It really is this simple 😭

[choc @choc]

The green window should be significantly smaller, but if you time it you should be able to green it. It’s that simple.
Make shooting a skill gap again.

[Nick @NickAHollins]

Shooting anything above 60% in this scenario is crazy to me and a 20% jump is still kinda crazy. Badges shouldn’t matter as much. It should just be a slight boost. Realistically 50%.

[Mike Wang @Beluba]

Hopefully this is a little more clear. If you take 100 shots and average 40% make percentage with zero badges. What would you expect your shot % to climb to if you took those same exact 100 shots but were fully badged out.

I need a GitHub too! Is it like that or nah?

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

I’m going to tell you how much worse it was at the start of the PC Revolution for white collar workers trying to adapt, vs today with AI

Today, presumably every white collar worker has access to a smart phone and/or a PC/laptop.

Back then, a PC cost $4,995 , an off brand was $3,995. 5k in 1984 is about $16k today. It was really expensive.

The only reason I could learn how to code and support software is because my job let me take home a PC to learn. By reading the software manual. Literally. RTFM. Or pay to go to training. Classes that started at hundreds of dollars then. It was expensive. It absolutely limited who could get ahead.

Today, ANYONE can go to their browser, to the AI LLM website of their choice, and type in the words “I’m a novice with zero computer background, teach me how to create an agent that reads my email and …”

That concept applies to LEARNING ANYTHING

Think about what this means. Any employee of any company can say “ I need to learn how to xyz for my job , which is to do the following: Tell me what more information do you need to help me be more efficient, productive and promotable”. Or “ what new skills can you teach me that will help me reduce my chances of getting laid off “. Or “what suggestions do you have for me to communicate to my boss, who I barely know, to help my chances of staying employed “

These aren’t great prompts. But they are a start that anyone can take.

Think about how incredible that is.

Back in the day was so much harder for white collar workers. It was harder for new grads because unless they took comp sci, they probably had never used a PC.

Big Companies are going to cut jobs. No question about it. Small companies is are going to need more and more AI literate thinkers who can help them compete or get an edge

What I tell every entrepreneur, and it’s more crucial today. “ when you run with the elephants there are the quick and the dead. Adopt tech quickly , you can out maneuver big companies. “

“I was overly reliant on my Claude Code agent”

I think this is what stands out to me the most about this article and we are not having the conversations around the over reliance on AI enough. Also, “where’s is my database” is hilarious 🤣

[Alexey Grigorev @Al_Grigor]

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.

It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.

Automated snapshots were gone too.

In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.

If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

[Drizzle ORM @DrizzleORM]

As of today, Drizzle has become the most sustainablest ORM on Earth 🚀
PlanetScale hired entire Drizzle core team to work on Drizzle ORM full-time, which is just… WOW!
I mean, I can’t believe this is happening and how amazing this is going to be...

Let’s address the most important things:
▪︎ The governance of Drizzle does not and will not change
▪︎ Drizzle remains independent and open-source
▪︎ We will now work more full-timer on Drizzle ORM, Kit and Studio
▪︎ Our social media manager(me) will finally have a salary
▪︎ Drizzle v1 is going to be amazing

Thank you all for using Drizzle, without you there won’t be 1.2k GitHub issues and 355 PRs, we’d live a happy life, touching grass ❤️

So my team recently found out about @ScribeHow for creating user guides within our app and I'm legit mind blown on how much time this saved us. This would have been at least a 2-4 day project that turned into a few hours 🔥
