🧑‍💻 Software Dev | AI & Cloud Tech Enthusiast 🚀 Solving real-world problems with code, AI tools & cloud arch 💡 I use Arch, btw!(only crashes sometimes)

@ibuildthecloud Loved Jetbrain for all the integration but it is heavy. Can't go back to VScode, and using Neovim/LazyVim for quick edits.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@forgebitz There will be no bugs if you don't ship anything. The best code is no code at all. 😀

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

One way you can resolve this is by treating AI as a fellow dev before starting coding. I have added a prompt - "in the planning phase, let's debate if this is the best approach. Review the ideas before building it".

I miss the back and forth with Devs during PR reviews. I value the discussion because it helps both person to grow. It's not about who is right or wrong.
Nowadays, ....
It's like that iron man scene. "Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?"

Situation 1: dev A thinks approach X is correct, dev B thinks Y is the right way. They argue and try to convince each other.

Situation 2: dev A thinks approach X is correct, tells the LLM to implement it.

There is SO MUCH learning in Situation 1, lost when using LLMs....

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@GergelyOrosz I feel the same. I try to ask AI to become that Dev and have a back and forth. But, due to time constraints, I am being forced to let it rip for projects that I don't care about.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@mitsuhiko Kinda ironic. Didn't they make fun of Rust early on and backed Bun on the initial run?

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

Oh wow. This is huge.

I am seeing issues with GitHub too. UI issue, PR details cannot be open and I am still sus about the changes I committed but no where to be found

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. https://t.co/DQDemHdytV

@GergelyOrosz So, who is getting fired?

[Roman @romxdev]

Unpopular opinion: React completely destroyed web development

We spent a decade learning a highly complex library just to reinvent server-side rendering all over again

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@HeyAnsariUX Looks great.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

News:
Anthropic has released the Kitchen feature. Soon mothers will be out of their jobs cause Claude Code can make your a 🥪.
Devs/CEOs: Mom, you are fired.
Mom:

@ChShersh @dirtyculture Bro, chill. That is just mean. Get off your high horse.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@r0ck3t23 Me: Create an app that will create the next unicorn startup.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

Coz people wanna show off quantity rather than quality. No one seems to care about quality. "Look mah, I wrote 10k LOC with no hands."

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

i politely asked... why are we still doing this?

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@Jason @OpenAI @xai @Gemini @claudeai What do you think about Claude trying to create a walled garden around their API and impose restrictions around third party tools like OpenCode?

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@fireship_dev @uidotdev @tylermcginnis Q. Is Jeff a real human being?

Unclear.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@mattpocockuk AI tips in small doses was exciting. But, we started seeing it everywhere. I mean everywhere. Even at dinner tables and family gatherings. And people are craving for the alternative.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

@notch Interesting take.

[YP | Cloud Tech & AI Dev @firacloudtech]

Fixing a bug right now. It's gonna take me till next year.
