Just me
When I gazed at the stars as a kid, I remember the overwhelming sense of floating into the universe’s vastness, a feeling of drifting that both fascinated and terrified me. When I dive into AI, that same sensation of vastness and ungroundedness returns, leaving me equally terrified and fascinated.

Im sad to see you go Atlassian, but you are slowing us down. System Design and Requirements Documents needs to be inside the code base, so the AI can reflect on changes. We use markdown for high level and doc string for file level. And extensive logg files. Chat: fix errors in log files/update code.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Target start selling a web development kits. Why not, if everyone else can why shouldn’t they.

The number of devs we need in the future depends on how fast and how much we can consume.

AI coding feels like going from Nokia 3310 to Smartphone.

The future of engineering is to define not design. You have to climb the abstractions ladder.

The hard job is to create from a blank slate, the easy part is to be the critic.

In other words, LLM’s are not made to one shot a solution, it needs to be an iterative process.

That’s why agents make sense.

I've just shared some unfiltered thoughts in a post. They might not be entirely correct, but I'd love to hear your perspectives.

The End of Tools: How LLMs Are Collapsing the Creative Value Chain
Key take aways:

Stack Collapse
LLMs eliminate traditional software layers by accepting human intent as direct input. Programming languages, IDEs, UIs—collapse into natural language. The value chain from concept to execution compresses into a single step. The tool isn’t upgraded—it’s torn down and rebuilt on demand.

Domain Expertise as a New Currency
In an intent-driven world, advantage shifts from technical fluency to lived fluency. It’s no longer about mastering tools—it’s about mastering your domain. LLMs let peopel channel raw knowledge experiences, making domain expertise the new creative currency.

Boundary System Constraints
Human creativity is throttled by outdated interfaces—keyboards, dropdowns. We think faster than we can click. LLMs lift these constraints through high-bandwidth, intent-driven interaction, freeing creators from the friction of tools built for machines, not minds.

What is a piece of software?
The core function of software is to improve human decision making.
What is the limitation of software?
The programming language it is built with.
Will LLM replace the coder?
It will replace the need for programming languages, since LLM’s can replace the human function🤯

Build software that harnesses the full potential of LLMs—unbound by the constraints of traditional programming languages.

That’s a seismic shift.

This is the hypotesis that we are operating on: vintagedata.org/blog/posts/m...

I can't emphasize enough the importance of this concept. If this holds true we will have agentic networks utilizing domain-spesific models to create value downstream. Welcome to the Model as a Service (MaaS) economy.

I want would love to see a new ux in cursor built around agentic vibe coding. Right now it’s heading towards a mess with me coding and chatting, each one trying to beat each other to death.

Engineers have accepted their fate. It took time and went through phases of denial, but we got there in the end. Now, I see the same process unfolding across other domains—product, marketing, sales…

Cloud computing as it is today will transform into agent and domain specific LLM fine tuning and inference infrastructure We will have local computers with agents running MCP. If the operator needs anything to operate an agent will make it on the fly. No need for saas.

Assessing my sentiment towards AI from a technical point of view and I must admit I’m leaning towards further acceleration. AI hype is over the top, but will not transition into the Trough of disillusionment any time soon. If ever.

Stop hiring for role and competence!

Hire AI first thinkers with deep domain competence who accepts the truth.

Anyone else is going to slow you down!
March 17, 2025 at 3:04 AM
What we need is AI who speaks the truth!

This should be default!

This is the reason why so many feel AI sucks. when the truth is that what they actually are saying is that ‘I’m inferior’ since AI don’t give a shit if you look like a fool.
March 17, 2025 at 2:56 AM
If you struggle with the AI not understanding your code or solve your problem. You have a PEBKAC situation. You just need to stop thinking in code and more about what you want to achieve.
March 12, 2025 at 1:42 AM
AI excels when the what and how are clearly documented online but struggles understanding the why behind them. Without explicitly enforcing the why at inference, AI may repeatedly reinterpret and rearrange your code, as its understanding varies with each prompt.

It’s quite interesting, the 10x employee is on the rise, then we get the 100x, 10000x, 100millx and finally the 10 trillion employee.
Looks like we just started on the final leg of the path to singularity.

With the advances of hyper specialised domain models the one stop shop SaaS and Big Tech are facing extinction. how deep this will go is uncertain, but I can vividly imagine down to transaction level if they can make blockchain work at scale. This is going to be a bumpy ride.
February 24, 2025 at 2:25 AM
I have a feeling big corp will struggle in the AI battle. I can’t see how they will be able to compete against specialised models with built in domain competence. In the near future we will see an avalanche of custom models that will take a big part of the pie.
