

@BuildurBrand_io I agree. Start building now.

The most valuable people to the market over the next decade will be: - distribution experts - growth hackers - sales/BD teams - agentic AI "managers" - domain experts + AI (doctors, lawyers, accountants) - blue-collar workers (esp. electricians for datacenter needs) - cybersecurity specialists (AI threat layer) So much untapped opportunity sitting under people's noses. Now is the time to build.

@pcshipp 283 active users in just 7 days is great. Congrats!

My first app failed My second app failed too This is my third app's stats after 7 days in production - $0 MRR - $0 revenue - 283 active users

@GrahamCompton Congratulations mate!

I hit 300 Verified Followers early today whilst on the road. Milestones are coming thick and fast. I'm humbled 🙏 thank you to all my new followers.

@gdb AI teammate sounds way better than AI will replace you.

Codex use-cases: “From software engineering and design to data analysis and operations, Codex is becoming an AI teammate instead of just an AI assistant.”

@Dev_code_04 Amazing! Congrats! 🚀

Huraaahhhhh we made it 🥳🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you everyone to support and your love ❤️ Keep pushing keep engaging and grow together 🫶🫶🤝

@steipete From Prompt Engineer to Loop Engineer. Amazing AI title upgrade.

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

@alex_lrz_nmv Exactly, it's really hard for us 😭

@leaving_tech Yeh same! I think when we have a background in coding, everything tech-related is easy! But it's definitely not true for marketing 😭

Founders, what's the best skill you'd recommend learning this year? - sales - copywriting - coding - AI prompting

@MoInvestingHQ Thank you so much, Mo!

@leaving_tech Awesome stuff 🙌 Congrats!!!

Weekly X recap Solid week 🙂 we’ve crossed 1.1k verified and continue to grow Appreciate all the support from everyone ❤️

@GrahamCompton That's great, really nice. I'll read it in detail in a bit. My new FIRE term is, I want to be "work optional"

@leaving_tech x.com/GrahamCompton/…

1,000 followers, in under a month. The number's a nice milestone. But what I actually value is the few hundred of you who show up and engage every single day. That's the part that matters here. Thank you for it.

@JeremieWorks Thank you Jeremie!

@leaving_tech Huge growth, congrats

@alexkaybuilds Thank you! You're almost there. But as you said, what matters is the community and our conversations!

@leaving_tech Congrats!!! Maybe I’ll get there a month from now. 😂 I stalled at 900 but that’s ok. The community here is awesome and my feed is full of great people.
