Yet another example why we shouldn’t let them romanticize privatization. We’ll suffer.

do not let the government fool you. they absolutely do owe you functioning systems, they owe you clean water, they owe you access to housing, they owe you opportunities to work, they owe you dignity. that’s within their constitutional mandate, that’s their purpose and their duty.

A possible future: For the last 30 years, devs have made the sensible assumption that every time a human touches a codebase under time pressure, the codebase gets less maintainable. This is called software entropy. It's only possible to escape by continual monitoring and

All the principles of software engineering are not really about code per se. They are about how to organize the highly detailed specification of a product.

OMG it's enough. Everyone's screaming about the models being so good that everyone will lose their jobs but the models mean nothing if companies do not know how to DEPLOY and use them in ways that drive VALUW across industries. And off the shelf AI products are notoriously POO.

I now honestly think that most engineers who still think that agents will be plopped into existing software development loops - tickets, push to GitHub, run CI, review a PR, merge a PR - aren't thinking far enough ahead.

"the people who struggle with coding agents are those who try to push their way too hard. partially why I find coding with agents easy is that I've led engineering teams before". this is a unique view on AI coding, that to maximize your output you have to "let go" a bit and

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have

Duca Someone has to prompt the Claudes, talk to customers, coordinate with other teams, decide what to build next. Engineering is changing and great engineers are more important than ever.

Nobody is trying to fix the problems we have in the world. Everyone is just trying to make enough money so the problems don't apply to them anymore.

Who was it that said "if you live in a 15 minute city but your barista has an hour-long commute you don't live in a city; you live in an amusement park"

I hate these "coding isn't the hard part" tweets I have been a part of and seen several companies not just struggling with "the right decision" but the culmination of their past technical decisions. AI won't magically make this go away. Lines of Code is still a liability and

Because nobody wants to pay for it anymore. Michelangelo was paid today's equivalent of roughly $650,000 – $750,000 USD for the Sistine Chapel ceiling, which took over 4 years to complete. Leonardo da Vinci was paid today's equivalent of $110,000–$120,000 USD per year and given

The guy who created Claude Code and runs 5 Claudes in parallel just told you the bottleneck in software isn’t writing code anymore. Think about what Boris actually listed: prompting, customer conversations, cross-team coordination, deciding what to build. That’s a product

early in my career when i was learning a new tech or language i would tinker and google whenever i hit a roadblock eventually i realized books had all the information i needed pre-googled for me i think this is happening again with LLMs - sometimes i waste so much time letting

CEO of Shopify tobi lutke is shipping more code than ever. 2024: 94 commits 2025: 833 commits 2026: 957 commits (in first 45 days of the year) Claude is turning CEOs back to builder mode.
