its high time that models stop quoting implementation timeframe in human time. like wdym it will take 1-2 weeks to setup the structured logging.

The idea that unionized mathematicians can somehow gatekeep their prized open problems against being steamrollered by smart kids with computers is hilarious to me

[sr1 @sr1jann]

same is true for software engineering or any other knowledge work

the more humans are detached from the process of leading to a desired outcome, the harder it becomes to describe or even come up with new, meaningful intent.

@mitchellh > The world's best multiplexer is the one you don't have to learn. It just works

It's okay to shill your things but atleast come up with some strong points.

wdym by "learning" tmux? there are at most 4-6 bindings that you have to get "used to" like any other tool out there.

WORD 🤌🏼

[Ryo Lu @ryolu_]

leaving

leaving is the process from fullness into emptiness

from the familiar circle of life
the routines undone
the streets i knew by heart
the people i kept meeting
the names and labels that had gathered on my skin

toward a place entirely unknown
where a new life waits to be written

before i go
i take out everything i had hidden in my heart
and say goodbye to it
piece by piece

memory rises
and feeling rises with it

one by one
i empty the rooms within me
until i am almost as i was when i first arrived
unfurnished
unclaimed
open

what remains is a blankness
echoing with my fear of loneliness
my longing for freedom
and the questions i still cannot answer

what is freedom
what is happiness

when i first came here
i was drifting in a river
carried by the current
thinking only of making things

now i have to place my own hands on the helm

no longer mistaking the waves for fate
or the shore for salvation

i will miss the days i lived here

but i must learn again
how to sleep inside loneliness
how to eat inside uncertainty
how to recognize desire in the blank

and through the act of leaving
turn freedom from an idea
into a life i practice every day

The limiting factor of software engineering has never been code production. It is complexity management.

[Ryo Lu @ryolu_]

when the dream becomes the job

i used to think the dream was to make my hobby my work.

to spend my life close to the things i loved: computers, tools, interfaces, systems, tiny details, the feeling of making something from nothing. the things i used to do at night, after school, after work, in the margins of life, somehow became the center of my life.

and it is a dream. i don’t want to pretend otherwise.

there is a very specific happiness in getting paid to care. in meeting other people who care. in building a language around your obsession. in seeing something that lived only in your head become real enough for other people to touch.

but there is also a quiet pain in it.

because the thing that once belonged only to you no longer belongs only to you.

it becomes attached to deadlines, teams, customers, strategy, money, reputation, momentum... curiosity becomes roadmap. taste becomes decision-making. play becomes output. the thing you once used to escape the world becomes the thing through which the world reaches you.

and now there is another strange layer: the machines are getting good at the work too.

not just the boring parts. the parts that used to feel close to the heart. writing, coding, designing, reasoning, making taste-like decisions, turning vague ideas into something real. the things we once used as proof that we had something special inside us are becoming things a model can approximate, remix, and sometimes do faster.

that can feel scary in a very specific way.

not only because of jobs or competition, but because it touches the myth you built around yourself. if the thing i became good at can be done by a machine, then what part of it was really me?

i think that question is painful because it arrives at the same place.

the original love.

before the title, before the company, before the taste became a role, before the work became useful to other people, there was a small fire inside. curiosity. obsession. the feeling that the world became more alive when you understood a little more of it, or made a tiny piece of it bend to your will.

AI can make the output faster. it can even raise the floor of the craft. but it cannot want on your behalf. it cannot decide what is worth loving. it cannot protect the strange private thread that made you care in the first place.

maybe that is what becomes more important now.

not whether you can still produce the artifact by hand. not whether you can outperform the machine at every task. that game is already changing.

the real question is whether you still have a relationship with the source.

the part with no audience. no roadmap. no deadline. the part that can wander, collect strange references, make useless things. follow beauty, be wrong, be slow, be you, be true.

because that part is not separate from the work. it is the source of the work.

if you lose it, you can still operate. you can still manage the machine. you can still prompt, review, decide, ship, and keep things moving.

but the work becomes thinner. safer. more explainable. less alive.

so maybe the real discipline is not to work harder, rest more, or care less.

maybe it is to keep returning to the place where the love began – before it became useful, before it became legible, before anyone needed anything from it, before even the machine could mirror it back to you.

not to escape the work.

to make sure the fire inside is still alive.

It is my belief that many devs right now are not maximizing what they can do with automatic programming because they still look at the code. Doing it makes you the bottleneck. Your time is better invested in new ideas, QA, design, and asking yourself what is your goal.

[Dillon Mulroy @dillon_mulroy]

yall im ngl its way harder to get joy and satisfaction out of building with ai than it was before

constantly straddling burn out, being far less immersed in hard problems, constant context switching

i’m tired of the uncertainty of where this is going and how to do it well

you guys are not creating a new PaymentIntent after a payment failed (insufficient fund).

please fix this ASAP, agent is hungry :(
