If you need a senior level engineer, you better have 10ish entry level people for them to lead. Otherwise you're hurting their career and screwing your pipeline.

I'm going to put my tin foil hat on for a moment and suggest trump had charlie Kirk killed to help start a war and take our attention away from the birthday card.

How is it that we're in an AI bubble and AI is stealing some large portion of jobs? Shouldn't it be one or the other?

hot take: hitl is a terrible acronym for "human in the loop" for AI agents

Check out opal.withgoogle.com/landing/ pretty stoked to see what people build with it.

One thing is super clear to me... Bringing people who can build AI agents together with people who are domain experts is going to yield some amazing things.

I wrote my first AI agent 2 years ago in c#. No framework, just invoking the vertex API directly. It works great and is still used in production helping people create AppSheet apps today. I think all the frameworks are confusing the conversation.

Sometimes I think where AI helps me the most while programming is what before I lean on the Ballmer Peak for. Like, instead of overthinking something or feeling that moment of "meh", the AI pushes me through it... But the Ballmer Peak is more fun. So now when I'm waiting on the LLM, I take a shot.

Anytime I read about AI agents on #bluesky I think I'm on LinkedIn... Just a bunch of people promoting their content. Where's the "The AI just logged in as me and sent incriminating pictures to my wife" type posts?

Coding with AI is super nice when I'm hitting F-me refactor where it's straightforward but tedious. #software

When I review code, I start by thinking about how I would have written the code. What functions I would have had to touch, what systems are involved, etc. I do the same when I review AI generated code. This means I understand the destination. If I don't... I don' use AI. I'm not ready. #software

AI agents are software We need software engineers.

AI is going to help us apply humanities best patterns in insanely fast ways... But it can do the same with our worst ones too.

I'm interested in companies who are trying to build AI agents to help with a specific non technical task. Anyone working on something interesting?

My son has learned a valuable lesson about phishing scams... He clicked a link from a random person on Roblox and lost his account. Trying to help him through the process of working with Roblox support to get it back, but getting past the AI slop might be impossible.

If your AI agent has access to tools, then I'd assert that it should be using the token from the user invoking it. The user should not be able to manipulate the LLM into anything they couldn't already do. The fact that this is not obvious is a security nightmare.

I still have a hard time when people suggest computer science is no longer a useful degree. What studies led to deep learning, transformers, etc? I can tell pairing with AI is going to help people reapply well understood patterns, but I've yet to see anyone demonstrate it yielding new ones.

So I'm on a new team writing C++. It's been a while... But the built in Gemini tools have made it easy... That being said, occasionally the AI makes such destructive changes and I bump into a bug within the internal IDE's undo feature... And I might as well just reset my workspace... #software #ai

I tell people they should still learn to write code just like I tell my kids they need to learn long division. Perhaps #ai and calculators (both just adding machines...) are quicker, but no one is screaming we should stop learning math...

It's crazy that while we're invading ourselves with marines, the stock market is up... More proof of how disconnected the stock market really is from reality.

An interesting question I've been asking myself and people around me is: what can I "vibe" that isn't just coding? Can we bring this to other parts of our life?

Where is the LA protest coverage from @npr.org? It should be on the page.

So I'm a little worried that now that MAGA hates Elon, they're going to leave X and come here...

I'll admit it... #copilot agent is pretty impressive...

While I don't mind #python for all the AI work I'm doing, I still find that I yearn for #golang...

#vibe coding be like...

Trump may be an expert at blowing things up... But he's even better at getting his cult to believe it's for the best.

I spent the last 4 days chasing down a bug... Traversing 1000s of lines of interleaved cshtml and Typescript... The fix... Adding an html attribute in two lines of html... I'd like to see AI do that! No really... I'd really like to see it do that... #programming #software

Vibe coding is to coding as JavaScript is to java #software #vibecoding

New technology means new opportunities. Don't buy the doom and gloom youtu.be/5MQ6w7X-x9E?...

I bet the best thing we could do for our economy right now is to ditch Trump.

From immigration to federal spending cuts, tariffs, clean energy, and reproductive rights, weekend demonstrators said they are unhappy with many Trump administration policies. via @cinradio.bsky.social

Maybe the worst part of the tariffs... All those boomers who were going to retire are either going to have to stick around or go move in with their kids. This prevents younger people from having opportunities at positions and being able to bring fresh ideas. #economy #tariffs

Maybe these were the eggs Trump was talking about making cheaper

TikTok being sold to Oracle is peek boomer.

I like the assertion that the guy who is not smart enough to not throw up the hitler salute hand gesture, is going to send us to mars.

To all those silicone valley bros who thought they were going to get rich... What happened?

Do people still use stackoverflow? Or do you just ask your favorite AI chat? #coding #software

Congrats to the #Gemini team at #Google. I'm hearing nothing but amazing things about Gemini 2.5 from the #vibecoding people! Seems like they really landed something amazing. #coding

If you've not thought about BS jobs, you might find this intriguing youtu.be/cGNJXDSBXaM?...

#vibecoding #programming

I think #vibecoding is an excellent replacement to designers coming up with mocks. Let's try out the idea a bit before we build it for real. But, if you want this to run in prod and you know... Work... Then real engineers are probably going to have to write some code. #programming

I mainly do #gamedev to just flex my #programming muscles. I do it for me, I do it in #golang, and I tend to take on the strangest challenges... What if I rethink how orbits work? Maybe collision detection could be weirder... All graphics should be lines with equations I need to work out... Yes.

New term: DINOsaur. A “democrat in name only” that is old and out of touch. Staying in power just to be in power.

I've noticed that with most of the media I see about #programming and AI, Gemini is left out. It's kinda between Claude Sonnet and ChatGPT. Occasionally I see DeepSeek. But VERY rarely Gemini... Why? I've not seen TOO much of a difference between them honestly.

#vibecoding just bums me out... Like it's so bad. Roll the dice... Have no context... Find issue... Roll dice again... #programming

I've never seen so many #golang gophers talking about #typescript in my life...

Someone asked me how I can work on multi-million line code bases? Answer: It has to be modular. It's not like I'm actually able to keep all of it in my head at any time... So lots of interfaces with other types consuming them. Find a reasonable DI system and go to town #programming
