@levelsio @octal Wtym? I have a VMC system at my house 😂

AI & llms are an incredible tool, i use them every day... even burned over 3 billion tokens last year (2.5 in cursor alone)

but AI amplifies whatever process you feed it - including no process at all. Garry's site is what happens when you replace code review with a shipping streak counter.

A Duolingo streak for `git push` 🔥

the automatons did exactly what they were told. nobody told them to stop.

this is a client-side audit only, of what the browser downloads. i didn't read a single line of the source slop. idc, qed 🧵

Wow, I totally disagree with this statement. At the current state, AI actually amplifies the developer to developer difference. If you were a 10x developer, you had good ideas + architectural clarity, this is a brutal advantage when using AI. Steering is a fundamental part of today's AI development.

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it.

It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways.

Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo...

Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all.

So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design.

They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job.

Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before.

Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

@JoshStrifeHayes Welcome to the community! 😂

[Addy Osmani @addyosmani]

Chrome DevTools now supports *individual* network request throttling!

Folks have been asking for this for years! DevTools now allows developers to simulate slow network conditions for specific requests rather than the entire page.

This helps in testing how a web application performs and handles issues when specific resources (like images, scripts, or API calls) are slow to load.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

i am convinced that software devs have a speed problem

they think the #1 issues is writing code faster... its not. its fixing the code that is already there to stop being utter garbage (as a garbage code connoisseur)

quality is really lacking these days, yet quantity has never been higher

Este gajo é o candidato do LIVRE à Presidência da República!😄😆 Aqui o vemos na versão com brincos (quando ainda não era candidato) e na versão sem brincos, depois de se candidatar. Se o LIVRE não existisse tinha que ser inventado!😂🤣

what’s that goal scored against your club that was so good you couldn’t even be mad

What the actual fuck!?

For those out of the loop:

There's a court order for all Spanish ISPs to block all of @Cloudflare addresses during weekends (and partly weekdays) in an attempt to block pirate football streaming sites. Essentially blocking half of the internet in Spain and disrupting businesses

As soon as your idol gets exposed we need to start focus on other things... What about 90% of your own twits? Shouldn't you been focusing on other things as well?

[Grummz @Grummz]

Look, I get it. It's only fair if you get accused of only pretending to be good at games, that it's fair game to call out the accuser's own gaming abilities.

Asmongold: He's faking it.
Elon: No, I'm a great gamer, Asmongold is a bad gamer.
Asmongold: Why did you say that? That was uncalled for.

This feel so ridiculous.

I'm just think we need to be focusing on other things. I don't care who did what here, in the grand scheme of things.

[mou @mou55981652]

the cyclist who will improve the most in 2025 is Joao Almeida, don't ask me how I know this, but remember these words and follow his season closely. As much as Pog improved from 2023 to 2024, Almeida will improve in 2025

Can this guy post anything that isn't community noted by his own platform?

They sent Liam Lawson to do the fastest lap , I’m starting to agree with Zak Brown on that point about the B team

@ThePrimeagen I guess my hobby pays really well!
