It's funny to me how much conversational Spanish I know, and how little of it I can recall when I'm in a conversation with someone that speaks Spanish.
Or, you know, maybe make the lines dotted so people in a hurry can go around the slow drivers when it is safe to do so, allowing everyone the freedom to drive in the express lanes in accordance to their risk profile instead of making it dangerous. 🙄

Here's the article: Nobel laureate Joe Stiglitz says not only can AI take your job, it’ll make the ‘tech bro’ class richer while doing so https://t.co/8frJcgkC1r
> He uses AI himself to help with research. But he frames it differently, like someone pulling records rather than as a source of judgment: “I view AI as augmenting my abilities. It’s sort of like having a team of research assistants, but faster.”
Okay, but...
People are fascinating. The article is about how AI is/will destroy the middle class and concentrate wealth in the hands of the few, and at the end the main person making this argument says he’s using AI exactly in the way he complains about other people using it. Totally blind.
@GergelyOrosz Thinking that these brilliant engineers couldn't simply relearn this part of development in a couple weeks is foolish. Because the field is about constantly learning (as someone else already pointed out) hiring for what someone already knows is short-sighted.
Claude Code cracked something open for us @every.
Now I ship to codebases I barely know, every feature we ship makes the next one easier, and non-technical members of the team use the terminal.
I’m genuinely grateful. So I brought its creators, Cat Wu (@_catwu) and Boris Cherny (@bcherny) from @AnthropicAI, on AI & I to say thank you—and to talk about everything they’ve learned from building Claude Code. We get into:
• The workflows Anthropic’s smartest engineers use to push Claude Code to its limits. Why they pit subagents against each other to get cleaner results, how they turn past code into leverage, and the slash commands and MCPs they rely on most.
• The product lessons behind one of the most loved AI agents in the world. How the team balances simplicity and power—building a tool that anyone can use, but that experts can bend to their will—and their philosophy of “unshipping,” or cutting back whenever there’s a simpler, more intuitive path to user intent.
• A peek into the future of coding with AI. The new form factors they’re experimenting with to make Claude Code more autonomous, more reliable, and more accessible to non-technical users
This is a must-watch for anyone—both technical and non-technical—who wants to learn how to use Claude Code like the people who built it.
Watch below!

My feed. The divisiveness among people is so dumb. Maybe we should all try keeping our opinions to ourselves for awhile and see if that makes things better. 🙄
If value is an integer why would Integer.parse(value) do anything other than return an integer? Test the type, it's an integer, return the integer. Do what I mean, not what I say.
"As a reminder, every child needs to turn in their $5.00 donation to support ... If your child has not already done so, please send in their $5.00 by tomorrow's deadline."
That feels more like a bill than a donation. 🤔
