At what point will Anthropic stop subsidizing model usage and force everyone to switch to usage-based pricing or use inferior models?

@pjsmueller One can hope. But likely when winter hits things will be back to the shitty usual.

@aviel @landondonovan Clint Dempsey is good vibes though

My favorite things on social media right now:
- Europeans discovering America
- America discovering football
- Everyone discovering Seattle

The only UI that matters now is agent control plane.

@maxkolysh "Expensive engineering time" is no longer true. Building in-house has become a lot cheaper. Instead of spending time integrating with a startups with uncertain futures, enterprises are now stealing ideas and implementing them themselves.

Stock market is tumbling because of oil and inflation. Seems so inconsequential compared to what's happening in AI right now.

@zdogmode Your age doesn't matter. Your kid's age does.

With AI coding, there's a constant urge to rewrite the whole thing when you hit a roadblock. The best agentic engineers work within the constraints and guide the AI toward clean solutions.

Writing English now takes more effort than writing code. Wild times.

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding?

A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating.

AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases.

We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy.

Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.

@rohitjoycpa Without OPT how do you expect employers to hire fresh grads to know that they're valuable?

[Ryan Dao @ryandao47]

The backlash on this is crazy. USCIS got community-noted for not knowing their own laws. They'll walk this back soon for H1B/O1/L1 holders after big techs complain.

[USCIS @USCIS]

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept.

We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly.

Multi repo is making a comeback. Breaking a monolith into multiple AI-only repos is the way to go.

[Ryan Dao @ryandao47]

@0interestrates Because in writing, text is the final outcome. You need to pay attention to the outcome. Code, on the other hand, is the means to an end.

@craigzLiszt Or they become ego maniacs

[Ryan Dao @ryandao47]

@villi FDEs will always be needed, just like solution engineers today. But they'll focus more on a few top contracts and leave the rest to self service and outside consultants.
