Android is Linux

At least own the libs

They should have really come with the 1/6863 tonne burger

Back before crypto because a speculation vehicle we very nearly got rid of all this bullshit. Unfortunately it just wasn’t convenient and widespread enough before people decided holding on to hashes forever was gonna make them rich.

Claude code can make something that works, but it’s kinda over engineered and really struggles to make an elegant solution that maximises code reuse - it’s the opposite of DRY.

I’m doing a personal project at the moment and used it for a few days, made good progress but it got to the point where it was just a spaghetti mess of jumbled code, and I deleted it and went back to implementing each component one at a time and then wiring them together manually.

My current workflow is basically never let them work on more than one file at a time, and build the app one component at a time, starting at the ground level and then working in, so for example:

Create base classes that things will extend, Then create an example data model class, iterate on that architecture A LOT until it’s really elegant.

Then Ive been getting it to write me a generator - not the actual code for models,

Then (level 3) we start with be UI.layer, so now we make a UI kit the app will use and reuse for different components

Then we make a UI component that will be used in a screen. I’m using flutter as an example so It would be a stateless component

We now write tests for the component

Now we do a screen, and I import each of the components.

It’s still very manual, but it’s getting better. You are still going to need a human cider, I think forever, but there are two big problems that aren’t being addressed because people are just putting their head in the sand and saying nah can’t do it, or the clown op in the post who thinks they can do it.

1. Because dogs be clownin, the public perception of programming as a career will be devalued “I’ll just make it myself!” Or like my rich engineer uncle said to me when I was doing websites professionally - a 13 year old can just make a website, why would I pay you so much to do it. THAT FUCKING SUCKS. But a similar attitude has existed from people “I’ll just hire Indians”. This is bullshit, but perception is important and it’s going to require you to justify yourself for a lot more work.

2. And this is the flip side good news. These skills you have developed - it’s is going to be SO MUCH FUCKING HARDER TO LEARN THEM. When you can just say “hey generate me an app that manages customers and follow ups” and something gets spat out, you aren’t going to investigate the grind required to work out basic shit. People will simply not get to the same level they are now.

That logic about how to scaffold and architect an app in a sensible way - USING AI TOOLS - is actually the new skillset. You need to know how to build the app, and then how to efficiently and effectively use the new tools to actually construct it. Then you need to be able to do code review for each change.

I’ve been a professional full stack dev for 15 years and dabbled for years before that - I can absolutely code and know what I’m doing (and have used cursor and just deleted most of what it made for me when I let it run)

But my frontends have never looked better.

There’s a big difference from the far right and full blown nazis

For Joe Rogan to give that look though something has to be pretty cooked.

I hope they just never fix it, just be like “yeah 🤷🏽it must be the R’s??? We are working on it”

No intern, it was St Luigi doing the gods work

Yeah, you know you can put CSS inline / in the header, and images can be base64 encoded and put in line as well.

Same with JavaScript. It’s probably a whole single page website with no ability to cache anything and can never be bigger than the context window

Since I’ve switched to using SSH keys for all auth Ive had no problems I’m aware of. Plus I don’t need to remember a bunch of passwords.

But then I’ve had no training in this area. What do I know

I just think it’s delicious that this is playing out on twitter

Not a lot of normies can hyperfocus enough to become billionaires

My wife shot herself in the eye with a confetti cap gun last night trying to see if it was loaded. She literally pointed it at her face and pulled the trigger.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn’t make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn’t want to cause more harm.

Locking people up isn’t right either but he is entitled to a point of view

Except the “AI” part would be using a linear static formula to adjust the brightness of the RGB LEDs based on ambient light which only works when connected to the wifi and you must install a dodgy likely spyware app that requires a $49/yr subscription to keep it working.

The buttons would probably be a touchscreen though. Which is annoying because now you are running an ugly 2m USB C cable to the nearest outlet you needed to buy a 40w usb-pd charger for they didn’t mention you would need to buy on the box - you know, because we all just have the myriad USB charging technologies already in our homes.
