how do you guys handle the "is it worth learning things when ai will just do this better than I ever could in some years" feeling?
It’s either so over or we’ve never been so back
Vibe/incompetent coding at its best
There is “I fucked up” And there is “I built an app and accidentally leaked the drivers licenses of thousands of women on the internet” level of fucked up RIP
Claude Code quality decreased a bit lately? Too many people using it?
I got a similar estimate for a project it then built in 5 minutes 😂
So funny that I asked Cursor to come up with a plan for a feature and it’s giving me a 3 week estimate. What is even the training data here? Bro we’re about to build this in 30 minutes.
I send an email Gmail: spam ❌ Some scammer sends email faking to be a Dreamhost domain renewal issue Gmail: not spam ✅ 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Sounds easy 🤣
If you’re in your 20s in tech right now, a couple of years at OpenAI, Anthropic or a great AI startup will give you 10x the career juice of any MBA or graduate degree (and a lot less debt).
People underestimate the power of laser focusing on something, putting everything you have in that thing you want to create
That's HOW I got to work in that office! My career literally started in earnest once I went "hey you know what would be nice, dealing with an obscure Japanese programming language that barely has any web tooling at all" and built Basecamp with it 😄
Easiest perf fix
please please please make sure your application servers are in the same region as your databases stop paying for extra latency
remember those 3 weeks when gemini 2.5 was the best coding model feels like years ago
