[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

The modern man has been neutered by his own phone.

They sold you “connection” and gave you dopamine slavery.

Scrolling, liking, watching other men live while you rot on the couch with your dopamine hits and OnlyFans tabs open.
Real men don’t consume technology.
They weaponize it and produce.

They build platforms, close deals, send proposals, stack Bitcoin, invest, code their escape, and use AI to multiply their empire while other men argue in comment sections.

Your attention is your most valuable asset and you’re giving it away for free to corporations that laugh at you.

Put the phone down for 30 days.

Lift. Read. Build. Hustle.

The men who master technology and AI become unstoppable.

The men who are mastered by it die broke, lonely, and forgotten.

There is no middle ground.

This mess runs on your screen time.
Stop feeding it.

José, sin desvalorar tu opinión, también recuerda:
- Tiempos difíciles hacen personas duras.
- Personas duras hacen tiempos buenos.
- Tiempos buenos hacen personas tontas.
- Personas tontas hacen tiempos duros.
... y se repite el ciclo.
Particularmente tengo una esperanza y un optimismo ENORME en Venezuela en este momento. Cómo se mueve el mercado y demás. Creo que vamos por la primera parte del ciclo.

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

Absolutely true. How will we know what quality code is if we can't even recognize it? I've never stopped learning infrastructure and code development. Thanks @PlatziTeam, you put the correct seed on me 👍

[Lee Robinson @leerob]

You might believe you should spend less time thinking about code because of AI.

I strongly disagree! We’re watching this play out live where tons of AI generated code becomes a liability.

At the end of the day, an engineer needs to be responsible / on call for code that gets shipped to production. If you don’t understand the system you’re trying to debug, you’re probably going to have a bad time.

Yes, AI can help with all of this, if you set up the proper systems. You can have agents triage prod logs, look at errors, etc. You can speed up parts of the investigation, but an engineer needs to make the call. There might be serious customer or financial implications from that change.

I expect the trend continue for trimming dependencies, vendoring code so you can modify it directly, preferring simpler systems with fewer abstractions, and spending waaaay more time thinking about system design and code maintenance.

I’ve said this before, but it’s a great time to get familiar with CS fundamentals and some of the history behind what great software looks like. Many parts will be different in the coming years as AI progresses, but also a lot more than people realize will stay the same.

The "lump-of-labor" fallacy. I didn't know about this, but nice to know now:

You must understand how the real economy works to be safe and confident.

@platzi La verdad sí muchachos 😅
El FOMO está terrible, pero ya con sus cursos y lo que estoy aprendiendo aceleradamente tengo una ruta definida que me ayudó a calmarme y entender al máximo cómo usarla a mi favor.

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

I was thinking about this precisely in the morning, btw. Social networks isolated us enough to spike depression and loneliness, and now, AI is replacing almost every social work, which is going to make this worse. Actively thinking of social activities in my daily routine. I'm a software developer

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

@zenorocha @resend Hey @zenorocha, congratulations! I have just been following you since you started this amazing project. Happy to see that. Such inspiration you share with us 🥲👏

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

@freddier Felicidades @freddier. Quiero leerlo. Voy a esperar a que baje un poco el alboroto mientras termino de leer 2 o 3 que tengo en la lista este mes y el que viene. Sé que estará muy bueno 👍

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

I'm a BIG FAN of the @ProfCalNewport philosophy that he talks about in the "So Good They Can't Ignore You" & "Deep Work" books.
It is related to this bc when everyone is so tied to a buzz (like it is now with the AI slop), everyone starts to do and compete for the same.
But if you ignore the noise and start thinking for yourself, you'll start seeing patterns, gaps, and real needs you can cover, and, regarding the point @ylecun makes here, entirely new concepts and ways to do things.

[Big Brain AI @realBigBrainAI]

Yann LeCun (AMI Labs Founder): "The AI industry is completely LLM-pilled. Everybody is working on the same thing. They're all digging the same trench."

LeCun explains why no lab dares break from the pack:

"They are stealing each other's engineers. So they can't afford to do something different because if they start going on a tangent, they're going to fall behind the other guys. And so they're all doing the same thing."

This groupthink is exactly what drove him out of Meta.

"Meta also became LLM-pilled with sort of recent reshuffling. And it's fine, a strategic decision that maybe makes sense for them. It's just not what I'm interested in."

For @ylecun, the problem runs deeper than strategy.

LLMs are missing something essential about how intelligence actually works:

"I cannot imagine that we can build agentic systems without those systems having an ability to predict in advance what the consequences of their actions are going to be. The way we act in the world is that we can predict the consequences of our actions and that's what allows us to plan."

His broader critique is that the industry has mistaken fluency for intelligence.

Language turned out to be the easy part. The hard part is the physical world.

It's why we still don't have domestic robots or level-five self-driving cars, even though today's systems can pass the bar exam and write code.

@daviddorg I entirely deleted mine after 2 years of deliberating on this. This one is next 😅

Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software.

It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans.

@Jmfariasu ¿Qué libro es?

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

This is great, guys. Congrats. But we are still trying to understand "Cursor Automations" and the agent "In Cloud" features 😅

I cannot find real use cases for all the features you're releasing weekly xD

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

We’re introducing Cursor 3. It is simpler, more powerful, and built for a world where all code is written by agents, while keeping the depth of a development environment.

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

How in the world, after a whole day with almost no movement (working as a developer), are you going to rest by being unmoved in front of Netflix or whatever streaming platform of your preference? Go out, get some drinks, run, walk, play some real sport (bets don’t count). Say hi to some girls or boys. This is especially important today. Noise is bigger each time I get in here in X or on LinkedIn. I like to run for a minimum of 30 minutes every 2 days, and walk on the recovery days. It helps me to get my mind out of work, I feel rested, and get a runner’s high.

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

Now that I can do more work on a regular day, I cannot ignore a new feeling that I’ve been getting recently. Sometimes I’m not just ok for a day. Sometimes I feel awkward, uncomfortable, and for no reason a bit indisposed. Those days, I feel like s*h*t. Because I am used to getting 3x more work done than before, and I couldn’t.

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

There’s a bunch of bots and agents on the internet creating a background noise so annoying 🫠

I added a traversal-probe route system to one of my side projects to avoid adding noise to Sentry as my error/bug catcher. 5400+ tries to reach vulnerable routes to the application.

This is how my test looks.

Those are now going to be caught by Cloudflare, so the server doesn’t serve any resources to those annoying and wasteful attempts.

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

Not all plans need Opus or GPT-5.4/5.3, but also not all builds need to be made by Auto, or Composer2 Fast mode. It depends, and it requires a lot of criteria and understanding of the issue or requirement to assign the right model to accomplish the task.

[Jean Manzo @jdevmanzo]

I’ve realized that for some colleagues, using AI is like a disgraceful skill. Some see you with hatred. It’s unavoidable, guys. This is coming to stay. You have to do with the world as you find it, not as you’d like it to be. Whether you adapt, the world continues, and all of this will stay or improve. As a human species, we ought to grow, adapt, and learn.
