@simonswiss I miss watching your video

@paulg @metapreston Thank you for writing that article.

This is a really good take. And I hold the same opinion about writing too. When you write and find it hard to form your statement, it points out a gap in your understanding, and that's how you learn by writing.

Using LLM takes that away.

[Taylor Otwell @taylorotwell]

A few things I've noticed as all devs write code with AI.

When you write foundational / architectural code of a new project by hand, you "feel" the code pushing back if your abstraction isn't right. You feel when something is harder than it should be. The code is telling you it's not in the right shape. Good engineers are sensitive to this.

When you're using an LLM, you keep pushing right through this in a way that feels like you're making progress, and it may even be directionally correct in a sense, but the underlying foundation of it all is actually bad in a way that either kills progress of the LLM later as it buckles under the complexity it has created or destroys your ability to maintain the code long term.

Related to this, I see a general restlessness with just sitting and thinking about a problem for a while.

As I've been working on a new library here at Laravel, there have been days where it feels like I mainly just stare at my screen thinking about something. When Claude Code is at your fingertips, it's tempting to just start yapping into the terminal and watching code come out the other end. Again, directionally correct in some ways, but often doesn't land on the elegant solution that is waiting to be discovered.

ts-go may need to be rewritten to ts-assembly in a few years 😆

@AmirulAbu Yay if you want to develop some people skills and okay with your technical skill maintain as-is. Not because of the company but working in a vendor in general. Software consulting firm is just software house with a higher price tag.

How I write tests - and how it is gonna get better with a relatively new JS feature.

@YiqingGan @airasia Reddit says it's better to just go to KL sentral customer center: https://t.co/5Tyt267hId

[Malcolm Kee @Malcolm_Kee]

@YiqingGan @airasia They can still charge your card when your card is no longer valid? That's really weird. Did you add the new card to your AA account?

[Malcolm Kee @Malcolm_Kee]

@YiqingGan @airasia I'm not from airasia but I'm familiar with how payment works.

[Malcolm Kee @Malcolm_Kee]

@YiqingGan @airasia If they're not responding and it's credit card you can dispute it via your credit card company. It may take some time to process so you have to pay in the meantime, but they will be refunded eventually if airasia could not prove it's valid transaction.

@nedo_sy Well instagram wanna-be influencers can be repeat customers too. "#\coffee #\selflove"

@gaddafirusli As an ex tech meetup organizer in KL, the issue is it's not easy to find speaker, even though we've been highlighting that beginners are welcomed. So often I would just check with previous speakers.

[Malcolm Kee @Malcolm_Kee]

It’s usually fine when I fail at something, it gets hard when I start seeing that as a sign of my mediocrity

[Malcolm Kee @Malcolm_Kee]

Build it, and they will come.
