Marc Andreessen accidentally told the truth about AI

AI is not for you

Something we've been working on...

[Florian Roth ⚡️ @cyb3rops]

If people really believe companies can stop hiring junior devs and keep a few senior developers around to review AI-written code all day, they haven’t understood senior developers.

Many of them would rather join a medieval tooth-pulling show at a fairground than spend every day maintaining AI-generated code nobody really understands

[Just a Dude Who Invests @DudeWhoInvests]

I think about this often

[Immanuel @immanuel_vibe]

nginx is boring. yeah i said it. but low-key it does things most devs have never touched

Rate limiting - built in, no plugin needed. limit_req_zone + limit_req. Stops abuse before it hits your app. literally free DDoS protection.

Microcaching - cache responses for just 1 second. sounds useless, isnt. under a traffic spike your backend goes from 10k rps to basically 0. wild.

geo module - map IPs to variables by country/region. block traffic, redirect, or serve different content. no code, just config.

try_files - serve static → fallback → proxy, in one line. SPAs love this. most devs hardcode what nginx already handles natively

sub_filter - rewrite response body on the fly. swap strings in HTML before it hits the client. useful for legacy apps you cant touch the source of.

upstream health checks (nginx plus) + max_fails/fail_timeout in OSS - nginx will pull a dead backend out of rotation automatically. your users never see it.

nginx has been doing edge logic since before "edge" was a buzzword. its not boring. you just haven't read the docs))

And a few nginx commands that actually matter in prod

nginx -t — test config before reloading

nginx -s reload — zero-downtime reload

nginx -T — dump full parsed config (I use this all the time)

curl -s localhost/nginx_status — live connection count by status (requires stub_status on in config)

#nginx #devops #webdev #backend #sysadmin #selfhosted #linux

People often ask me why do I choose to do pre-increments in my for-loops instead of post-increments. The answer is actually very simple. I don't fucking know, stop asking me that.

[Mehdi @cherqaouidev]

@lonelysloth_sec replacing write it once execute it forever with paying for tokens with every execution.
The people pushing this are selling shovels during gold rush, they make money with every token consumption.

[LonelySloth @lonelysloth_sec]

Replacing reusing code with sharing prompts is possibly the worst idea in the entire history of software engineering.

Of course the people pushing for it have no idea what software engineering actually entails, much less it’s history.

[Florian Roth ⚡️ @cyb3rops]

I’ve deliberately not published blog posts on useful detection ideas and rule-writing methods because I didn’t want LLMs to absorb them.

So those ideas stayed private and were shared only with a small group.

I doubt I’m the only one making that call. And that probably has consequences for the community over time - not just ours, but any community.

[Casey Muratori @cmuratori]

I wanted to use Notch's criticism of DLSS to talk a little bit about GPU hardware, so I did an impromptu livestream last night. VOD is here if you're curious:

[aaalex.hl @aaalexhl]

I've reached a point in my engineering career where I just dont care anymore

I used to want to solve complex problems, design new systems, learn new architecture etc.

But something clicked in my brain last year and I just don't give a fuck like zero drive to keep doing this

An unused shader concept for a client

[Indie Game Joe @IndieGameJoe]

This indie dev spent 1,400+ days building his game, Tangy TD, completely from scratch in C++.

Seeing him and his wife react after the game earned $250,000 in its first week after launch is honestly beautiful.

AI is making CEOs delusional

It can 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸, 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝘆.

Researchers at EPFL’s Laboratory of Intelligent Systems built 𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗡, a robot inspired by how birds move between land and air.

Most drones need open space and stable launch points.

𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗡 works differently.

→ It can 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻
→ It can 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁

What I find interesting here is the design philosophy.

Instead of forcing robots to adapt to machines, engineers are studying how 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

That approach could unlock new possibilities:

→ 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 in difficult terrain
→ 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in tight or cluttered environments
→ 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 where drones cannot easily land

Small shift in design.

Someone made a game in which you have to program a drone using a simple python-like language to fully automate various farming tasks
