For some reason... I remembered I did this podcast in 2015 with @michael_wise .. We painted this vision of how software would change and .....re-listening again... omfg... we called Ai 10 years ago .... damn.... feels more like an accident though 😂 spacewelders.com/episodes/ep…

That'll about do it....

You have your naming rules. I have mine

I mean.. can we all call it out for what it is atm There is a striking similarity to the ye olde Colgate Toothpaste trope and AI Usage today. Story is simple, people believed that Colgate had increased their diameter of the Toothpaste by a few mm so users without realising consumed more toothpaste. It never happened but.... Fast Forward to today, Frontier Models are adopting the exact same fking strategy imho. Here's the new model, omg look at how shiny it is.... whats that... you're no 20% usage in the first day... oh well.. what could of caused that I wonder..... Somehow the new models "use more compute?" right??? RIGGHHHT?

Notes from the Jobmarket ------ Most jobs I've gotten calls for are: 1) Help make make my team scale with AI via can you either invent an AI-DLC or use one they've started or find us one 2) Build me a harness/software factor that makes us scale 3) Help me keep my budget under control. I am spending $$ on per token usage and can't us Subscriptions because privacy concerns My Raw Notes ------ - If you're a solo dev with AI subs its easy to make end to end things. If you have to do this with a team or play with your ties in a bigger sanbox... there be fights and dragons in first 1-3 months - Harness/Software Factory is hit and miss. It works great on greenfield but brownfield there is a lot of setup foundation work to bootstrap one in place. I think people just assume they download an AI-DLC harness/factory point at brownfield and say "make new" and it just works. It will do a lot quickly and give you a sense of "yeah its working... see.." but again, its a lie. As many say "junk in, junk out" still applies - Product Management ... Years ago I went from a Developer Evangelist over night to Product Manager at Microsoft and I didn't suddenly "know" how to do it. I had to literally shadow brilliant people to figure it out and find a path here. I didn't realise it but now that skillset is coming back today, as that prompt in CLI terminal demands you give it something to chew on thats well thought out. No amount of skills or bullshit markdown files are going to solve this problem, you either know or you don't. Immature product management is what I think kills AI projects fast... - YouTube rots your brain. Stop watching youtubers talk about AI vibe coding, harnesses, factories etc. 90% of them are just echo chambers and full of bullshit techniques that don't last beyond a demo SaaS solution. Good demo, great demo, production, not really. I think most already long into adoption have figured this out but the new comers.. just stawp.. - SaaS UI is done. No its not. You can spot a AI saas solution fast. For example AI doesn't know how to do gaps/spacing/padding correctly. It assumes everything generally is even and lives in odd pixel structures. A Good SaaS designer can also manage your behaviours, grid, spacing, tones and so on. Its night and day when you hand an Ai-gen SaaS to a designer. They come back with way noticeable differences. However, AI can throw out a good enough via shadcn anyway so its down to "it works kinda" - Vibe Code works only when you invest in the foundation. I have it now setup where it produces code that fits my architectural needs but doesn't drift and it took a lot of schema and guardrails to make that happen. It still churns out terrible code if you let it, so thats why I prefer managed languages like C# for the backend. .NET is pretty much guardrail abstraction anyway, so it doesn't feel then need to become too creative with the language. You're mostly nudging it back into shape when it drifts not pounding it back in. - AI Bot network. It can work but you have to have your foundation and build trust over time. Grok Bot was great at the orchestration / marshalling but now its usage is weak sauce. Sneeze it in one day you can get around 30% usage and thats for the same work that I make Sonnet do and it taps at around 4-8%.. so i'd prefer using OpenBot and just use my existing subs. Tbh i'm cancelling Grok, its a waste of time and money atm. - Markdown files are foundation built on sand. I keep seeing people push their markdown ecosystem every inch of the way as guardrails. It can work, even better tell AI "Use compressed notation" and it kind of builds a rules language to keep that in check. Honestly the best unlock for me is to live and die by declared schemas in json. Nobody gets to write a markdown without an attached schema that defines the shape.

If you've ever done a contract or what i call a "tour of duty" in a govt department federal and state.. you will soon realise putting these folks anywhere near AI controls is like feeding Colin Robinson from What We Do in the Shadows youtube.com/watch?v=6r80I1YD…

😂 this train is never late with @AnthropicAI ... 👏stop.👏being.👏assholes. Here's fable go use it, gawn 3 resets ya salty dogs.... whats that... it ate your entire weekly usage and the 3 resets dont reset that.....yeah...well... vibe coding bruh... has its downfalls. "We never write code anymore"

She keeps morphing into a character that doesn’t exist but is now more common than she is irl … 🤣👌

random thought.. am re-reading The Magician again (Raymond E Feist) ... at various points in the book I stop and think "I wonder what that would have looked like" so I use voice to narrate to Codex to "render me this scene" Here's pug leaving the portal... its not really him though ... but ....if you build out a character sheet and read a book.. i mean... something there...

god damn these are getting better😂😂😂

my wife "...even if you had billions .... china couldn't find a woman who'd be be able to put up with you...." i mean... ouch.... and i want to defend it.. but can't...

ya know... statistically speaking.. billionaires wives after divorce are on way more generious to society than their husbands pre-divorce. they do more with the wealth than they did when married.... so one door closes.. another...

The punchline to this is his own product is now turning against him to make memes 🫡🤣🤪

Wait... I was having an affair with a Chinese woman because she said she had a connect to get me cheap nVidia Cards... my wife was onboard with it too... she even patted me on the ass on my way out "go get that GPU tiger" You don't think....nah....maybe....nahhhh...ya think?

.... apparently all you need to do is copy ai prompts to remake this right...😂 .....When Ai video gen actually works.

There are websites that sit on here and bookmark all the showcase/demo/screenshots people post on their UI etc.. And they... charge you for it ...... 😂.. AI man.. its just made everyone extra thirsty for that $$ hustle... I do wonder if @mobbin is making coin on this... probably are..... is this new new "Prince from Nigeria, needs money" hustle online today?

Oooh.... ok... another reason why like @t3dotcodes for my day to day smack a ai around the face with a trout usage.. I had another ai use t3code exposed api or whatever it was, that an agent was able to send a message to it from outside the editor to tell another agent to behave. well played @theo ...well played...

Whomever is making @OpenBot_ Ui/Ux ... you have won the Ai bot war. All other bots.. bow before its features/design and attention to detail ... holy crap.... Grok Bot is dead to me now.. *only* reason I kept that subscription alive was for that.. Grok is below Qwen local imho

Can I just say when you have 2million views hit your twitter account.. fuck.. does notifications trigger your OCD impulse to clear it. I literally am reading every comment too... like a weirdo.. some of them... you're making X weird bro..calm down and others ... bots... so easy to spot to.. htf can @grok be a 'frontier' model and be baffled as to what makes a bot or not still... oh wait... *stares at spacexai stock price*.... nvm.. i get it now..

there's dogfooding your tech and then there's buffet fooding your tech. Mille gets it.. you have to live your customers pain plus putting all key engineers on peasants plan that they can re-up when they exhaust should also give incentives "maybe I can squeeze this juice differently"
