1/n The AI Engineer YT channel is my favourite for nuts-and-bolts knowledge about building AI systems. They just had their conference and uploaded a ton of great content. I will post the best of them on this thread. #ai #aiengineer

Writing code manually after using AI for a while feels like driving stick after driving using automatic. It's good to know that the muscle memory is still there and driving stick is much more fun. #AI

I was speaking to @paulphilp.com last weekend about some code editing challenges I have been having with AI, and he suggested I try t3.chat by @t3.gg - Holy crap, I love this tool! Access to the best AI models for $8/m. Thought it was worth sharing with the rest of you geeks.
T3 Chat - The Best AI Chat Ever Made
All the best models - all in one place. Built for people who want the best. Only $8/month for pro!

This is the best video about software design I have seen in a long time. He's thinking a level deeper than most of the usual conference speakers.
John Ousterhout is a legend: the author of A Philosophy of Software Design, taught software design at Stanford, (possibly the first and only software design class for university students) created the Tcl programming language - and currently is busy contributing to the Linux Kernel (!)

Don't even think about writing concurrent code in Typescript without @effect-ts.bsky.social . That is so 2024.
@effect-ts.bsky.social by now is the most mature structured concurrency library available in TS with an amazing ecosystem and community. Been using it since 2020 and it’s a game changer for taming highly concurrent code.

#AI Pro Tip. If you ask an AI coding tool to build a component or a library with a moderate about of complexity and functionality, assume it will be overcomplicate the design and coach it to simplify it. This will save all the non-converging cycling such tools are so fond of.

AI-assisted coding has been a journey! The learning curve felt like picking up a new TypeScript framework. Now it's like pair programming with a clever junior – we both contribute, but I'm still leading the way. Same old concerns remain, though. #AI #coding #typescript

One of the best things about AI coding tools? No distractions, no politics, just pure focus. Solved a tricky problem today by asking my AI assistant for library suggestions. Pro/con analysis and implementation in minutes. #AISolutions #CodingLife #Productivity

Trying out a new avatar. It captures how my career feels in 2025. What do you think?

Is "Tab to Complete" making AI coding agents obsolete for most tasks? I'm only reaching for the full agent UI when truly stuck or facing large blocks of code. Getting the bulk of the productivity gains without the... personality quirks. 😉 #AI #IDE #vibecoding

Here's a phrase you don't hear everyday - "King of Canada" - newly sworn in PM Carney swore allegiance to King Charles III, King of Canada.

At some point yesterday, it looked like my TS LSP stopped working in Cursor. I had just updated, so I thought it was a bug. I can code without AI but I can't code without squiggles.

It wasn't a bug. Claude 3.7 put a ts-nocheck at the top of all the TS files.

Time for a new cursor rule!

This is plain weird. This guy sits outside the oval office. I'm starting to feel like the dog that's about to get wagged.

The number of people who are MCP curious has started to accelerate in the past couple of weeks. Are the early adopters moving in?

I am writing an article on AI coding. This is what it feels like.

Good points from @catalinpit.com.

"The amount of broken applications and tech debt they create will feed developers for tens of years."

"Because I use it daily, ... I know it's not what some people make it look like."

Hon, wake up, Matt Pocock just released a new AI course.

Oh, never mind, I am busy now!
My first AI course is complete... And it's free!

It's a 16-lesson tutorial on Vercel's AI SDK. It's the missing piece for working with AI in TypeScript.

No bullshit, no hype. Just solid, practical advice.

It's very fast.

t3.chat is now live! We grinded hard for this one. It's the fastest AI chat app ever made. Don't believe me? Give it a shot, it's free.

Programming has many difficult sync challenges. Now, memory sync - keeping what you remember and what your LLM remembers in sync. Your LLM just up a forgets stuff all the time. That design of a type-safe env system from 10 minutes ago. I remember but Claude doesn't, so it uses a new one. Grrr.

Factory installed.
Me, wisely: All code styles are basically equivalent; each team should simply pick one and stick with it. Style wars are the sign of a lesser mind

You: OK, given that, can we use my preferred style instead of yours?

Me: Fuck off directly into the sun with your unreadable indentation rules, no
