@joshlewis I was starting to get worried!

[David Berget @DBerget]

At the end of the day, I can at least be happy I'm on @joshlewis's algorithm.

[David Berget @DBerget]

@bcardarella @briceayres Yeah, seems weird. Take a meeting and report back! :)

[David Berget @DBerget]

@bcardarella @briceayres Maybe they trying to get a good deal if they think owners are going to get scared and sell out of fear/desperation?

[David Berget @DBerget]

AI usage by employees is just another signal to figure out who cares enough to use it effectively. It's just a 10x multiplier of the truth

[David Berget @DBerget]

AI is just like hogs in Texas, the only people that can do anything about them are the ones making the most money.

@catalinmpit Elixir with Phoenix LiveView on the frontend

[David Berget @DBerget]

@GregorySchier Agreed, I've never even had an issue with it dealing with conflicts to matter. Almost all the skills I actually use are more for accessing or updating data, or checking something on prod machine, stuff like that.

[David Berget @DBerget]

I like to believe I don't have AI psychosis but I have a hard time relating with the people that don't have AI psychosis.

[David Berget @DBerget]

Idiocracy but it's a utopia, is that the future?

[David Berget @DBerget]

I think this applies to dev work as well, small subtle differences in his you express your intent in your terminology

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

One reason AI sucks at design is because you're bad at telling it what you want

Experienced designers have a thousand shorthands for expressing design in words:

- "set the text tighter/looser", "bump the leading"
- "tighten it up", "let it breathe", "fix the hierarchy"
- "anchor", "rhythm", "negative space"

Feels like a skill waiting to be written here

[David Berget @DBerget]

@dreamsofcode_io Human written, but it would depend on what timeframe it was built out in. The _number_ of passing tests wouldn't really be a deciding factor.

[David Berget @DBerget]

@joshlewis Right, I mean for folks that get energy and enthusiasm from the experience and want that type of community it's probably worth it to send those people a couple times a year. Just like going to bible camp :)

[David Berget @DBerget]

You can actually do hard things.

[David Berget @DBerget]

Incredible W for @posthog, @james406

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

Fascinating results

+ Anthropic running away with it right now
+ So many people want to start their own company
+ Google over OpenAI
+ Vercel, Linear, Every, PostHog overperforming

A great list if you're trying to figure out where to go work 👇

10/10. Amazing tweet.

[Bruce Fenton @brucefenton]

Amazing to think that the headphone brand Beats, now owned by Apple, had no founder at all.
It was just created in 2006 and sold for $3 billion in 2014. No founder, no well known figurehead or connection to the music industry.

[David Berget @DBerget]

I wonder if there's any correlation between Meta's recent layoffs and all of their devs who are gaming the token usage standards they put out.

[David Berget @DBerget]

@DavidKPiano Damn, i thought you've been trying to "X-out State" this entire time!

[David Berget @DBerget]

Larger companies embracing AI will be like other long tail changes, it will take time to see the effects but will become clear after a while as it compounds.

Like improving your SEO. It's not something that can be felt overnight, especially externally.
