Sometimes I don't take an optional day-off, but then decide to not do any work (optionally)

I couldn't find one decent non-ai fridge magnet when in udaipur last weekend. Sadly the end of fridge magnet art 🥲

@honestsugam Very useful - considering your data is not leaving your phone - curious if it works though - different banks send your txn history in a different password protected file - that needs to be unlocked and scraped for the bill and reward amount

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

@honestsugam Does this have sms/gmail integration or are these only mocks?

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

@honestsugam Fun stuff

@honestsugam @ACTFibernet 🔫🔫 shots fired 🔫🔫

All in all, from my POV, companies don't require the same number of engineers anymore all else being equal

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

The latest opus model finished a 17-21 JDK upgrade within ~1.5 hours with minor prodding and instructions. It would have taken a week's dev effort otherwise.

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

The inputs required from an SDE are honestly very limited now. Yes systems thinking etc etc is required - but honestly once a framework and direction is set, this doesn't really change much - assuming fixed requirements

Comments on x should disable pasting - one way to add friction to endless AI slop

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

@royyalapulao The new ER head in the Pitt keeps advocating for this lmao. I understand this is for indic languages, but still seeing practical AI in tv shows is gg.

@SwaDotDev @divyaporwal_ Atlassian is on a hiring freeze rn just fyi

Deploying and investing the money you've already made is a bigger headache. Nobody knows which of these AI companies will win, and what the right valuation is.

[Akshat Shrivastava @Akshat_World]

If AI is taking away your job, your investments should go to AI.

This sounds contrary but think about it.

1) If AI fails: your job gets saved. You survive.
2) If AI booms & your job fails: your investments offset your job loss.

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

It's only a matter of time until a large % of swe jobs are no longer required. It's really difficult going about doing your thing knowing this.

[Sam Altman @sama]

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute:

I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of.

I felt a little useless and it was sad.

[Wassel @wasselovski]

@sama

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

I order something on myntra for x, post delivery I see that its selling for y.

y<<x

I returned and ordered again. Just give me a feature where you give me the diff in price, and save money on the delivery/return.

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

I once again blame bollywood (znmd and dch) for furthering my belief in this. Will continue to hold my friendships to the highest standards, but will think 100x before promoting an acquaintance to a friend in the future

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

I used to believe that male friendships were indestructible. Turns out I was naive - and the friendships I shared weren't really tested by anything substantial.
Either that, or lodu acquaintances to start with ig?

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

@ShikharSSU Lol I bet all sorts of meetups keep happening with Reddit junta.

[abhijeet @pagalguy05]

On Duolingo for 70+ days now, Replacing doom scrolling with French lessons instead💪

@KabhiKabhiShuks Did you move to the US?
