@MalmSanta @VicVijayakumar I trusted this face until I saw this

@ryancarson @HelloUntangle @DevinAI I've been thinking about these numbers and at first they seemed really high. But really it sounds like you have a system in place you trust and is working 24/7. It would cost ~tens of millions/yr to pay that many principal engineers.

@VicVijayakumar A week? Lucky. It takes me atleast a month 😂

An opportunity to create an agent called Scrooge who evaluates infra spend on PR reviews and is the ultimate cheapskate

[Ben Vinegar @bentlegen]

Just noticed a vibe-coded project of mine cost $200/month to serve a few dozen users/day 😭

Turns out it was doing 10s of millions of unnecessary Redis polls/day, even when idle - telemetry alone cost $$

a possible clue for why infra providers are growing so much right now

[Will @wlaurance]

@Jason Even for businesses these all seem crazy high. Just take a nap and be refreshed for wherever you are going.

Fire off your agents before the plane takes off 😆

Is there an agentic platform that has solved mobile / desktop parity? I'd love to answer questions for my planning tasks the agent has while I make a cup of coffee or (most likely) am on the toilet.

@enggirlfriend Sounds like a cab!

@DANsplained0 Nothing wrong with being happier in office either 😀. Flexibility is key. We are social creatures and for better or worse work is a big part of our lives.

@rankintweets @Rod64847002 It’s a thin line between AI genius and psychosis

[Will @wlaurance]

@rankintweets Yes but added a foot pedal???

@evisdrenova I think I know a few of them. They are wonderful people!

[Will @wlaurance]

@SharpT_ @mscccc Ah ok yeah. They should be cleared.

[Will @wlaurance]

@ryancarson Yep now non programmers will start to understand why devs are so passionate about their editors and IDEs

[Ryan Carson @ryancarson]

I have strong opinions on this

[Will @wlaurance]

@SharpT_ @mscccc I don’t understand this take. It’s literally published in the GitHub org where the devrels at Google publish stuff

[Will @wlaurance]

@ChaiWithJai @rauchg @theayush Was thinking the same thing lol. This guy sockets!

Hot takes from the week so far

Remote work is both a scam and fraud.

AC is a fraudulent in Europe.

@p_millerd @taimurabdaal If you work at his company you are mandated 5 days RTO
