Oddly this is the most sane place on the internet (which is not really that sane)

@buildingcoolshi Dev is finally employed?

in the whole optimism as performative mantra many ppl often forget a very very simple truth which is that to understand the future you first have to be brutally realistic about the present (i.e. you cannot be optimistic about the present!)

to be good at this you need to understand the world as it actually exists, why it became this way, which incentives sustain it, & which forces are beginning to break it apart or cause it to change. then you need optimism about tomorrow. i’m not talking blind optimism (that’s foolish), but the ability to see what could exist once all of these forces fully play out.

this is why great investors for example are unusually good at holding both of these complex realities at once. clear realism about today & optimism about tomorrow. it’s more important than ever to dissect the present without sentimentality so you could place bets for tomorrow.

@nikitabier Can you please reset my X algo? It's pretty shit rn and I keep uninstalling and reinstalling the app (despite paying for premium)

[Russell Fernandez @Russellx2000]

@Omgemeraldddd But I wasn't okay

[Russell Fernandez @Russellx2000]

Sitting at the passport office, noticed a woman next to me is consuming brain rot on Threads. Happy to have never even tried the app. Life is good!

@srushtispace Footnote: we did go out once before though, although that was a group setting

[Russell Fernandez @Russellx2000]

@srushtispace I used the same line on a girl I like, she set up a movie date for this Friday. Maybe you can try doing what she did ;)

@retaxmaster I once gave a task to my AI and it started delegating it down to my engineers instead of actually doing the damn thing

The greatest educational life hack is learning high school math in middle school and university math in high school. But even just being a year or two ahead has shockingly high value. If you know, you know.

@buildingcoolshi You're leaving Bangalore?

[Russell Fernandez @Russellx2000]

Tried this out today, it worked!

Saw a kid tear open the cover of a straw. But instead of pulling out the straw, he just put it in his mouth and blew on it, the paper popped right out. Mad genius!

All of us on X reading AI news… meanwhile everyone on LinkedIn and IG still don’t even know who Dario is.

@thsottiaux My balance is at 0% and am waiting for the reset to fix whatever mumbo jumbo Astra did to my codebase 😭

@calvingenuity You can train the model of a fly

Finally realized why it’s so exhausting and stressful to work with AI agents 8h a day.

When delegating a task, you want to be assured it’s off your plate and you can forget about it, knowing it will be done completely and correctly. AI doesn’t give you that: you need to check it’s doing the right thing, it’s not forgetting anything, not taking short cuts etc.

So it adds to your mental load, rather than removing from it.

@buildingcoolshi Go for it, it's miserable in the short run but has crazy long term ROI if done right
