@DerekFeehrer Shame there's no one time purchase, this looks great but I don't think I can justify the subscription - would happily buy it once though.
Itβs inspiring to realize you can grow an AI app to 8 figure ARR and sell it for presumably 9 figures despite the fact that the core functionality doesnβt really work at all
On one end, the Anthropic team is a massive user of AI to write code (80%+ of all code deployed is written by Claude Code). They ship amazingly fast.
On the other hand, seeing these beyond terrible reliability numbers suggests there might be a downside to all this speed:
Alright interns, we need to have some real talk here
I am tired of vibing on stream. I dont really like vibe coding unless its a tool i have no desire to build (how i manage things on my stream / how i write my youtube videos are great examples of things i would never build but i have). I dont like vibing the things i care about. I hate the code it generates, i hate the feeling of getting everything i ask for and nothing i want. I hate the subtle offness around vibe coded things. It is just driving me nuts. So for the next while i am going to be done vibing on stream.
I genuinely have been trying my hardest to make this work and i cannot quite put a finger on why i hate it, but i do. And i just feel so horribly guilty and wrong because i am not getting the results of "everyone else on twitter."
How am i, someone who prides themselves on making youtube videos that i think are actually good for people. To make videos that help people laugh at the silliness of tech or learn something new. But here i am not able to keep up with all these people claiming the sky is literally coming down. I just feel horrible and guilty about it.
Now i know the world is changing fast, and i want to be able to understand that change super well, be able to talk about it, be able to give really accurate opinions about it so for the last 3 months i have vibe coded an absurd amount of things. But now... i am just tired of it.
I dont want this any more. I want to be a tradcoder.
I dont know why i told everyone this, but i just have this growing sickness that is just eating me alive around vibing and i dont know how to express it.
You all are fired,

At 1703 we migrated a production SaaS from Python/React microservices to Elixir Phoenix monolith

βAs a concrete example, an engineer at Spotify on their morning commute from Slack on their cell phone can tell Claude to fix a bug or add a new feature to the iOS app,β. βAnd once Claude finishes that work, the engineer then gets a new version of the app, pushed to them on Slack on their phone, so that he can then merge it to production, all before they even arrive at the office.β

Four types of people at every company now
yes, people get 10x better when the go from bottom right to top right
but also, people get 10x worse when they go from bottom left to top left
my son is watching his first winter olympics.
he just said βdaddy, why donβt both teams just ask AI to build the optimal training strategy, and vibe code an app to track KPIs?β
he's 37 and i am so sick of him
LLM's like Elixir for the same reason's I like Elixir. Read the function, look at the module, know the full context almost immediately, very little hidden.
Nothing special about Elixir in this but we do go a long way to encourage this, __using__ crimes notwithstanding.
Anthropic just took a big swipe at OpenAI's decision to put ads in ChatGPT. Anthropic is airing ads mocking ChatGPT ads during the Super Bowl, and they're hilarious π Anthropic is also committing to no ads in Claude https://t.co/LR1v4xz9ds
I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute:
I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of.
I felt a little useless and it was sad.
