I only post during "thinking..." and Timberwolves games

If I send you this pic, you're not making it out alive

The boom age of apps is over. Supply already outstripped demand before AI. Nobody is installing 14 apps a week.

You need to make a product first and that isn't just farting out code.

Learning this at work too -- faster code delivery cannot fix a lack of process change tolerance

Massive output uptick due to agentic AI. Complete flat adoption.

Imagine building things that needed zero human input

Learning for the thousandth time in my life that if you don't put a tool away where it's supposed to go, you don't have access to it when you need it.

"not invented here" is getting a whole new level with "not vibecoded by me"

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

sending an email is the longest completion api request ever

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

Imagine seeing this and thinking any part of it needed to change.

@TWolvesLead These are not the trees. This is something else. Something worse.

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

@lifeisjustvices Not even lowkey. I will never love these new all blacks.

Nobody likes heroes, but if you don't staff enough people or prioritize tech debt, or take direction from senior engineering --you get heroes.

[Tanuj @tanujDE3180]

a staff engineer at my old company got laid off during “cost cutting.”

his entire farewell meeting was 12 minutes long.

week later:
payment service started randomly failing.

turns out he was manually fixing edge-case data corruption every night for 3 years.

nobody even knew.

the most dangerous systems are the ones surviving because of one invisible engineer.

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

This is sacrilege. The show Bible should never have allowed this.

@PanasonicDX4500 Tbh they could just release a remaster every 10 years from nearly zero dollars and it would fill theaters

Babu Frik was cool but these guys in the baby yoda movie were just this

[Hoops McCann @ravidravidravid]

awesome

@0interestrates There is more to good writing than following patterns and correctness. For most code, if you hit those two things you win.

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

codex is very stupid and slow today.

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

@mattjay I simply watch what it does

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

This scene is proof of something that I have long suspected. The bit is basically as good as however much you like the guy performing it (I like this guy thank you @dropout for the intro to him)

Mr. On Blast is back at the Update desk!

@TMobileHelp Can you stop the enshittification of my Internet service and stop taking money out of my community with every bill?

[Zac Skalko 🐺🏀😼 @zapplebee]

I am so mad that
@TMobile
bought my local fiber provider because now other solicitors come around and I have to consider it. I will never forgive
USI for selling out. Internet was solved. I was never going to change providers again.

Yesterday day at church there was an announcement for a young adults meetup for people in their 20's and 30's.

It made sense to me. But also I was like look I just turned 40 I am still a young adult.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Russian health ministry now classifies people aged 39 & under as “young.”
