@joelnet Well planned with checklists and understanding before building with tests first seems to work well. It's probably people not having a process and expecting magic, or fleets of agents that churn wildly without building what they asked.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet Jeez. This Claude guy is mildy infuriating.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet Watch out, Claude is a liar!

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet Every. Day.

@rosehorowitch While it definitely plays a role in the decline for the need of entry level developers, it's not the only reason why layoffs occurred. It took me a while to discover another hidden factor, which has been buried in tax code changes, removal of Section 174. https://t.co/CekckItSaf

@slicknet Claude Code works pretty well for me. This is coming from an AI doubter. Should include it on your evaluation.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet Yuk.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@jayclouse This is the transition you can barely explain to those without children. Enjoy all of this!

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@jayclouse You don't. You snuggle up with them before they grow up.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet I may have to get a blue sky account if you're over there...

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@Aportzline Still good news, even if we won't see him tonight!

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet Man, there's no room for egos when we all just want to build cool stuff and solve hard problems.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@24WeaverDC Thank you for all the updates.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@jayclouse @YouTube You're so lucky to have "TV time"! ;)

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet Neither. They both have a high number of issues and pull requests, which isn't a great sign for future changes. Your future self will be maintaining the forked version or be back choosing an alternative.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet Now that's fun.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet I still prefer the let usage.

[Ryan Nickell @rsnickell]

@joelnet I suppose more context would be helpful. And why var vs let? My preference would be let for reassigned variables.
