@joshmanders @FrancescoCiull4 Agreed. It was a lazy take 5 years ago and its only gotten lazier.

@ZohoCRM might be a better CRM than HubSpot at this point. Simple, easy-to-use and they don't gate simple features like workflow driven webhooks behind enterprise tiers.

“Software engineers who don’t know how to use AI coding agents will fall behind.”

No.

AI coding agents are not the hard part of building software. They’re a simple tool. You can learn to use them in a few days.

The hard part is knowing what to ask for.
Knowing whether the answer is any good.
Knowing when the code is brittle, overcomplicated, insecure, or just plain wrong.

It’s the judgement required to use them well.

That’s software engineering. And that takes decades to learn properly.

The people at risk aren’t engineers who haven’t mastered using coding agents yet.

It’s people who only know how to prompt one.

@anatelorenzen Idk — I did the KC to Denver drive 4 years ago when I moved out west. It’s the exact same thing just more corn.🌽

@Mechani_Kong We’re in a true race to the bottom for society and what it means to be human.

I will never understand the behavior of people sprinting up the aisle to get their bags out of overhead bins whenever you walk right by them during a normal off boarding process…

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

Flyers fans trying to figure out how to blame the refs when their team gets swept

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

Flyers will be lucky to win a single game in this series vs the Canes.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

Do people from Philly actually think this rendition of God Bless America is Good?! Good lord.

[Chris Mueller @ChrisMuellerPGH]

I think it’s really cool that the Penguins’ aging core dug deep this regular season to get to the playoffs one more time so that they could give us an encore of the 2013 Bruins series.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

No plan B - Pens look like butt.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

You should watch this.

It just shows how disconnected we are from the small group of people making decisions that will impact our future heavily.

These people have so much ai psychosis. If you listen to how she speaks, everything is personified, it is undoubtable she believes this is a living computational organism.

Just like how a model can hype up an individual into psychosis through reinforcement, a small group of people are giving themselves psychosis through reinforcement.

Wild times we live in

[Mark Madden @MarkMaddenX]

One reality was apparent: Flyers are a young team. Pens are an old team w/a few young guys. Flyers showed a collective hunger the Pens need to match. Pens showed a stubbornness that must be discarded. How the Pens perform the rest of this series determines a lot moving forward.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

@JoshYohe_PGH I hate those jerseys — throw them into the same fire with that effort last night.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

@wagslane 200% agree it should only matter if real people are involved. People love to be mad and it’s exhausting.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

@Anth_Chatburn @MarkMaddenX Ironically, you’d be a great Steeler fan - your definition of team success matches their delusion. Championships matter, staying in the middle and winning nothing is the worst place to be. Too good to not draft blue chip talent, too bad to compete for a championship.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

I kid you not, 9/10 GA4 implementations I see are a complete train wreck. It’s gotten to the point where when I see one that is actually well thought out I have a hard time believing it’s real.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

All Pens fans should go to game 3/4 in Philly wearing a custom jersey like this.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

@YinzerBarry @DarylMorty @CanadianPens @YaBoyCoots PHI fans are delusional - I probably would be too if the last time my team won a cup was during the Vietnam War.

[Derek Cavaliero @DerekCavaliero]

@CoolHutsonCaps @BenFeller The fact Forsberg and Wilson were both available in round one and the Pens reached at 8 to grab Pouliot makes it even a worse outcome for us lol.
