we in software have nothing to limit us but our imagination, that's always been true, but if you aren't raising your own bar right now you are are missing out.

Here's todays workflow. I am the meat inbetween GPT 5.4 xhigh Plan -> GPT 5.4 Pro Review -> GPT 5.4 xhigh Plan -> GPT 5.4 Pro Review [Loop a few times] -> Then implement with GPT 5.4 xhigh. It won't be long until I am not needed. The models are already there, we just need a few

We used to write all this by HAND? Every single character typed out individually by a person sitting at a desk all day? Everything working was a function of your understanding of the codebase + your syntax being 100% accurate? Can you even imagine?

We have json-render at home Ported Chris Tate's json-render to Phoenix LiveView. AI generates a JSON spec, server resolves it to function components, LiveView pushes only HTML diffs over the WebSocket. - Guardrailed — AI only uses components you register - Progressive streaming

You must fall in love with outcomes, not abstractions. This very raw, very thoughtful video from Mo is worth a watch in full. Much of it resonates, and I feel and have felt a lot of the dissonance he talks about. Here's how I'm thinking about things of late. ---- One of my

I continue to be insanely shocked with Ash / Elixir / Codex (GPT-5.4 + 5.4 Pro). I've used nearly 3 billion tokens in the last 3 days and completed months of work. Coding is 100% solved in my workflow. Nothing feels too hard anymore. Massive features take a bit of time to shape

Product development is now a tree search to find the optimal end result. It's just like a Choose your own adventure game. There's the same anxiety associated with each decision. You don't really know what compounds, or is valuable yet. Going to be wild when products are

Spicy take 🌶️ If this age of AI gives you existential dread instead of giving you wings you weren't that good at what you 'do' We all have superpowers and propellant to get work done better and faster, but there is nowhere to hide a lack of vision for 'what' to get done

You are the meat-in-the-middle. Whatever your super skill is, these models are already better than you at it. We're slowly figuring out the right orchestration harness to pull it out. I'm convinced that the base models don't even need to improve to see compounding results over

Worktrees are annoying cause you gotta setup different env for each - new env, db, then seed the db... .. oh wait I can just ask codex to fix it for me, and it'll all just work an hour from now. You can just do things, easier than before! What a brave new world.

I think I already went through this existential crisis about seven years ago when React Native became a thing. As a “native” developer, I took pride in Objective-C, Swift, and UIKit because native apps had better performance and feel. But nobody cares how it was made, only that
