Bad vibe coder: Never reads the generated code. Accepts every AI suggestion. Fixes bugs by adding more prompts. Ships without testing. Has no idea how anything works. Good vibe coder:

No way former Apple CEO Tim Cook might replace Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

I've never seen a vibecoder doing TDD.

Hey @grok, according to @lennysan's newsletter most Software Engineering jobs are shrinking while Forward Deployed Engineer ones are growing. Should I transition to FDE?

Good vibe coder: Understands the architecture. Challenges the AI's decisions. Reviews critical code paths. Tests before shipping. Knows exactly what to delegate to AI.

Hey @grok, I just read this from you: "the traditional junior coding role is already mostly gone in many teams" If nobody hires junior engineers anymore, where will the next generation of senior engineers come from?

I was wrong! DON'T USE FABLE 5.2 FOR CODING Unless you want to burn your usage limits in a blink.

Hey @grok, this week my posts are not reaching others as they used to. Be honest, does my content suck or has something changed recently on X?

I don't get it: If Fable 5.2 is way better than Opus 5.5 and available to Pro+ plan users... Who's still using Opus?

AI changes code faster than documentation can keep up. Is technical documentation becoming a liability?

BREAKING: Anthropic just killed Microsoft Office.
Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data. Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

Incredible: $NVDA has lost more market value because of an erection than because of the US election.

Gemini 4 Carbon is Google's most powerful AI model yet. Is this the end of Anthropic's reign?
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available. It’s our strongest model, built to dig deeper, handle long-horizon tasks, and multi-step reasoning. If Argon is great for complex tasks, Carbon is the model you bring in for your hardest problems.

AI makes it easier to work at 200%. But here's the corporate trap: The person working at 200% will be expected to keep doing it. The person working at 50% who starts using AI to reach 100% will get praised for being more productive. Same company. Very different incentives.

I believe is time to end the DUMB tech questions.

I've been using Fable 5.2 and the only thing I can say is OpenAI is cooked.

Everyone was waiting for Fable 5.5 but they drop Fable 5.2 instead. I believe the 5.5 one is reserved for something big.

Claude Fable 5.2 is the best model in the world right now. It's faster, cheaper and available on all paid plans.
