@SandyofCthulhu Mark Warburg was supposed to be a Texan on one of the Transformers films and he pronounced pecan wrong.

@ComputerrBooks You know, not all coding projects are web apps.

@CSMFHT He did know exactly how to active the hologram.

@SWT_Channel I watched it with my daughter. We loved it. Omega is one of her favorite characters. She is much better than Ray.

@ash_twtz I do iOS development I need a Mac. I also do Windows development. I need a PC.

You think all software is Web based? What do you think the browser is?

[Weldon @WeldonOnX]

@PingStruggles This leaves out Win NT 4.0, and 2000. They worked well for me.

A couple of years ago I was about to propose to my girlfriend.

Ring in hand. Speech prepared. Everything ready.

My roommate Joseph burst through the door out of nowhere, tripped over absolutely nothing, and fell face first through a glass table.

Me: (ring still in hand)

Me: (staring at Joseph on the floor)

Me: (staring at the shattered table)

Me: (staring at my girlfriend)

Mood: gone.

Joseph got a large piece of glass in his eye. Was walking around with a cotton pad over it for two months. I put the proposal on hold and helped him through the whole thing because that's what you do.

Then one day Joseph was gone.

My girlfriend was also gone.

Together.

Apparently they bonded during his recovery. Eloped without leaving a single note. I tried to find them. Never could.

So if you've ever wondered why I'm not married right now.

It's because if it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe I'd have been married a long time ago.

Where did you come from.

Where did you go.

Where did you come from cotton eye Joe.

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.

So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.

“Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.

“Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.

The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding?

A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating.

AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases.

We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy.

Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.

@theo I much prefer native development to web. I also prefer using native apps over web apps.

Web apps run inside native apps. With out all the other development the web would not exist.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

@brockpierson If you got a later version with all the Service Packs it was fine.

[Weldon @WeldonOnX]

On my team I still discuss implementation with other devs so I have not lost that.

What I have gained is I ask the AI question about things that I never discuss with other devs. I have learned things about c# and Prism that no one on my team knew. Then I share that with the rest of the team.

Sometimes the AI starts implementing something different than I intended. That gives me an idea, and I stop the AI and do something better than both our opinions.

I’ve lost nothing with AI and I’ve gained a lot.

@DevLeaderCa What kind of development do you do? Server side web? Do you do native at all?

@Troll4Trump @TSoS_ I came here to post this. Rogue One had a similar hit on a ship when they were trying to land on a planet. It did significant damage.

I saw it as an apology for this scene in TFS.

@Cernovich Every time a new technology comes out CEOs say it’s going to replace everything and it never does. He’s full of crap.
