I just stumbled into a Twitch stream and my entire life was validated 5 secs in. Chris is my spirit animal.
It's worth a watch to the end.

When I swapped to a more architectural career path, I naturally evolved to writing lightweight code that could stich together in any POC or quick prototype but also powerful enough to live in prod.
Today, I do a lot of research and context gathering with AI. I have a ton of personal libraries and old code that with my style of doing things. I also still write the hard stuff.
By the time I'm done gathering everything, it's pretty much done. Just need to stitch it all together.
LLMs do something super seniors in the enterprise never do: write code.
Don't get me wrong, the amount of times I paste code back into a harness saying stuff like "wtf is this?? do you have no decency?" It still disappoints... but it mostly my tooling and I learn a few new patterns along the way.
I'll take slop-generator 5000 over a team of super-seniors, all day.

I'm having Grok Build recreate an old product of mine that hosted my client software for years.
I like to think of myself as a 100x giga-chad... but this MF cooked.
I young padawan'd it, described what I wanted, and operate somewhat like this: https://t.co/dOveH7FGLZ
Hot take:
1. Use AI for R&D and making small libraries or feature files that can become libraries.
2. STOP trying to one-shot the entire codebase - they're not built for that!
3. Focus on re-using the micro-libraries you make, and watch for ways in which they interconnect.
4. Build product.
We need to learn when to turn off the LLM and when to turn it on (giggity).

@bertyJobbo In other news, I took an internal transfer for a position that only uses python. I havenโt written python in 15 years. Weโre AI first though babyyyyyy.

My superpower is identifying tech debt.
Problem is, corporate doesnโt like hearing the truth. Attacking a design often gets translated as attacking the person.
Many positions in Enterpriseโข๏ธ are artificially held up by hand waiving and fear of hurting feelings.
My superpower is eliminating tech debt.
Problem is, corporate won't like it if I tell them we need to go back to a monolith, remove most (not all) JS dependencies and NOT rewrite everything in Rust using GenAI and unicorn farts.

So I haven't made a YouTube video or done like a thousand other things I wanted to before I made this public, but since I've already made it OSS...

Hey @grok help a brother out and give me the game plan.
Start with:
- skid steer
- bucket
- grader
- 75k debt (3y @ 0%)
- freedom ๐บ๐ธ
Now you have to pay for that sucker and convince everyone that you're not a failure. Good luck.
Here's the thing... I buy a skid steer, and I sell it and my body for some side cash to pay for it. Profit.
