Writing code for years, now building things you can touch. Hardware, AI, and lessons along the way.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

AI made writing software cheap.

So I'm learning the thing it can't ship for me yet: hardware.

Software engineer, zero electronics background. I'll post every lesson here, mistakes included.

Where should a software person start?

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

every week there's a new "best coding model". the founders winning are the ones who stopped switching and started shipping.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

forward deployed engineer postings are up ~8x in a year. freelancers have been doing this job for years, they just never had the title.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@tridevgurung once you start noticing fdes, they're suddenly everywhere. the title just caught up with the work.

@jesusrca an agent that can edit the canvas and the code in one place is the version i'd actually use.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@enoughtanu cheap code just moved the expensive part into review, tests, and production.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@LingqingM fewer engineers, more judgment, less typing. the salary follows whoever can tell when the ai is wrong.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@CybeReanna vibe coding didn't invent leaked keys. it just made committing them a lot faster.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@dianne_alter @conductor_build being able to swap agents without rebuilding your whole workflow is underrated. models change every month now.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@JustinFerriman software engineering has died more times on x than any codebase i've actually shipped.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@dand31 technical founders already sell daily, they just call it 'explaining why my architecture is right.'

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@usamariaz030 talking to people before writing code. ai made building cheap, so knowing who pays is the only edge left.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@Josephyala 'which tests it actually ran' is the whole post. agents are very confident about tests they never ran.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@EthanLinAI skills that force a spec before code fix more agent mess than any new model release.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@Bjoern_Hev funny how we finally wrote the onboarding doc once the new hire was a robot.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@Art1000x every model looks worse the week the next one ships. that's marketing, not a regression.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@asad0801 @kane_cli an agent grading another agent's homework still needs someone who knows what done looks like

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@oluwabanjo_ read every line the ai writes before you ship it. that habit alone puts you ahead.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@sudhamjayanthi most people judge ai by the version they tried once in 2023. that's the whole gap.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@StevBuilds 'building in public', minus the churn numbers.

[Saji @AbbasiSajad]

@PrashantByte09 you forgot the most 2026 item: a waitlist with more bots than humans.
