Full-stack dev who writes, thinks, and ships.
Thoughts on code, AI & the messy reality of building software.

@claudeai 10-15 years of this and we might have a generation that can't think through problems without AI assistance.
outsourcing thinking has consequences we're not measuring yet 🤷‍♂️

@babu_im08 sometimes being right doesn't matter if nobody listens 🤷‍♂️

One of the best interview questions I've heard:

"Tell me about a feature you pushed back on.

Why? And what happened?"

They're not testing your technical skills.

They're testing whether you can disagree professionally.

What's a feature or decision you pushed back on that turned out to be the right call?

@Polymarket lost at your own specialty. that's not a benchmark problem that's a problem problem 😭💀

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@sahill_og if GitHub charged from day one, something else would've eaten the market by 2012.
the community is self-healing. one company going paid just creates space for the next free tool 🤷‍♂️

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@shafu0x 7 rounds and still hired the wrong person 😭💀

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@growing_daniel optimized for sounding confident not for actually saying something 😭💀

@YashHustle_22 Ubuntu

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@trikcode bro forgot Gemini in the $0 revenue budget 😭💀

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@AKirtesh paid $20 to get treated like a free user with extra steps 😭💀

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@shub0414 valid point but Google made it impossible to avoid AI answers even if you want to.
you open Google to avoid ChatGPT and Gemini is already there waiting 🤷‍♂️

Fable 5 just dropped.

Costs $50 per million output tokens.

I'm a developer building a side project.
That's not a tool for me.
That's a tool for the company that's about to replace me.

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

The biggest mistake developers make isn't bad code.

It's trying to build everything.

More features.
More pages.
More settings.
More complexity.

The hardest skill in software isn't writing code.

It's saying: "Not now."

Every feature you add has a cost.

The best products aren't the ones that have everything.

They're the ones that know what to leave out.

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@babu_im08 paying to fund the thing replacing you 💀

@dark_coderz Hell nahh

[Imtiyaz Nandasaniya @CodeClashIG]

@shub0414 the model got better. the distribution problem didn't change.
everyone is building. nobody is talking to users first.
faster shipping with no direction is just faster failing 🤷‍♂️

@babu_im08 One looks like it was created to conquer galaxies.

The other looks like it asks if you've eaten today.

Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
