@StanleyMasinde_ I’ve used mine for over 5 years. Just recently ditched the desk for a standing one but the chair is still going strong.

"In the next 10 years, skilled labor is going to become the most valued positions in the entire market."

"AI can't wire a panel, run conduit, or weld a beam in the rain."

"When a data center needs power, when a city needs new infrastructure, when the lights go out, you're not calling ChatGPT, you're calling an electrician, a plumber, an iron worker, a lineman."

Where is the lie?

“Developer time is more expensive than run time”

Okay, let’s save 4 hours of dev time and waste millions of seconds of user time

Man, the native development tooling is so bad. Why does the preview has to reload every time I switch tabs? Am I missing a setting that keeps it open and preserves the state?

@onequy @SebastianRoehl Damn ..shame that I didn’t know this 😆

[Alvin ⬢ @alvyynm]

This country doesn't belong to William Ruto, and if there is no country for William Ruto, there is no country for you - President Ruto

@ndiritu_michael Yes, they will.

File trees in IDEs belong on the right because code is written left to right. When you toggle the file tree (on the right side) it doesn’t disrupt the position of your code. You can just make the code window narrower.
This is not the case if the file tree is on the left side.

It's 2025 and most content is still written for humans instead of LLMs. 99.9% of attention is about to be LLM attention, not human attention.

E.g. 99% of libraries still have docs that basically render to some pretty .html static pages assuming a human will click through them. In 2025 the docs should be a single your_project.md text file that is intended to go into the context window of an LLM.

Repeat for everything.
