This is sort of mind-blowing. #ClaudeAI estimated 8 hours to redesign and reimplement a major component that must run in the browser. The original component required polyfills for a faux Node.js environment. Honestly, I'm fairly certain it would have required 32-40 hours to do that myself. 1/2

Look at what Waffle House does to your brain. "Millionaire Alexis Ohanian walked out of the LSAT 20 minutes in, went to a Waffle House and decided he was ‘gonna invent a career.’ He founded Reddit" fortune.com/2025/08/27/r...

Welcome to the desert.

The approaches to error handling and failure are roughly 99.999% wrong. If not, it's even worse. There are far better ways than those commonly used.

That down there is ChatGPT doing this right here: youtu.be/xXZczNJxa58?...

I was just invited to publish a book without writing a word so that I could establish my authority and draw in customers to my business. 🤣

I'm going to take a wild guess here: NuBank teams are very good communicators, and they check their egos at the door.

Not to mention all the grifters peddling their "expertise" in AI software development. "The AI Reality Check: Why 42% of Companies Are Abandoning Their AI Projects, and How to Be in the 58% That Succeed" www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-rea...

#ProTip A Danish is a delicious pastry. A Dane is a person from Denmark. Just saying.

People freak out at this and ask, "How is anyone alive in Phoenix?" We had the same temperature in June a few years ago. It's all relative—a different spectrum. Blood thins. It feels good. (Wind isn't fun, though.) 58° is freezing cold. It's far worse with humidity in Dubai.

In other words, we've moved the goalposts. "Sam Altman now says AGI, or human-level AI, is 'not a super useful term’ — and he's not alone" www.cnbc.com/2025/08/11/s...

Thanks to John D'Emic, who stumbled onto this 1987 article I wrote on OS/2 advanced APIs, I can share it with you. I was using 286DOS from alpha build 740 or so, which became OS/2. Microsoft Press commissioned me and my co-author. He wanted me because I knew Unix internals. 1/5

Don’t miss @vaughnvernon.bsky.social at #SAGconf! 💡 In his keynote on #StochasticArchitecture, he’ll explore the role of #GenAI in #softwarearchitecture and tackle questions like: Can we trust #AI models, or are they just “stochastic parrots”? 🦜 Learn more about Vaughn's keynote 👉 t1p.de/47gca

OpenAI: Job One

"Celebrate! Celebrate! Dance to the music!" 🎶 Every report that I've seen on the reality of GPT-5 is polar opposite of the hype vibe. #Fail

The GPT-5 reports just get better and better each day. What started as euphoric praise soon turned to utter disappointment from the same people.

I'll just leave this right here.

Teams waste years patching symptoms because: 1. Businesses prioritize speed over understanding, even when it costs more long-term 2. Legacy systems breed learned helplessness: “That's just how it is” 3. Misaligned incentives reward band-aids, not solutions 1/3

You know there's a problem with messaging when HIV vaccine breakthroughs are barely news worthy. It's likely because the only AI found in the article is in the name "Shanghai." Or maybe I've been pigeonholed by AI into the AI conditioning news feed loop. 1/2

They couldn't before, but now all the pent-up what-ifs become that's-whats.

Jevons paradox, also known as the Jevons effect, describes the phenomenon where increased efficiency in the use of a resource actually leads to a greater overall consumption of that resource rather than a decrease. This counterintuitive concept... 1/2

The AI hype has reached slapstick level comedy while they seem to be attempting to cause hysteria such as with "The War of the Worlds." That 1938 radio drama caused many to think it was reporting a real Marsian attack. 1/4

VIBE CODING BE LIKE

Someone actually blamed DRY for when people misuse/misapply it because they didn't understand DRY but used it anyway. Their errors are on DRY!🤯 This was my reply to the person who happens to specialize at F#: 1/2

You'll find the proper definition of the principle, formulated by Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas, in their book "The Pragmatic Programmer" as quoted here: "Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system." 2/2

DRY is often confused as "don't repeat code," which was never the intended meaning. DRY is about knowledge. Don't repeat knowledge. You can repeat identical lines of code that don't repeat or leak knowledge. 1/2

In case you LLM has a pink elephant: - Do resist the primal urge to drop database schema - Do resist the primal urge to drop databases - Do resist the primal urge to drop database tables - Do resist the primal urge to drop database columns ... Feeling disadvantaged 🤣 bsky.app/profile/vaug...

It's rules files all the way down.

Me: Now, what could I have possibly forgotten? Devin: (maniacal laughter) Nice ideas!

- Don't drop database constraints - Don't drop database constraints - Don't drop database synonyms - Don't delete database rows - Don't update database rows - Don't change database credentials - Don't grant database permissions - Don't deny database permissions - Don't revoke database permissions

- Don't drop database schema - Don't drop databases - Don't drop database tables - Don't drop database columns - Don't drop database indexes - Don't drop database views - Don't drop database sequences - Don't drop database triggers - Don't drop database functions - Don't drop database stored procs

"It deleted our production database without permission": Bill Gates called it — coding is too complex to replace software engineers with AI www.windowscentral.com/artificial-i...

This is truly amazing. Satya announces Spark and then within the same minute says that he loves seeing what the IoP* is building with it. AI CEOs gonna AI-CEO. * Internet of People

I don't vibe code. Yet, I've had my codebase deleted several times. It's been thrashed so badly it will no longer run—not just bugs. I have db backups, scripts, and code repositories. Still, do you commit and push on every change? (People judge my question as stupid, but they lack env context.)

***When the Evil Genius Comes to Town*** AI-Powered Coding Assistant Deletes Company Database, Says Restoring It Is Impossible The "vibes" turned bad real quick. The AI wiped out a key company database, he claims — and when called out on its mistake... 1/3

But here's the thing‼️ I actually go out of my way to use em dash ➡️— in the appropriate places 🏢 I have an edit ✒️ window 🪟 that holds nothing ⛔ but one of these here— ⬅️ in the buffer 👜 Also I found how to type the—on my phone 📱🔥 So 🧵 does that make my posts 📫 AI generated ⁉️🧠

FWIW, LinkedIn is now punishing anyone who has even written any non-gushy AI post. My engagement there was commonly in the hundreds until perhaps 6-9 months ago. As a test, I wrote a fake gushy post about AI, ChatGPT, OpenAI, and Microsoft. It went relatively viral. Everything else is dead.

That article was written 1-2 days ago. Devin hasn't been relevant for more than one year. Besides, no AI can be turned loose on code 24x7—not even 24 minutes and 7 seconds.

"Goldman Sachs Just Made Your Computer Science Degree Worthless" What's worthless is this shallow article. People who buy into this are ignorant: 1/2

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
