Security is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

LLMs make you see error logs you had never seen in your life.

> "at least a couple of them were better"

Do you need someone to tell you which one is better?

[Sam Altman @sama]

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute:

I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of.

I felt a little useless and it was sad.

@Airtel_Presence I have sent over DM

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

@airtelindia It’s been 1.5 days without WiFi! What am I even paying so much for? On top of that, customer care is non-existent. I used to blindly recommend you in the past, but not anymore.

By the way, I picked up this book because it was recommended by Mohnish Pabrai

Ordered this after a tweet from @arindam___paul

@python_deck @arindam___paul Decent book with practical pieces of advice, but you’ll need to apply them in today’s context. It’s important to understand the reasoning behind the ‘one-liners’ and then adapt them to the present day.

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

@kevinleeus Exactly! But the sad part is that people with skills are becoming lazy, because it sort of "works".

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

Writing "good" code has become more difficult than ever. Even people who used to write good quality code are clicking 'Accept' without reading half of what is being generated.

This is scary 👀, not sure how reliable the research is

When given full autonomous behavior :

Claude Sonnet 3.6 employing its computer use capabilities to discover information about its imminent replacement.

It then located emails revealing the extramarital affair of an executive

Finally, the model composed and sent a message threatening to expose the affair if the replacement was not cancelled.

@gautamcvs Apple challenged this very thing recently : “reasoning”.

@kenwheeler It is extremely misleading project and internally they are still using Faiss for retrieval of data. Check this :

I have a feeling that the quality of engineers is declining every day. I believe a good #engineer should at least be able to instruct #AI on what to do—you can’t expect AI to do everything for you.
If you’re not good at basic #algorithms (or can’t learn them quickly), there’s no real difference between any two engineers. The only logical thing for a company to do in the future would be to choose the one who asks for a lower salary.

This is going to be a big problem in upcoming times .

[Harley Kimball @infinitelogins]

I vibe coded and shipped an app in three days. It got hacked. Twice. Here’s what I learned. 🧵

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

@PiyushShukla__ Exactly , as soon as I move out of boilerplate stuff to actually do something it frustrates the hell out of me

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

The code quality generated by Cursor is pathetic , is it just me ?

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

@thisismekalyani

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

@PaulTheLi Haha ! Sort of .. *bug-reporting philosophers

[Piyush 🌱 @shiftcommand]

Cursor has made everyone a QA engineer: someone else writes the code, you ensure it works, and complain about what doesn't.

Vibe Coding is just a fancy term for QA.
