@TheJollyMule @macsween_prue This is the lowest IQ response I’ve read. The battle of ideas and words only leads to violence amongst those on a certain side of the political spectrum.

@DrewPavlou @DHughesy @AustralianLabor Beautifully said.

@1Immortals1 Really small sample size and only one study. That said, am giving it a try!

[S. Ryan Meyer @SRyanMeyer]

Absolutely.

If you think like this, you will become insanely wealthy

@ListenToLewko Hahahahahaha. Well played, sir.

@JustineBateman I disagree. It has nothing to do with “tech bros”. It’s simply the age old tension between loser pessimists and hardworking optimists.

[S. Ryan Meyer @SRyanMeyer]

@GregoryConti19 I’m sorry but this is a loser mentality. You have literal superintelligence in your pocket and this is the attitude you come up with?

@TimurNegru How many of your guests would pull the trigger on an Italian property if they could simply buy into a co-ownership & management structure that was completely managed?

@FishAudio Drama!

[S. Ryan Meyer @SRyanMeyer]

@TimurNegru Bellissimo !

@dhh Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The end of the scarcity regime is the end of the Ancien Régime for software. Most companies are still trapped in the old order: Microsoft/Google platforms plus a dozen SaaS rents they treat as fixed costs. They have no idea those rents are about to become optional. AI abundance + open source lets them stop paying, or lets faster companies that never accepted the rents in the first place displace them.

@poteto @amorriscode Bingo. It just "fits" within a normal way of thinking and working to create specialist bots. At least in my experience!

Lauren is one of the brightest, most optimistic voices of her generation! And my go-to for anything Grok Bot.

something that keeps bothering me is how some people see slop as something that is happening to them, like they're some kind of helpless bystander powerless to do anything about it

excuse me but you are a software engineer, you literally learned how to make sand think and make computers do your bidding?! and now you can't do anything about it? please

the 2 things you should know to cut through all the noise:

1. you need to give your agent a way to verify its own work (i just posted about this so won't rehash)
2. your codebase is memory

the 2nd is not new either, we have always had lint rules, compilers with good diagnostics and strong type systems, LSPs, etc to help us write better code. there is no difference when agents write the code instead, you just need more of them, and stronger ones.

forget rules and skills. you can add those later.

yes, your codebase is a form of memory to agents! agents love extending what already exists. so every nit and every annoyance you've ever seen, every mistake and bad pattern you observe from agents, needs to turn into a constraint, or the agents will just keep repeating those same mistakes like a virus in your code. then you keep observing and repeating this process until your codebase is locked down enough that even agents with little context can one shot a high quality PR.

an even better direction is to refactor/rewrite your code such that agent anti-patterns become categorically impossible. use type systems to your advantage, use libraries/frameworks that reduce the architectural search space, or heck, create your own framework like we did for grok bot and design high quality primitives and well thought out APIs

@elonmusk Reminds me of General Patton’s favorite line: “L’audace, l’audace, toujours l’audace!”

[S. Ryan Meyer @SRyanMeyer]

@mrfundman Hahahaha. Yes!

[S. Ryan Meyer @SRyanMeyer]

@kiaraplds @bot Yes Ma’am. Got my 3-letter initials this morning in Oz. Sadly my family was not altogether impressed and I’m pretty sure my daughter muttered something about me being a dork!
