@annamalai_k @nikitabier @elonmusk the translation is just bad and completely wrong for most of the tamil tweets. Either the translation should become better or this autotranslation should be stopped. Its just horrendous

@bcherny Thats very inspiring @bcherny . Claude code is awesome. Have lookedup to you at Meta and now seeing you do great things for the coders mankind :)

@PRSundar64 Fortunate for her !!!

@nikitabier how do i turn off this auto translate. First it does not translate as well as it should. Second i get some tweets in xyz language because i know that language and would like to read it as it is. @elonmusk

@AravSrinivas When would any support for Llama come in?

[Sundararajan @Sundararajans]

@AravSrinivas DM ed you.

[Sundararajan @Sundararajans]

@AravSrinivas You are one of the most active and genius founder of this decade! Truly inspiring @AravSrinivas

Superbuilders

Founders: do you have at least one superbuilder on your team? This is an engineer who is amazing at building stuff, whether infrastructure or customer facing, whatever new technology or system they have to learn. They are super fast at learning, converting high level vision statements into clear tangible engineering milestones, iterating, building and launching. They are the people you put on the hardest technology problems, when you don’t truly have a clear path forward, when all seems lost, when time is of the essence.

Superbuilders go beyond the traditional definition of a 10x engineer, because such a person is not evaluated merely (!) based on their technical prowess but in their ability to ship pragmatic solutions with a high level of excellence.

Superbuilders emerge from diverse technical backgrounds - some are CS Ph.D.s who have built complex distributed systems, others are self-taught programmers who've spent years building and shipping products independently. What unites them is a track record of independently driving ambitious technical projects to completion. Many have experience as early employees at successful startups or have led critical infrastructure projects at major tech companies. They typically have deep expertise in multiple domains, whether it's distributed systems, ML infrastructure, frontend frameworks, or mobile development. However, their true distinguishing characteristic is their ability to rapidly master new domains and technologies as needed, paired with an uncanny sense of knowing exactly which technical tradeoffs will deliver the most business value.

Adding a superbuilder to an engineering team transforms the engineering culture, because it gives the other engineers a role model to aspire to, and shows them what’s possible.

Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat were the first superbuilders I met, twenty years ago. Google wouldn’t be Alphabet without them. Similarly, without at least 1 superbuilder every X (the smaller the better, ideally 20-25) engineers, your startup won’t be able to accomplish your full potential.

Be honest with yourself about whether you have superbuilders to round out your engineering team. Look for engineers who consistently deliver complex projects, whom other engineers naturally gravitate towards for technical guidance, and who have a track record of turning vague requirements into elegant, scalable solutions. You'll recognize them by how frequently they become the go-to person for understanding entire systems they didn't build, and by their ability to rapidly prototype solutions while simultaneously considering scale, security, and maintainability. If you don’t have engineers like this, open a requisition. You will not regret it.

Staying in the Lane
It was 2012, when i moved to US and i realized the need of learning driving. A kind friend was helping me learn it. I almost had a phobia of driving. one of the greatest fear i had, was how would i stay in the lane. And to reassure myself I kept watching closely upfront, if the car is in the lane. Now this constant watching made me veer out very often and i grew increasingly frustrated. My friend gave me an important lesson then - Dont watch the road close upfront on the lanes. but focus on the center of the lane to the far. You go where you focus on. This transformed and fixed this mistake immediately and forever. More @ https://t.co/FeWNWTbxaS
