@Fried_rice Well, even at @AnthropicAI nobody reads it anyway ;)

@systematicls @corr_lator The last generation of true artisans were writing assembly code on Commodore 64s :)

It's time for some #jazzcoding (paging @karpathy :)

Traders in the 80s spent a lot on fashion models and coke. Times change, now it’s language models and diet coke.

My view is less polarized. I have been coding since I was a kid and always saw it as a means of solving real problems, but also find beauty in understanding things in a deeper, more formal way – it helps clarify your thinking about the problem domain. There are also some things you cannot solve well without “mechanical sympathy” for the machinery under the hood. I use agentic coding every day now, but still care for “craftcoding” and make sure not to lose the edge of actually understanding how my code and the computing below that works.

@systematicls thanks, that's an interesting insight!

Viktor, the Cleaner: According to github, I’ve produced a net negative of 400k lines of code over the years (400k added, 800k removed)

[Viktor Szathmáry @phraktle]

Since everything is vibecoded now, I think we can just call it "coding", and call the old way of doing it "craftcoding". What do you think @karpathy? :D

@therobotjames Have you read the excellent sci-fi series, Orthognal, by the Australian author Greg Egan?

[Viktor Szathmáry @phraktle]

@CryptoHayes All I understood was “hyperliquid” :)

@GergelyOrosz If you hated getting up at 2am to an alert, you’ll love getting up at 2:30am, after an AI messed with prod and gave you a summary with some random hallucinations included for good measure :)

@elonmusk @grok Open source?

@elonmusk An even better idea would be if Orban & co stopped stealing everyone’s tax income at an obscene pace.
