The future belongs to people who can just do things 💪 @ghuntley.com at #DDDAdelaide 2025 on guiding teams through software's biggest shift in 40 years: programming with LLMs. Help your team through their "expletive" moment and into growth 🚀✨

Getting some truth bombs from @ghuntley.com at web directions engineering AI this evening.

This is a very thoughtful piece by @ghuntley.com Think about the impact of large language models on open source. ghuntley.com/libraries/ Geoff speculates that we will increasingly no longer rely on open source because Li's language models are trained on all of it and can simply generate them.

Uhh @ghuntley.com this you?

This is gold. I'm super curious what incident led to the inclusion of "DO NOT discuss ANY details about how ANY companies implement their products or services on AWS or other cloud services" in the system prompt.

Good post by @ghuntley.com onbusing AI for coding ghuntley.com/play/

Dropping the truth on AI tooling relating to software development at the moment - @ghuntley.com We need better tools for sure but this will be getting better. Why do we even need an IDE? I have been playing with this idea too ajfisher.me/2024/10/28/s... #wdcode

Alright, I made a thing yesterday in front of the audience at @webdirections.org. It isn't charming. It's terrible. But it was used as an example of "play" to learn what an LLM can and cannot do — deliberate, intentional practice. github.com/ghuntley/pis...

The full talk is today, closing out @webdirections.org with it. Thanks @mandymichael.bsky.social for cocktails and fonts slide surgery last night. I’ve made some aesthetic changes. :)

@shibcodes.bsky.social overalls!!

📰 deliberate intentional practice

📰 from Luddites to AI: the Overton Window of disruption

> If your coding agent is misbehaving, it's time to create a new context window. If the bowling ball is in the gutter, there's no saving it. It's in the gutter. 100% agree, based on experience

✨ rizzler: stop crying over Git merge conflicts and let AI handle the drama ✨ 💀 Ugh, merge conflicts. That sinking feeling when Git screams at you? We've all been there. Manually fixing those tangled messes? It's giving... tedious. It's giving... waste of my precious time. 😩 ghuntley.com/rizzler

📰 autoregressive queens of failure

📰 I dream about AI subagents; they whisper to me while I'm asleep

📰 if you aren't redlining the LLM, you aren't headlining

@phillipcarter.dev there's gotta be a term for when the llm fuckwits to the fastest solve (commenting out tests/making required things optional)

I saw your eariler post, and I generated an objdump of the ls command, and fed it through cursor ai with a lot of prompting. I generated specs, and then told it to generate a rust version. It worked. Iteratively. I mean the specs aren't even that detailed. I didn't use deep thinking at all.

No waiting for a failed apply. Just use the component and see the problem. How hard was this to add? It was *130 lines of typescript*. 155 total to add it to the entirety of the AWS assets. We are going to blow your socks straight off your body. github.com/systeminit/s...

📰 Introducing the new meta for Cursor and the first increment of Groundhog ghuntley.com/specs/

📰 Can an LLM convert C, to ASM to specs and then to a working Z/80 Speccy tape? Yes.

📰 Yes, Claude Code can decompile itself. Here's the source code.
