Ai harnessing is the new programming paradigm. It is very powerful but very complex. As far as I can see, just as complex as the most advanced full stack architecture. What’s really interesting to me, an ancient nerd, are the completely new use cases that Ai harnessing addresses.

@elonmusk 💯

@jackcoder0 Yes, and economists are always correct. 👍 🤦‍♂️

Walked 19500 steps today, had only consumed 1350 calories … started getting dizzy. 😵‍💫 Refuelled with 2 eggs and 4 small slices of dark bread. Electrolyte water. All is well. You’ll got to watch it when old like me. I’m on a cut to 15% body fat.

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

Spec-driven AI development sounds great in theory, but if your plan is to write one giant monolithic spec, hand it to an AI, then go grab a coffee while it builds your app… you’re probably heading for trouble.

The better approach is hybrid.

@joeroganhq Yes, one if my mentors in the 1990s told me he’d rather hire a nice guy with good skills over an asshole genius.

Many are taking PEDs and GLP-1 … uh supplements, and they result in a very distinctive look on people. To my eyes, it looks unnatural. I think in time the aesthetic disposition of society will move to favour natural looking physiques and faces. Best to avoid IMHO.

Coding has always been an aspect of software development. Not the full game.

Jeff Bezos is right: we are about to enter a jobs and productivity boom. The recent layoffs (Meta and Amazon) are about 10% of their total employees, and this is to be expected after the hiring boom that happened during the COVID years. Also, the Metaverse is a flop.

Jeff Bezos reveals why he thinks AI will cause a labor shortage, not mass unemployment

"There's so many people who are afraid AI is going to take their job. I think there's going to be a labor shortage as a result"

"All these smart people keep saying there's going to be no more radiologists because AI can read X-rays better, no more software engineers because AI can program better. These people are wrong"

"What's really going to happen is it's going to elevate all of these people. You've been digging out a basement with a shovel, and somebody is about to hand you a bulldozer"

"We're going to have so much productivity that a lot of people with two-earner income households, one of them is going to drop out of the workforce"

"I predict we will actually have deflation of certain core things. Food will get cheaper and housing construction will get cheaper"

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

@jaynitx Jeff is 100% correct. 👍 Golden age coming.

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

@ggreenwald Claims about Ai have been greatly exaggerated because nothing like a doomsday story to drive investors. This is from the perspective of a 30 year veteran in software development. Ai is powerful but not nearly as powerful as the tech bros would have you believe. IMHO

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

@BernieSanders I am a 30 year developer with no Ai financial interest; the Ai tech bros decided to leverage fear to motivate people to invest … a very cynical approach IMHO. Having used Ai, and with a devs eye, I am comfortable saying that Ai is not an existential threat - not even close.

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

@laralogan This is clear, your physical movements will impact the brain. I designed curriculum based on the premise.

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

@elonmusk Have you considered licensing FSD to other manufacturers? Is it a good financial move for Tesla? That said, FSD tech or the like, should be mandatory because it will certainly save many lives and reduce accidents considerably. I have a dumb self driving car - it’s a game changer.

@MerlijnTrader Buffett hasn’t outperformed the market in what 20 years?

As the Ai stack continues to develop, it reminds me more and more of the paradigm shift I witnessed when the Web was in ascendancy. Ai development s the new development. Opportunities are mind blowing. 🤯

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

China is making great progress in the Ai race with nerfed resources. Perhaps an emphasis and investment in STEM education rather than the arts, has resulted in a much deeper pool of top-tier talent. The state bankrolling the arts, is probably an indicator of declining empire.

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

The improvements in the base models from my POV,, are incremental. The key today is in effective harnessing. Harnessing is the new programming language.

[Stefan Mischook @killersites]

I’ve seen demos of GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.7 generating websites; not impressed. They are basically smart templates. Think of combining a Wordpress template with Ai based text and image generators. When I saw the Claude demo website it had a distinct design signature - a template.
