F*cking annoying that both Spotify and YT take over the links you share in other apps. Messaged a YT link to a friend and YT app notified me that some kid i don’t know accepted the chat. Panicked and had to ask my friend if it’s him. Turns out it’s a friend of his kid

AI bros have discovered Clawdbot.

Brace yourselves. Shitstorm incoming

It's wild that you can now tweak your coding agents to your liking. Just like you can tweak your terminal.

At least Claude Code. You have prompts, hooks, plugins, status line, commands, sub agents at your disposal.

Vibe coding has turned into vipe coding because of tech bros 💩

[ilya mikailov @codechips]

Why do devs always overcomplicate?

Like for example with vibe coding. First they can't prompt properly and get bad results. Then they solve the problem by generating 1K lines monster prompts with AI and feed it back to AI and think they will get good results.

Never works

Wtf. This is crazy

@semicognitive @GovSignals Cool! Congrats!

@Tuttofaree @a16z This is great but would be interesting to know the actual ops costs (datacenter + GPU)

[ilya mikailov @codechips]

LLMs are super expensive to train but how much does it cost to run inference on them? Are there any known examples or guesses of the actual average monthly costs?

Sometimes when I talk to people I think about what medieval cloth they would wear and what their trade would be

Yes we live in an AI bubble but many don't realize how much AI helped propell surrounding technologies and design forward.

AI forced web frameworks to become good at streaming and realtime.

UI and UX changed. Voice and image over textboxes, smart loaders, etc

Damn YT's algos are good. I came to look up a specific thing only to stay watching random videos for 20 minutes. And then I tried to remember what I actually came for

Claude AI is like a freshly graduated "top of class" code bootcamp student on meth

[ilya mikailov @codechips]

there are people who write about AI and there are those who actually build stuff with it

Is cloud for rich companies or poor companies?

Cloud costs $$$ but if you are rich you can build your own private "cloud" that will be much cheaper than THE cloud.

So what type of companies is the cloud good for?

[ilya mikailov @codechips]

hmmm ....

devs have zero sense of humor 😂

I decided to convert all my projects to Next.js:

- Rails and Go are too tiring 😔
- Rails doesn't scale
- In Go, I wrote so many `if err != nil` statements that I can't read my code anymore

On the flip side, Next.js offers amazing speed gains and syntax clarity.

@Qw4z1 @dieworkwear stay away from elbow patches and you'll be all good
