big ai:

• software engineering is dead
• writing code is dead
• ai will write better binaries
• don't learn to write code
• everyone can build anything

also big ai: "more than two colors is too hard"

[Matt Biilmann @biilmann]

AI will make the amount of software we build explode.

At Netlify we just switched from Zoom to Google Meets. In general an improvement, except that in Meets you can't share audio from outside the tab you are screen sharing. This means no ability to play a Spotify song during the first few minutes of a townhall or large group meeting while showing the intro slides and messaging.

Before AI, I would just have lived with it. Not now.

I opened up Claude Code and gave it this prompt:

"I want to create a chrome extension that lets me paste a spotify embed block (or similar embed block) and then injects an iframe into the current page with that embed positioned so it's always on top of any other elements and interactive. Make sure there's a little close icon to dismiss the iframe again (should remove the iframe from the DOM)"

Now I have a Chrome Extension that lets me play Spotify from within any tab, and I've solved my problem.

I've coded Chrome Extensions myself, but it's a long time ago, and I would not have had the time to read up on how they work, figuring out how to start one and do the setup, write UI code for drag'n drop stuff in JavaScript, etc, etc...

This is software that would have never been made without AI, and we'll see so much more of this.

What's also true is that had I not been an experienced developer, had I not known about the capabilities of Chrome Extensions to inject code into the current tab, or had I not known about iframe's and their ability to run external code safely within a tab, I would not have been able to write a prompt to solve this problem with or without AI.

As @KentBeck said in a recent tweet: "The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x."

You won’t lose your best people because they stop caring. You’ll lose them because they cared too much, for too long, in a system that rewarded the wrong ones and wasted their time.

But now anyone can buy a verified check mark and impersonate anyone else

It’s a gold rush for scamming

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

@DannPetty @LinkedIn use the #hustle hashtag a lot; share fake stories that didn't happen but are super feel-good; write lots of catchy, emotive underdog story anecdotes.

Oh and make sure you DM when you connect letting the other person know that you're super pumped to join their network!!

[Adam Williams @AdamWilliams_10]

wow @leits_dev this is actually perfect for me. Have tried loads in the past but they've never quite done it for me. Amazing work, congrats on the launch.

Why @googlecalendar never just adopted this hackathon project as their own I'll never know but it's being unpublished now which is sad, because i'll now be late to every meeting.

[Adam Williams @AdamWilliams_10]

Scratch that. Necessity drives innovation and after a bit of google fu and producthunt sleuthing, as if by divine coincidence a superior solution was released just a month ago to sit right in my menubar. https://t.co/luMtdcGzrN

@Leandro8209 @sodopizzalondon @ubereats_uk First takeaway of the year, been waiting three weeks for this only to see the delivery driver pull them out of his insulated box on their flipping side. Like WTF. Died a little inside. £30 for a soggy dough. #value 😂

[Adam Williams @AdamWilliams_10]

Excited to see @sodopizzalondon on @ubereats_uk and then remembered that half the drivers think pizzas can be carried vertically these days. Fucking useless.
