how to be good at your job

- realize this one thing is actually made up of two separate things
- realize instead of solving the direct problem you can solve a broader problem
- instead of implementing thing, implement other thing that makes it easier to implement thing

[Aiden Bai @aidenybai]

this is mostly a guardrails problem:

- teams can't keep up with code review
- existing testing is mostly "fake"
- the good ICs care, most don't give a shit. tokens amplify this problem

[Vic 🌮 @VicVijayakumar]

the paradox of ai adoption at tech companies is that individuals are getting way more done but teams as a whole are not shipping products any faster. in large part this is because the things that were previously low roi / not worth doing are getting automated, but the core business is still too complex to yeet without following the pdlc.

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

The number of big companies talking a big talk about AI but their CI still takes 2 hours. Lighting money on fire

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@VicVijayakumar @FIREDUpWealth i resent that

[Peer Richelsen @peer_rich]

some companies are better at maintaining quality at scale

but the secret to doing so has nothing to do with the code itself

its maintaining a culture where embarrassment is still a valid signal

when nobody feels embarrassed by a bad release 

thats when quality starts to fade

@ctatedev oh yeah baby https://t.co/4gHUEkH4TZ

How to improve any software system:

1. Do less work
2. Do the work faster
3. Do the work in parallel (or elsewhere)

@alexdotjs amazing

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@trq212 I love when apps adopt features from video games to turn ppl into power users

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@nkohari better you than someone else (as a steward)

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@rauchg @threejs @nextjs @vercel 🤯🤯 slop forking this into my emulator app immediately, it was on my roadmap to build a shader playground. sick ship

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

landed my first PR where the agent was able to demo the feature it built in the Electron app and put the screenshots in the PR description. https://t.co/6JpzLA7Ul1
@ctatedev you are a madman

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@meag_han_c I love it. pls put back the worktree name next to the branch name 🙏🙏

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@claudeai I super dislike that you removed the active worktree (and ability to copy it) from the UI. It was a big part of my workflow on some apps to kick work off in the terminal based on that

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@bcherny u cooked

Getting cheats to work on every emulator smoothly is surprisingly annoying. Duckstation has the best support for psx

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

I am super happy w/ the new claude code desktop additions. Being able to spawn new tasks into the side bar from an existing one is soooo nice

[Ryan Magoon @Ryan_Magoon]

@zeeg @bcherny For a long time it would be basic shit like the messages in the desktop Claude code being all out of order, it was like a classic index as key type bug that seems extremely avoidable, a whole lot of that type of jank, stale state, etc
