Day 1 of 100.

Started @freeCodeCamp JavaScript course (JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures).

I'm encouraging anyone I work with to also commit to 100 days of learning. Learn new or polishing an existing skill. Let's do this.

We just had one of the biggest days in AI.

-Deepseek-V3
-Google Gemini 2.5
-GPT-4o image generation
-Zapier MCP protocol
-H&M AI clones
-China’s AI training breakthrough
-AI cancer detections breakthrough

Here's EVERYTHING you need to know:

I've read all of this thread, and think there's something here. A lot of efficiencies can be made in processes and approaches. Even starting over from the ground up with an ai focus.

Wall Street's biggest nightmare just came true:

Elon proved that 80% of corporate jobs are unnecessary.

Not because humans are lazy.

But because he discovered a dark truth about modern companies that no CEO wants to admit:

@teamcoach @heathahrens Thanks for this point, I think this is where a lot of companies are too. We're building stuff to slowly with too many people cheerleading or managing.

@taylorotwell There are devs calling React Next full stack?

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@t3dotgg That most newer devs don't know what ordinality, cardinality, or how to optimize/index a database well.

AI learning is quickly improving. It is still has it's limitations. However, I've been including https://t.co/sl9lxRLYSN. Most of the time, it just has a better experience and more thorough answers.

@PicturesFoIder Perfect loop exists

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@AjeyGore As someone who has been across the spectrum of design, tech, product: I believe that a technical person can have product sense if they can separate the conflict of interest for technical direction and effort. But it is easy for a dev to chase the shiny tech.

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@jamesqquick I prefer raw sql. That's my favorite awy to work with a database.

If the database is simple and "cookie cutter" website api, an ORM is fine. Whatever makes the work easier. But I'm not afraid to break the "philosophy" of an ORM and write sql or stored procedures.

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@t3dotgg Pull your earbuds out and ask if the interview is over yet.

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@therealdanvega I am building a new api and hitting PostgreSQL. I know it's not fancy, but I'm looking forward to building something to demonstrate simplicity and speed. I've updated everything to the latest and greatest.

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@levi_zitting I'd say your getting better at it as a whole. The technology moves forever, so "easier" is relative, IMO.

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@therealdanvega I am definitely interested. That's my database preference.

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@therealdanvega Agreed.

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@dashaun I deployed a simple spring boot 3.1 api deployed to railway, exposing a few actuator endpoints. Thanks for getting me excited about deployments!

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

This session was awesome, thanks guys. I'm on fire for Spring Boot 3! #KCDC2023

Thanks for the crash course, @therealdanvega.
Challenge accepted, @dashaun deployed app on it's way.

Sometimes, it's hard not to get lost in video games. Let's remind ourselves to take breaks, stay hydrated, and modulate our gaming time. #StayHealthy #ManageTime #VideoGames #ResponsibleGaming

@CodeByPoonam All of them

[Kevin Shoultz @KevinShoultz]

@MarkoMaturino @buildmidwestern Nice job. Keep it up.
