Backdating books is going to become a huge industry If you see two books seemingly AI generated but one say 2020 and the other says 2025 you are going to be tempted to buy 2020 one

Developers be like, oh, let me name my thing to maximize the confusion for everyone: - Svelte - Vite - Zustand - Mise - Nginx - Deno - GIF

It's hard to reconcile that LLMs are finally giving us Star Trek voice-activated computer and the fact that it didn't change our lives much day to day

flat config!

LLM limits are literally never a problem for me. My limiting function is the number of simple tasks I can delegate to LLMs and the amount of time I have to spend on writing prompts and babysitting agents into doing the right thing. It's never the amount of credits

UI design is my passion

What do y'all think about JSR?

Basically it boils down to: do you think what programmers do has more in common with scribes or farmers? Scribes existed for many centuries and were completely replaced by printing press Farmers have existed for thousands of years and are going to exist maybe forever?

sometimes I scream "Effect" loudly at my monitor for no reason

pro tip: since GPT-5 is very good at gaslighting, if you are stuck with code it generated not working, start a new chat and say "hey, I wrote this code, but it doesn't work" and it will happily jump in and fix it :D

Let's start hype-coding

My biggest prediction miss in JS world is that I didn't think we'll still be using eslint and prettier in 2025

wait a goddamn minute!

If you are writing something like Spring Boot Java and wondering if you are going to be left behind by all the *productive* people who use AI... how didn't you even notice that you were already left behind by people using Rails for 2 decades now!

that's the whole lift-html/core btw

We have been all enjoying the huge boost to productivity because of AI right? I'm just waiting for the right time to start talking about 4 day work week

You might be migrating from React to Svelte and Solid, but someone out there didn't even try react-query yet

During a slop rush, sell troughs

One way to explain AI's lack of skill and intuition about building software is to imagine a person who reads every programming book but never sees a computer.

I don't vibe code for the same reason I don't use voice input. I can't do the thing that I want much more exactly if I can use special characters and stuff

You might think you are cringe, but you are never going to be as cringe as Dallas Fort Worth airport using 10ft tall AI generated images

It's a bit hard for me to lead projects. I work best when someone comes in and tells me exactly what to do, so I can tell them that they are wrong and I can come up with a better plan in 5 minutes

Sigh... Another smaller YT channel is doing AI generated thumbnails now...

I hear a lot of people struggling to define "unit" in a unit test. It's very straightforward. If you can't run tests for the whole project under a second your unit is too big.

Breaking news: senior developers are upset that AI doesn't help them with the parts that they actually hate - code reviews, testing and talking to other people

I want you to break up your huge monolithic yap into hundreds of tiny mini yaps

Tell a fantasy story in 5 words or less: We fixed the last bug

I just updated CI and it worked on the first try

GPT-3 was released 5 years ago. Have you stopped writing CRUD apps yet?

The thing is crazy

Make sure to show this to anyone who says "yeah, but at least my jquery app is going to work forever". Will it, though? Are you sure?

Vibe coding in 20s vs microwaving "food" in 50s

End of programming jobs? That happens to me every day at 5pm. If you are in SF working for FAANG then it's more likely 2pm

The difference between using a framework and using AI slop is this: AI was trained on everything that you might need, but none of the real bugs, frameworks encode both all the use cases and all the bugs that were addressed

what keeping people hostage taught me about b2b saas sales

oh no, I don't think they joked when they said that a lot of code in Microsoft is written by AI now, this is from dotnet repo 💀

AI can't do everything, a lot of you AI maximalists out there would have to choose soon. Is it good at generating spam or detecting it? Is it good at high level tasks or low level ones? Is it good at creativity or following orders?

Who would win

Why do you think you are running JavaScript in production? For every couple of lines of JavaScript with your crud and your orm you are running million of lines of Linux, Kubernetes, AWS, V8, etc

Do you think people who are saying that AI will replace jobs ever heard about pumping gas in Oregon?

If AI can speed your work up 100x, it just tells me that you are working in a boilerplate-prone environment

if management were smart, their argument would have been: you need to return to the office because there's no other way for us to verify that you are still human

I feel seen
