@RoxiR0633390 El nivel de ansiedad se disparó terriblemente. Antes, sin internet, sin celulares, incluso las primeras computadoras donde aprendias con un libro, sin conexion. Los tiempos eran otros, la (auto) exigencia era menor en general.
Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week.
Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round.
I said sure, but first can you do me a favor
hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick.
He froze.
Didn't move.
Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me.
That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does.
These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now.
The setup is always the same:
- flattering DM
- real-sounding project
- rushed timeline
- a "quick step" before the call
that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise.
If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam.
Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.
Opus 5.5 is the result of your feedback.
It communicates clearly, it's cheaper per token than Opus 5.0 with the intelligence of Fable 5.1, it’s very token efficient and works across every effort level.
We're also increasing 5h rate limits & giving you a banked reset.
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.
I talked to Sid & Robert about building Claude Code: how much things have changed, how hard it's been to keep up with model capabilities and also what we miss about software engineering before AI.

I remember our really peculiar (mad) CEO in the company. One day he discovered we had a new 100mb switch when everything was 10mb hubs. He came shouting "Hook me to the switch!" And we had to do wonders to get that done. That guy's joy when he got that.. Way before the internet!
The executives said the boardroom Wi-Fi “feels slow.”
Speed test: 487 Mbps.
Apparently 487 Mbps has bad energy.
So I created a new network:
EXECUTIVE_PRIORITY_5G
Same access points.
Same internet connection.
Same VLAN.
I just gave it a more expensive name.
Connected the CEO.
He opened a website and immediately said:
“Oh wow, this is way faster.”
By lunch, five VPs had asked for access.
I told them executive bandwidth is limited and I can only approve users with a genuine business requirement.
They are now competing for access to Wi-Fi they already had.
Performance is unchanged.
Satisfaction is through the roof.
.@realmikefox is one of the best people I know. He has always been this way, since the day I met him. Clever, funny, sarcastic, loyal, wicked smart, tireless, and fun. He doesn’t want pity. If you take anything from seeing him inside this body-that-has-other-ideas, remember what he once told me. “I got dealt a pretty good card hand. This was just in there.” He’s the same guy he ever was.
Love you forever, my brother Mike.
