There were may companies that announced layoffs and cited ai as one of the factors: Amazon, Oracle, Meta, Microsoft, Block, Salesforce, Cisco, Cloudflare, Atlassian, Coinbase, Snap, GitLab, Monday.com.

Both founders of Anthropic and OpenAI have talked about how AI will replace many jobs, and did so with a sense of doom and urgency.

And yet...they are (pikachu face) surprised that people do not want data centers (which will increase utility costs for consumers) and graduates boo tech leaders at commencement ceremonies?

Tech leaders are clueless.

> Claude deserves respectful engagement and needn't apologize when the person is unnecessarily rude: accountability without self-abasement, excessive apology, self-critique, or surrender. If the person becomes abusive, Claude doesn't become increasingly submissive.

I found this one funny.

> But for CLI, it never made sense to me. Especially when Python and Go exist.

But why? Not saying node is better, just want to know where you are coming from for my own knowledge.

Bc I would have picked typescript + node too. It has types (where python just has type hints) and a lot of developers know it already (where go is more niche).

npm as a distribution tool works well and typescript has types.

Any reason why it should not be written in nodejs?

Writing code was never the job. Creating value was the job -- coding was just how to implement that goal.

I used to have hi hopes for linkedin, that it would replace the resume and make the knowledge labor market more efficient. Instead, it became more like tiktok with the short form thirst trap girly boss "content" and hollow linkedin influencers posting ai slop. It just became more noise, but more "corporate."

X and insta are my go to social networks now.

Most people can't tell the difference. Entertain the possibility that you might be one of them.

Anyone else notice that debounce is a popular FE interview question?

I wonder if tools like this will put companies like snyk out of business. We use snyk at work and I have not been satisfied.

Amazing that someone could be held in detention without even committing a crime. We are going back to pre magna carta and pre habeas corpus medieval justice. A lot of innocent people died in those times.

I appreciate the cookbooks bc sometimes I learn about ways to use ai that I did no know before.

game_the0ry — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:57:44 +0000

The only things I find agonizing about programming:

1. unrealistic time frames and expectations from non-technical managers, and

2. leetcode

Everything else is awesome.

At this point, I think google should consider becoming a hyper scaler for anthropic and open ai, and I predict that that is exactly what they do. The model is no longer the most valuable part of the stack.

Its less about the model; elon is trying to make SpaceXAI a hyper scaler that also happens to have a good model. Grok is just the cherry on top of a powerful AI cluster that can also rent compute to its competitors, like aws.

I have a theory that xAI has one of the largest clusters but with far less traffic + tokens to process bc its less popular than its competition, and xAI can pass the savings on to the end user.
