🛝 Having fun with:

[Cory House @housecor]

I’m not sure what’s worth my attention anymore.

AI easily handles all the stuff I used to enjoy crafting by hand.

So frameworks and libraries feel like boring implementation details now.

[Fran Bosquet @frbosquet]

@koomai @AdamRackis Lol 😅

[Adrián Suárez @Nuevebits]

Uf, gracias, Steam. Me has ahorrado una compra

[David Wells @DavidWells]

The AI ponzi scheme goes like this:

Everyone is generating all these long ass docs and then passing them off for others to read

Then the person receiving is like, wtf this is way too long, and hands that into an AI to read and summarize

Then they are generating a long ass response back

and this cycle goes like that forever. and we call this work now 😅

The token lords watch this from their towers nodding and grinning.

sucks ass, should be a skull with knives behind it so the aliens know what the fuck is up

every software engineer is just someone who wanted to make video games and quietly gave up on that dream

[Alex St. Louis @AlexStLouis10]

I vibe coded Steam, but for the browser.

Imagine the retro and indie titles you love, running in WebAssembly and WebGPU at near-native performance. With full controller support!

🤖 Internal AI Agent Reasoning:

Hmm, the user is asking about addition. Let me
consider the ontological implications of numeric
combination. First, I need to evaluate whether
this is base-10 or perhaps a cultural reference.
Let me query the database for context on this
user. Okay, they ordered a pizza last March, so
they're probably hungry. Hungry people make
mistakes. They probably meant 2 + 3. Let me also
consider that "+" could be a metaphor. Pulling in

How to make your engineering job application stand out (from the perspective of someone looking at hundreds of resumes):

1. Your resume should be one page. If you really need more space, link to a website. You don't need 10+ bullets for each job.

2. You will immediately stand out >90% of applications if you link a personal website that has some intentionality behind it.

3. If you are going to link your X, you might want to clean up your posts? Seems obvious but... people post some wild stuff.

4. You should link your GitHub. Please avoid doing a profile README that looks like a MySpace profile with the badges and images. I'm trying to look at code and your ability to build interesting ideas.

5. You should try to customize your application to the company. If you're applying to a startup, the courses you took in college probably don't matter as much. Maybe more if you're trying to make it through the ATS screening for FAANG.

6. I'm seeing a surprising number of resumes which don't talk about AI or agents at all. Software engineering is changing and it's a pretty fair assumption that you will be expected to learn or understand coding with AI for your job. That should be reflected on your resume and projects (and I'm not just saying this because I'm at Cursor).

7. Take your LinkedIn seriously. Most devs are here hanging out on X but surprisingly still most people will send around your LinkedIn internally.

8. Find ways to show your unique strengths/tastes/interests. It's nice to see people are smart, well-rounded, and thoughtful. Maybe this is a collection of books you enjoyed and why. Or some writing you've done. Or films you liked. At the end of the day, people want to work with other people they like and respect. If nothing else, it will be a good conversation starter ("oh I love [book] as well!").

9. Do not use AI to write your cover letter or resume text. It's incredibly obvious, especially if you are applying to an AI company. You can still use it to ideate on ideas or phrases, but write it by hand (don't fall victim to the overused in-the-distribution-AI-phrases). See: /humanizer skill.

10. No photos on resumes. Save those for whatever you link out to.

11. Quality over quantity. 3 really good, thoughtful, detailed, interesting projects versus a wall of 27 AI-slop ones.

Remember that hiring managers / recruiters are getting hundreds or thousands of applications for a role. They're not going to spend 20 minutes on every single application. You need to cut the cruft and get to the point. I hope this helps you stand out!

VIROLOGIST: “It’s bizarre, Hantavirus almost never jumps from human to human like this. Usually it’s from coming into contact with rat feces or something.”

CRUISE SHIP CHEF: “Yeah, that’s crazy, it must’ve mutated or something.”

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

It's now the 3rd large account on this site, just this week who used to write interesting things and about a year ago I still followed them.

Now all their tweets (+threads) are very obviously AI-written, cringe to read (all the AI cliches there) and I just muted them for good.

Pretty sure the only way to keep up with all the new AI tools is to not have a job

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

The only people who believe any of this are non-coders.

I tried to build a game (an area I’m an n00b in.) The results are amusingly disastrous - I never before coded a decent game.

But I’ll crack out backend services w AI rapidly - because I coded dozens of them before…

[Dhruv @dhruvtwt_]

Why is no one talking about this?

@nvidia is offering around 80 AI models via hosted APIs absolutely for free.

You get access to MiniMax M2.7, GLM 5.1, Kimi 2.5, DeepSeek 3.2, GPT-OSS-120B, Sarvam-M etc.

This plugs straight into OpenClaude, OpenCode, Zed IDE, Hermes agent and even with Cursor IDE.

Setup:
– Grab API key: https://t.co/Wfdclm0hY2
– base_url = "https://t.co/VOGC10LmGP"
– api_key = "$NVIDIA_API_KEY"
– select model (e.g. minimaxai/minimax-m2.7)

If you’re building or experimenting, this is basically free inference.

Lock in and start building today anon.

Thank me later.
