Wanted to start my first post with my "gangster" daddy.

The man I look up to and the man who survived concentration camps in China.

Are Uyghurs Chinese Muslims?

[Kuzzat Altay @Kuzzat_AltayEN]

When you respect your prophet, the AI respects it too.

I love how Claude is using ﷺ by default after our beloved prophet ﷺ

We Muslims should teach AI to say peace and blessing upon him, after every time it mentions Jesus.

How I used VPN in Communist China?

@brian_armstrong This has nothing to do with AI.

After using Claude Code at least 10 hours a day for almost a month, here's what I realized:

Manually writing code is like trying to build a skyscraper with a shovel.

Anyone who's skeptical about AI making manual coding obsolete will suffer heavy consequences within 12-24 months.

Claude Code is one year old. Recently, Opus 4.6 with a 1 million context token window was released. Building a solid, commercially viable application with 600-800 test cases is now feasible — because I've already built three.

When the context window reaches 2M or 5M tokens, building decent consumer applications will become very achievable.

During this process, I had to trash everything I built in the first two weeks.

Here's why:

In human software development, we hate documentation and planning. In agentic software development, you spend 80% of your effort on planning.

You need a clear requirements document with solid acceptance criteria. For each acceptance criterion, you need test cases. And here's the trap — if you let AI test code that AI wrote, it will write tests that will pass, even if you run it against the sky. Your tests need to be grounded in your requirements, not generated in a vacuum.

The requirements need to be divided into manageable sessions because of the context limit. Each session runs about 45-90 minutes. And here's what's terrifying for traditional teams: one agentic development session does the work of one agile team in one sprint.

So do we still need to learn coding? Yes.

Fundamentals still matter.
1,000 × 0 = 0.

If your technical foundation is zero, it doesn't matter how powerful the AI is. You already know what you're getting.

You don't need to become a traditional software engineer in Silicon Valley. But you need a minimum technical threshold to differentiate yourself from the 99.99% of vibe coders who think that with English alone, they can build a commercially viable application.

@_GlobeObserver Meanwhile, opening a bank account takes three months in Europe.

They are buys with banning, regulating, micro managing, choking entrepreneurship and innovation. Good luck :)

@Coinvo Bring term limit.

Chinese soldiers are ready to invade Taiwan. The heroic table cleaning after their lunch was severed as PLA propaganda in China.

@Inki_FairyTales @ShiningScience Great point. I am not trying to be your father. So chill.

[Kuzzat Altay @Kuzzat_AltayEN]

@FischerBaiman @Soifer471258 @AdmiralMMI @AmzBoogie There is a concept called RAG, retrieval argument generation in AI. No need to start an AI lecture here.

So when you don’t know it, you speak this way. We all need to learn more before whining and blaming about others.

[Kuzzat Altay @Kuzzat_AltayEN]

@AdmiralMMI @AmzBoogie ALLAH allowed 4, RECOMMENDED 1.

Many don’t want to take ALLAH’a recommendation, interesting :)

[Kuzzat Altay @Kuzzat_AltayEN]

@332118HM @AmzBoogie I don’t have wider context. When I was around 14, I heard from my teacher about this poem just once. He said it was Tatar poet Abdullah Tuqay.

And I am not Tatar, I am Uyghur.

[Kuzzat Altay @Kuzzat_AltayEN]

@33Atihana @AmzBoogie I said it reminded me of poem. Chill. lol.

[Kuzzat Altay @Kuzzat_AltayEN]

When you beat up a kid every single day while chanting “ALLAH’u Akbar,” the first chance that kid gets, he will burn the Quran.

The Iranian people are burning Qurans and mosques because the Molla regime has exploited and oppressed them in the name of Islam.

This reaction is against the Molla regime, not against Islam itself.

Free Iran.

@rawsalerts One might think this is a sophisticated cyber attack. It’s more likely a $7/hour “contractor” opened up the back door for hackers. When Meta discriminates against American workers, I am not surprised this happened.

@HowThingsWork_ No joke, a Chinese proverb: 你死我活. You die I live. lol.
