Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger on getting hired at 18, designing Intel's chips while finishing his PhD, and arguing with his Stanford professors:

"I'm 16 years old. I accidentally win a scholarship. I go to tech school, skip my last year and a half of high school, and Intel comes recruiting when I'm 18 years old."

"The interviewer, he writes on his page, and I was number 12 that he interviewed that day... He says, 'Smart, aggressive, arrogant. He'll fit right in.'"

"I was engineer number four on the 386. Architect and design manager for the 486. All of that while doing my bachelor's, my master's and PhD work... Learning by day, and putting it to practice at night."

"One of the professors postulated a new carry lookahead adder design in one of my classes at Stanford. So I said, 'Well, I'm working on the 386 carry lookahead adder, so let me go try it.'"

"I come back two days later to the professor and I said, 'It doesn't work.' The next two class periods were just me and the professor arguing over why his design didn't work."

People don’t hate math; they hate the feeling of being lost. They hate the compounded debt of unlearned prerequisites.

When you stop reading books, you lose your sharpness of speech, critical thinking, and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. DON'T EVER STOP READING.

"The purpose of software engineering is to control complexity, not to create it." – Pamela Zave

More true now than ever.

Just f*cking do it.

If you’ve been struggling with a multitude of sandboxes for agents, MxC is a sandbox solution that works across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

A real platform opportunity for developers across the ecosystem. Process, session, micro VM, and deep integration into agent ID on Windows.

The AI business is nascent, and it can surprise in either direction, delivering better or worse results than expected., and both positive and negative surprises will play through in both financial statements and markets. There is turbulence ahead. https://t.co/zmbfhhJ7y0

You just need that one ADHD person on your team who gets frustrated by every source of slowness and optimizes everything to be faster

.@JensenHuang says "if not for Windows, Nvidia wouldn't have been founded."

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

Great to partner with NVIDIA as we kick off this next chapter for Windows.

Thank you @JensenHuang and @sriramk for joining us today!

Decades later I still find Joel on Software as relevant as when I first read it.

If you haven't read it, check out The Law of Leaky Abstractions.

Keep it in mind when someone tells you coding agents are another level of abstraction. As Joel and Thariq say sooner or later you'll end up needing to understand the lower level.

@amankrai28 Yes, but their rhythm is going to be very up-and-down sleep wake throughout the 24 hour cycle and much of their sleep is REM for the first year. Sunlight still very beneficial, but obviously their eyes and skin are very sensitive so act accordingly.

Here's an idea for an AI startup : gify but custom, on-demand image/sticker generation from prompt integrated into DM/chat apps

[maharshi @maharshii]

“you can outsource your thinking, but you can not outsource your understanding” has to be the quote of the decade

The only good thing that came out of agentic coding is people discovering how great git worktrees are....if you aren't using git worktrees then you aren't being as productive as you should. I'm sorry I don't make the rules

Ramanujan wasn’t skipping proofs. He was hiding his chain of thought to prevent distillation.

Hardy: “Show your work.”
Ramanujan: “Sorry, reasoning tokens aren’t exposed via the API.”

[Eesa @gv_sk1]

Worst part is : I have seen people modify application code to shoehorn aspire into a project that never even needed it. Very counter intuitive and counter productive

[Dustin Górski @dustedcodes]

Aspire is the best product that solves a problem that nobody had and nobody uses.

[Тsфdiиg @tsoding]

What I like about not using LLM-based tools is writing code is so tedious you are looking for solutions to write less code or no code at all and you usually find them. Which improves your project dramatically in a longer run.
