Exactly! The UAE is a land of safety and opportunity. I am grateful to have the privilege of living here and calling it my second home.

I have signed the UAE National Pledge

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Founders must stop trying to building 2010-era businesses with 2026-era technology.

Don't try to rebuild Foursquare or Yelp.

Don't try to recreate Basecamp by 37 Signals with $10/mo SaaS pricing.

Don't underprice! If it works it's worth a lot more.

Don't be tempted to become "Tech enabled PE" with revenue tricks.

The rules of tech changed with AI. Play the new game.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

This gives so much positivity to the entire Arab world, not just the UAE

If you stand with the UAE- REPOST now. Share the picture.Stand against the Islamic regime in Iran. Stand with humanity. Stand with civilization against darkness, against backwardness. Choose your side. Silence is not neutral.

Would you be interested if JetBrains releases a totally local AI agent, working 100% on your laptop, using our code insight engine and deeply integrated into the IDE?

Yes, it will be probably 1 month behind the very recent frontier models, but no token blood bath anymore

WDYT?

Before AI I used to work around 10 hours a day. Now thanks to AI I work ~14 hours a day.

Zig's async model is one of the most elegant designs I've ever seen.

Most languages bake async right into the runtime. JS has an event loop. Go has a built-in scheduler.

Zig splits it out. The new I/O model is a pluggable. It allows you to express async primitives, like an async function, and then pick the execution model. So e.g. if you want multi-threaded, you just plug it in. Or you want an event loop, you can plug that in too.

Async primitives are just values (Futures) and the execution model is pluggable (Io).

So good!

- Drafted a blog post
- Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours.
- Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing!
- Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite.
- LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true.
- lol

The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

I can't remember the last time I was truly stuck on a coding problem. AI agents changed this. Going from "sometimes blocked" to "always moving" is wild.

It’s easier than ever to write a lot of code very quickly.

I think it’s actually still quite difficult to ship a lot of code without lowering the bar.

Technical debt is real. It will ultimately slow you down if ignored.

This war made me realise the UAE is my country, not just 'the country I live in' https://t.co/phvz9foeVs

[محمد بن زايد @MohamedBinZayed]

To all those who call the UAE home and guests in our beloved nation.

The UAE places its security and the protection of all citizens, residents, and visitors at the very top of its priorities. With God’s grace, the UAE is fully prepared to confront these threats.

I extend my deepest appreciation to our brave armed forces, our committed security services, and all national institutions and teams working tirelessly to keep our country safe. They represent the highest standards of readiness and cooperation. We are truly proud of them.

I would also like to underscore my sincere gratitude for the awareness shown by our community of Emiratis and our resident brothers and sisters, partners in this nation, who have expressed their genuine love and loyalty to the UAE through both words and actions. In the UAE, everyone is Emirati through their love for this land and their contributions to it.

May God have mercy on the victims and grant the injured a speedy recovery. With God’s blessing, the UAE—the land of Zayed—will remain strong in its unity, steadfast in defending its sovereignty, and steadily advancing towards the future.

We’re at that stage in software dev where if you don’t first do a thorough agent review of your code and handle all feedback before you ask for code review, it’s like you didn’t even run a basic linter and code formatter. You’re wasting human reviewer time.
