LLMs don’t understand your system.

They amplify it.

Good structure → better code
Bad structure → faster chaos

Unbounded LLMs + implicit architecture = broken systems.

Context isn’t documentation.
It’s architecture.

Spent the past week building a job matcher with Claude.

CV in, personal scoring rubric out. Every new remote eng job scored against it. You only see what clears your bar.

I need a few beta testers. Remote-only. Ping me.

Question, Do we make product decisions faster when:

a. We make them on paper
b. We make them through code and ui

Your team adopted LLMs. Velocity went up.

Then, the system got harder to reason about. Changes broke things in unexpected ways...

This is not coincidence. This is what happens when powerful LLMs have unbounded access to your code base.

@SabrinaHalper There are zero founders with $300k in the bank that did not find their “co-founders” and there are very few founders with $0 in the bank who would be willing to give 50% equity. After all, it’s just a “simple app, surely you could do it in a week or two”

@SabrinaHalper While tech folks are in high demand indeed, in this particular case it’s not the “bottleneck”.

Rather, there’s an over abundance of folks entering the scene without any relevant background or knowledge, expecting tech “co-founders” to build their “idea” for a 5% stake and zero $

Things began to look very unusual two months ago.
Today the charts need no commentary, they speak for themselves.
This is the Atlantic.

@GergelyOrosz Thanks to @RevolutApp and their “virtual debit card” feature, I annually rotate cards to force myself to “cleanup” on SaaS charge clutter…

Just finished watching #1899Netflix. What a colossal waste of time. Writers fucking around with decades old cliches. A shallow thriller that will leave you empty.
