Day job: I design systems where being wrong is expensive (fintech, events ticketing, agentic AI).

Evenings: I build one alone, with AI writing most of the code.

The second one is the fastest way I've found to learn which of my architecture habits were load-bearing.

▪️ Українська 🇺🇦 діаспора в Канаді 🇨🇦 у ті роки вважала, що українська культура і мова на їх Батьківщині безповоротно втрачені і саме вони - емігранти - повинні зберегти це все і повернути в Україну, коли вона стане вільною.

@manicode Higher abstraction = less tokens.

@maxedapps I often ask it to argue against its own recommendation before touching the code. The second answer is usually much better.

@ibocodes Backups, migrations, and a tested restore matter more than whether it's SQLite or Postgres.

@dev_maims What makes me worry is that such person can try 50 bad ideas without asking for budget, headcount or permission and then get competitive advantage in a brute force mode ))

@vimtor I am a bit terrified by this trend because in this case AI owns the whole interface and your app risks becoming an interchangeable backend for it.

@zuess05 AI still makes code cheaper. But it doesn't make unclear requirements or production incidents disappear. So, advantage is still there.

Meanwhile in China, researchers wrote 75 pages on how AI could improve itself. There are five stages. In the last one, AI starts changing the way it makes itself smarter.

Looks like humanity got assigned the documentation for the singularity.

At work, I create Agent Skills for others, but they stay under NDA.

So, I published two from my personal setup:
• "trim-instructions" shortens model instructions without changing behavior
• "tidy-docs" multi-pass clean-up of Markdown for people

@vibeonX69 Most of human ideas are remixes too

@LeoBuilds_ I split by risk, not phase

@maxedapps I do this at work, but those skills are under NDA. So I published two from my personal setup:

• trim-instructions: shortens model instructions without changing behavior
• tidy-docs: multi-pass clean-up of human-facing Markdown

@mrgadgetstudio I usually step in when it creates the third file for a one-line fix 😄

@ibocodes Most of it is the "Try again" prompt handler :-)

After 3 #Puliares interviews, I had exactly 0 Interest signals.

I could blame the sample, then open the backlog and build another feature.

But another feature won’t tell me why nobody was interested. So next step is simple: interview a different segment or test a new channel.

@mehulmpt Ask for a one-off script and it starts preparing for enterprise scale 😄

@heypetar Same founder can be on both sides six months apart. Most of these are timing questions, not beliefs. Right?

@riya_mishra007 Verification is the part people underestimate. It's hard to review a change you wouldn't know how to build yourself.
