@oliverhenry @SirTificate Wow. How often does it post?

AI can make work faster, but a fear is that relying on it may make it harder to learn new skills on the job.

We ran an experiment with software engineers to learn more. Coding with AI led to a decrease in mastery—but this depended on how people used it.

@lucatac0 @Grummz whoa how did you make the audio?

[dax @thdxr]

i didn't think this would be a big deal or happen so fast

but i'm seeing teams nerf their own ability to use their brains because of llm dependence

and when they run into a problem the llm can't fix they start doing really weird stuff

What Claude Code has revealed is that most people either have mediocre ideas or no ideas at all. The tool is a force multiplier for those who already know what they want to build and how to think through it systematically; it elevates competence, rewards clarity, and accelerates execution for people who would have gotten there anyway, just slower. If you have a sharp vision and can break it into coherent steps, Claude Code becomes an extension of your own capability.

But there's another mode of use entirely. For people without that clarity, the appeal is precisely that the input can stay vague; you gesture at something, hit enter, and wait to see what comes out. This is structurally identical to a slot machine: low effort, variable reward, and that intermittent reinforcement loop that hooks the susceptible. So the same tool that elevates the focused and capable is also manufacturing a kind of gambling behavior in people prone to it.

@Market_Mind_ @wabi build me an app that teaches me a new japanaese words and phrases everyday

@georgesttock sound

@dabit3 To be far any good engineer could have built this in a couple hours without ai. The time to build is not their value prop here but I get your point how this lowers barrier for everyone

@buccocapital Funniest shit this year

I’ll die on this hill:

Even on vacation, you and your team should still check in periodically.

2 minutes.
Quick peek at Slack.
Quick scan of Gmail.
Anything urgent? Handle it or route it.

If you completely disappear, you simply don’t care.

Tell me I’m wrong.

@tatealax Did the definition of organic shift? Paying tiktok influencers is still paid

[maikeru @LearnedVector]

@oscarle_x @VictorTaelin False. Faster models can reason longer

@ekuyda Any chance I get bumped up on the list? been super eager to try it!

[maikeru @LearnedVector]

@nikitabier @im_roy_lee the correct take

[maikeru @LearnedVector]

@nizzyabi That’s at least 1.2M with inflation

[maikeru @LearnedVector]

@IndianGems_ Only the last form is interesting

[maikeru @LearnedVector]

@mehulmpt it's a model string

[maikeru @LearnedVector]

@atulit_gaur But the next likely token can literally just be “I don’t know?”
