"Programming is dead."

"Software engineering is over."

That's the narrative being played out now right?

People are fear mongers.

Turn fear into opportunity.

@CoachDanGo Make it 60.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

Writing helps in a slightly different way.

When you see the words in physical form something clicks in the brain and you see it totally differently to the way you thought about it in your head.

This is so important for critical thinking.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

I'm glad people are becoming aware of this now.

I started writing in a notebook early this year as I started to use AI coding more and more and it's been a blessing.

unironic productivity hack for 2026

use a pencil and paper to write down your ideas

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

It's great in general to just digest your thoughts.

Take a long quiet walk and see.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@CoachDanGo I think I know why, but I'll ask anyway.

Why do they have max assertions on these? Can people be too fit? 😂

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@tekbog Unfortunate case of might makes right

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

Ignorance is bliss...

[voided @voided]

The moment you realize what life looks like for people who don't know anything about AI, Politics or the Economy.

@sudobunni If you pay attention

@bryan_johnson Everyone and no-one

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@ChShersh People are tired of choice and control being taken away from them.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

Who'd have thought The Pope, of all people, would be popping off based takes on AI?!

It shouldn't be called a based take really, it's just common sense really but most will think this is baseeeeed.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@mattpocockuk People forget that brevity brings clarity.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

Even crazier that it's absolutely right!

[Prompter @PromptLLM]

Crazy take from Claude

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

Oh no... please... please no!!!

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude.

In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@zeeg 100%

For real productivity and for averting brain and skill loss.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

Very, very wise words.

[dax @thdxr]

some people are suffering from an extreme addiction to attention

have seen it on here where someone's post blows up and the taste of attention ruins them

they end up mechanically searching for anything they can say or do to try and experience it again

they end up an empty husk with zero sense of self, pushed to extremes and entirely programmed by the algorithm

it's even worse because you can monetize this addiction and make a career out of it

and so much of what's wrong with the world is downstream from these people

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@CultureCrave Ghost in the Shell vibes

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@Dexerto Need

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

I think it's due to a mixture of curiosity, inspiration and greed.

People want to make the next BIIIIIIIG thing.

They don't see the value in the thing they were trying to build before.

[Adam Wathan @adamwathan]

Feels like we're all just building "things for building other things" and not a lot of "things" anymore.

[Liam Walsh @LiamWalshTech]

@ChShersh I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of software engineers didn't know how LLMs work. Even though it's 2026.
