I 100% agree with what is being said here

Not only in software engineering but across the board in all industries

[Ryan Dahl @rough__sea]

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

[Aporia @0xaporia]

What Claude Code has revealed is that most people either have mediocre ideas or no ideas at all. The tool is a force multiplier for those who already know what they want to build and how to think through it systematically; it elevates competence, rewards clarity, and accelerates execution for people who would have gotten there anyway, just slower. If you have a sharp vision and can break it into coherent steps, Claude Code becomes an extension of your own capability.

But there's another mode of use entirely. For people without that clarity, the appeal is precisely that the input can stay vague; you gesture at something, hit enter, and wait to see what comes out. This is structurally identical to a slot machine: low effort, variable reward, and that intermittent reinforcement loop that hooks the susceptible. So the same tool that elevates the focused and capable is also manufacturing a kind of gambling behavior in people prone to it.

This is brilliant. The process of designing a new font for Cheetos 😂

fucking hate German breaking every possible UI

[Devon Govett @devongovett]

Easy to forget, but the debate about signals is the same one we had about 2-way data binding vs unidirectional data flow 10 years ago. Signals are mutable state! They’re bindings with a new name. The simplicity of UI as a function of state is lost when updates flow unpredictably.

@simonbrown It helps to communicate (to point at something abstract) to other people about ideas / concepts / solutions.
But they are mostly used at the start of a project, for many reasons.

Software engineers, complete this sentence:

We're working on shipping huge updates to @statelyai studio and I cosign this completely

Stop building the thing.
Build the thing that builds all the things.

IMO the most important thing every developer could be doing right now on nights and weekends is building a general purpose personal junior dev agent they can control and trust, that they can scale to fleets.

i'm 3 hours into building my own "smol developer" and its now pretty capable of going from prompt to code. releasing mvp tomorrow.

[Alan Rice @alan__rice]

Beautiful articulation of exactly how I (and the video confirms) others have felt recently, put way clearer than I could. For a while React was the only serious choice, but the landscape has shifted significantly and other options are there! (Just not as loud on twitter)
