Absolutely required watching for anyone that thinks of themselves as a programmer or software engineer.

gone through 2 20x and 1 5x (they won't let you buy 20x anymore) openAI plan this week already. 😒
they've definitely changed something about the usage limits.
gm. be careful out there folks.


gm. software engineering in the classic sense is dead.
before you dismiss that as obvious, consider the following:
1. agents have reached a critical level where they're better than almost all human programmers. even when it comes to planning complex architectures.
2. we don't need to drive things on machines we have with us any more. in fact, sitting in front of a screen all day is now an anti-pattern. a powerful laptop can't beat a good desktop (and is less upgradable). you can also leave your iOS, Android, browser, and other hardware attached to your desktop for agents to use.
3. the judgement of what to build (vision) and how to build it (the values that drive decisions while pursuing that vision) has become THE critical skill.
a lot of engineers and builders (myself included) are still holding on to vestiges of a bygone era, mostly because we enjoy the process, but if we're serious about building something impactful, we have to learn to get out of the way.
The Way™
1. Define the problem to solve (vision)
2. Define the constraints (values)
3. Deliver feedback (your own to start, from users as soon as possible)
god, i love new model days. ✨

@ODELL was always right. nostr shitposting was always just the bootloader for everything else.
thanks madeira. ❤️ it’s been amazing.

what’s the highest performance, most reliable relay on nostr right now? not a codebase, an actual relay that’s running.
most strfry instances i know of are running old versions (that still have the 502 issue that was fixed a few weeks ago). many other relays are slow or go down regularly.
another day, another company announces a data breach.
