10x engineer is an outdated idea.
With AI, we’re seeing 100x engineers.
I dug into @steipete OpenClaw git history:
• 6,933 commits
• 68 days
• One developer
Do the math:
- 102 commits/day
- One commit every 8 minutes
- ~8k net new lines per day
- ~550K lines of surviving production code
This is the new frontier of development.
I spoke with @clattner_llvm about AI and software craftsmanship.
"The question is, when things settle out, where do you as a programmer stand? Have you lost years of your own development because you’ve been spending it the wrong way?”
A must read:

Fighting over React Native vs Flutter vs Compose Multiplatform vs Swift is ridiculous.
Our goal as professionals is to ship brilliant products for our customers, period.
We live in the best possible time where we don't have to learn new languages every time we want to ship products to a new platform.
We should be celebrating this tech feat, not be fighting over languages and frameworks.
Let's talking, more building.
October will be another big AI month. 𝕏 is ripe with leaks:
- Gemini 3 by Google
- Grok 4.1 by xAI
- Claude 4.5 by Anthropic
Which one are you waiting for?
The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.
A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.
No more political violence.
“The pattern is clear: Apple has built an incredibly powerful AI chip for an older generation of AI models and paired it with crappy software that makes it almost unusable to folks on the outside.” https://t.co/BKZoTp8vxl
🌶️ The biggest opportunity in AI right now isn't making models 10% better — it's meeting users where they are.
The devices on our desks and in our pockets are capable of running AI workflows. So why are we still building apps like it's 2010, as thin clients to JSON APIs?
My current project is now at ~1,428 files; ~229,000 LOC.
GPT-5 estimates (web + mobile + desktop + extension + CLI) : Team: 6–8 engineers (incl. 1 infra/ops, 1 QA/automation, 1 mobile), 9–15 months
Claude says 4-6 senior developers, 10-15 months.
I work on this by myself, a good month so far.
You can just do things.
AI made me language agnostic, in the sense that I'm not trying anymore to build everything in Kotlin!
I talk to the AI, and it suggests doing it in Python because it's better integrated in "the whatever"? Yeah, sure! Let's use Python. I want to do something that's generally done in JS? Sure, JS it is.
It's giving so much freedom and peace of mind. I just build the things I want now, ignoring the ornamental details, the bits, the whats.
I feel like a kid, exploring and learning, without shame, pressure, or social constructs.
I simply tinker all the time, and I love it.
the reason why people abandon so many “almost done” things is because the last 20% of anything is friction, detail, & accountability.
that last 20% of the work doesn’t feel like 20% at all, it feels like the whole damn thing & then some.
this is especially true in an ai era where you can go from zero to something so quickly.
Any claude coders figure out a better way to deal with this feedback, when claude decides to run the bash startup it continually kills the process oppose to using the hot reload command. Haven't figured out how to instruct it better. #claudecode#flutter
Other fav #claude trick, when cleaning up my staged changes after QA.
cmauto = "!f() { \
msg=$(claude -p \"Look at the staged git changes and create a summarizing git commit title. Only respond with the title and no affirmation.\"); \
git cm \"$msg\"; \
}; f"
New workflow, maintain large features tasks in the branch via markdown file. If I notice anything along the way of QA just create a gh issue. Then I start a new session with just bugs fixes reading off gh issues. Keeps the context separated and on point. #claude
