Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone. Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation. "I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody. It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code." --- From @theallinpod YT channel (link in comment)

@cvpayne Just got back from shopping at Costco, there's an inflation spike. Gas approaching $4.50 a gallon, diesel now over $5.00 a gallon. My electric bill went up 20% month on month. There's an inflation spike. Spinners spinning BS contrary to what's going in real world is irritating.






🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 BREAKING: Trump throws Israel under the bus for the South Pars strike Hours ago, U.S. officials told reporters Trump knew about Israel's strike on South Pars in advance and supported it. Now Trump is on Truth Social saying the U.S. "knew nothing about this particular attack" and that Israel "violently lashed out" at the gas field "out of anger." He then threatened to "massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field" if Iran hits Qatar's LNG again, while simultaneously saying he doesn't want to authorize that level of destruction.











I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.
