Orgs shipping slop is job security for the AI models
at work an engineer got let go because he spent 5 years pushing dogshit code as a kind of job security dead man switch. called him to check in. he sounded smug, thinking i was calling to beg him to come back at double pay to fix the code. no dude, AI fixed your code in 5 minutes

We’ve been dealing with this as well. Have some ideas for tooling that can improve iOS dev if anyone wants to jam!
The bottleneck for iOS dev is truly the CPU now. It's hard to work on features in parallel and testing if the app is compiled locally.

Poker / solver friends: I decided open source my base implementation of CFRM engine (and port it to Go). My original implementation took me about a year. gpt-5.3-codex ripped through it in 3.5 minutes. wild world we're living in. codebase below [batteries, and ui not included]

When you work as an effective team it doesn't feel like your individual contributions matter even though they do. In tug-of-war the rope seems to move of its own accord but tell everyone it's bullshit work and your team will never win
Here is my theory why this is video is viral: it represents the role we play in the western world as a de-proletarianized society; we are simply here to keep financial markets solvent. 80% of western economy is basically this. The appearance of "work". We make nothing.

Is it performative if a new hire wants to onboard on Christmas? Welcome the team, Weifeng!

I’ve seen inside the fastest growing startups & somehow @triumpharcade is growing faster No one has executed better in a harder space than @Jakebrooks I truly thought consumer was uninvestable. Turns out it’s only an impossible nut to crack until the right team shows up 🚀🦄

Fantastic guide; I appreciate what Swift 6 is trying to do but honestly it’s gone off the rails with its approach to being concurrency safe
Week off, so I dove into approachable Swift concurrency after years of postponing. Thanks to @mattiem's impressive work + coding agents for real-world analogies, I built mental models and made: fuckingapproachableswiftconc… Probably got things wrong, feedback welcome!

Waymo has hit a marketplace equilibrium in core markets so is focusing on horizontally scaling to more cities. To truly capture the market it needs something else.
Waymo has quickly captured more than 10% of the SF ride-sharing market

You also can’t install a specific version of a binary with brew; blew my mind when our CI failed because of a bad 3rd party tooling update
they just added concurrent downloads to this so called widely used software. absolutely diabolical. popularity != quality

One of Triumph’s most productive engineers has TikTok and Cookie Clicker open while coding. I used to think he was always distracted but every time I approached him, he was waiting on AI, tests, etc. And in the end he gets stuff done. Chad IDE is perfect for him.
this is a meme that YC paid $500k for how are liquidity providers not losing their shit when they see slop like this being funded?
