Engineer casually shipping features while everything breaks.

I’ve been exploring a controversial idea in a paper I’m working on:

Under certain conditions, Instagram Reels behaves like a delayed version of TikTok.

What’s interesting is that this isn’t just cultural but it emerges from the structure of the algorithms themselves.

@AdamFard_ These are some crazy times to be alive

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

CyberSecurity or ML and Data analyisis?
What would you choose to study?

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

You can barely see a tear running down my right eye. Fair.

three side of the same SAD story

Code review is way harder than writing your own code.

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

@saen_dev I agree with that and this is a very imporant point a lot of people ignore. My favorite thing about SF is the vibe btw, people build things and put everything into their dreams and work.
That mindset is fundamental in every field, especially this one

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

@saen_dev That's so true man, Pitching is honestly one of the best ways to realize this

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

What are you building folks?

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

Ho do you realize you just finished your app and not fall in the features-loop? That's so underrated

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

Building in San Francisco is the greatest feeling ever 🙃

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

is this fine while coding?

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

Do you like this modal? Any tips?

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

What’s better than this?
I’m 20 btw 🧐

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

bro wtf

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

@DanielSmidstrup Oh, the “new algorithm”? when was it implemented? I didn’t know that

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

@KhaliqHussainnn That’s me! What are you building?

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

Do we need another LLM?

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

@FarazKhan724 Finding customers, i’m way better on building so that’s the hard part for me

A trend appears on TikTok →
The same trend often reaches Instagram 2–3 months later.

TikTok spreads content through interest clusters, so trends propagate extremely fast across unrelated users.

Instagram relies more on follower graphs which slows propagation down.

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

@DanielSmidstrup I’d say engineering and managing, coding is not engineering

[Alberto @TheAlbeDim]

@onurlyzan Great Job Nur! So proud of you
