If all you do as a programmer is copy-paste what the AI answers when you ask, the AI already replaced you. You just don't know it.

Can’t escape the AI hype these days—especially on X and RedNote. Everyone’s acting like AI changed their life overnight...
But hey, that’s also their business model. “AI-first” sounds cool, but relying solely on AI output? Big no-no. 🙃

“AI can make creations”? That’s the biggest joke going around😅. Everything it generates—code, content, videos—it’s just mimicry. No authenticity. No soul. That’s not human creativity.

When did tech startups prefer black-and-white over everything else 😅?
One app like that is cool, but using a bunch at once? I keep opening the wrong one this week..😵💫
Took some time today to customize these icons — now they’re distinctive but also way more me. 😎

Went keyboard-only in Linear this week — surprisingly smooth 😌. Tried it in Jira too and wow, how was I not doing this already? 😅

One big lesson I’ve learned while working with Cursor (or any AI IDE): always write in TypeScript, not plain JavaScript. 🥶

@augmentcode.com just failed on my first try regarding how to deal with time-consuming tasks inside the Vercel serverless functions. 😅
Maybe they haven’t indexed the page in six months? The correct info is apparently out there.:

💯 agree on this!
Their loss. You've got so much to offer.
This is honestly a huge opportunity for whichever team you choose to support next.

Tried setting up Zen Browser today, but uh… It’s just not for me 😅:
1. Can’t set keyboard shortcuts using just Option + a letter (e.g., Option + L).
2. No folder tabs. That was the last straw. 🫠

I haven't tried Ruby on Rails yet 😅, but I keep hearing developers rave about it. After reading this article, I have been convinced to give it a shot for my next side project!

Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?
Most coders want AI to write code faster: I want AI to write FASTER CODE.

I've been thinking about #Severance these days, so last week I created two new Focus modes on my iPhone: Work and Commute, and activated smart schedules so wallpapers could be updated with ease.
A big shoutout to @parkerortolani.com for his amazing artwork — my weekdays become more enjoyable! 😎
