Can you tell if this backing track was AI generated... just by listening? 🎸🤖 We recently shared a backing track and asked people to guess. The twist? It was AI generated. Built using Dhun AI @fretpracticenow, our in-house music generation engine powering FretPractice. The line between human-created and AI-assisted music is getting blurrier every day. Could you tell the difference? We're launching it publicly next week. Drive link in first reply. 🎧 Listen and let us know: Human or AI? #AI #MusicTech #GenAI #Guitar #BackingTrack #FretPractice #MusicAI #IndieHackers #Startup

I'm still available for long-term / short-term projects. If you need any help in mobile apps, do reach out. DMs are open.

What I’m hearing: Instagram’s Trust and Safery org absolutely gutted the last few weeks. ~60% of the org gone - between layoffs and forced reassignments to data labelling. All while “AI maxxing” pushed a bunch of bugs to prod. And hence why today’s massive Insta account takeover happening.

Hi everyone, Rivu is a smart, honest guy and a good friend. If your company or any company you know has any opening suitable for him, do refer him. Your company won't regret it. Also share on LinkedIn if possible. linkedin.com/in/rivuchk

Many such cases.

Not to mention, without an offer letter it's a high risk for the candidate. There's no written agreement on what was agreed on. A job at the end of the day is a contract where the employee provides services and gets paid for it.

One constant from past few months of my life.... 🫠🫠🫠

I was quiet on @fretpracticenow for some time. The reason is I didn't have time to even raise my head. So we finally released the android app on playstore, remaining platforms (MacOS & iOS) coming soon. We launched at Let There Be Guitar event yesterday. Had detailed discussion with @chandreshkudwa and @ChiragTodi on what we're missing and what to build. Interacted with a crazy amount of guitarists and they all loved the app 🎉

I remember having jira tickets for migrating to synthetics 4 years ago.... felt some sort of achievement for modernizing the stack lol..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here we haveAI support and samsung itself promoting GalaxyAi... but @SamsungMobile and @SamsungIndia human support system is worse than AI support If your human support is like this, please replace with AI FYI thread is unresolved from Dec, 2025 and this efficiency 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

In America, doctor say you need to walk more. But if you routinely walk more than 2 blocks, you become "that guy" and everyone in your town starts recognizing you and assuming you're a brokie with a DUI and probably also a sex pest. To avoid this fate, you have to get a dog. Which means on your long walks you will be holding a plastic bag full of shit half the time. The final option is a treadmill, at which point your mental enslavement to Netflix or cable news is completely consummated with no hope of emancipation

Software engineering reduces to just project management at places where there is no innovation. In those environments, the work shifts. You are not designing systems or solving hard problems. You are mostly tracking tickets, syncing with stakeholders, and making sure things land on time. This usually does not happen overnight. It shows up when there is a lack of ambition, both top-down and bottom-up. Roadmaps become safer, fewer new ideas are explored, and most energy goes into coordination, maintenance, and delivery. Over time, bureaucracy takes over. This is worth thinking about when you are evaluating where to work. Look at how often teams experiment, how problems are framed, and whether new ideas are encouraged. A team's energy around innovation is a signal. The job title stays the same. The work does not.

Pure vibe coding is a Ponzi scheme. Eventually, the technical debt comes due, and if you don't understand the foundations, you can't pay it off.

android engineers are massively sleeping on AI right now. the gap between what's possible and what's actually being implemented is shocking. and no, i'm not talking about calling an AI API. that's the easy part.

And then people say AI is gonna reduce jobs... see.... its more jobs... 🤣🤣🤣 To be honest not much different getting tickets from human or AI at this point of time

Lol.... chinese whispers are here to stay.... XD I find it hilarious creators now have to correct the things about themselves for the misinformation other people are spreading... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The head of US cybersecurity just demonstrated exactly why every company blocks ChatGPT by default. DHS built an internal AI tool called DHSChat specifically designed to keep sensitive data inside federal networks. ChatGPT was blocked department-wide. Gottumukkala requested a special exception anyway. He got it. Then he uploaded documents marked “for official use only” until automated alerts started firing. One official summarized it: “He forced CISA’s hand into making them give him ChatGPT, and then he abused it.” This is the pattern playing out across every enterprise right now. Executives demand access to the shiny consumer tool. IT builds a secure alternative. Leadership bypasses it. Data leaks. Samsung banned ChatGPT after engineers uploaded source code. Amazon warned employees after finding internal data in ChatGPT outputs. Apple, JPMorgan, Verizon, Deutsche Bank all blocked it. The lesson keeps repeating: the people with the most access to sensitive information are the ones most likely to bypass controls, because they assume the rules exist for everyone else. Public ChatGPT sends everything you upload to OpenAI. That data can train future models. It can surface in responses to other users. 800 million people use ChatGPT. Your “for official use only” document is now part of that pool. Enterprise AI policies exist because convenience always beats security until something breaks.

Okay, I'm in a bit of a sentimental mood (it's those Sunday evenings, man), but here's one thing that I keep thinking about: I wish we all would respond to the loss that some programmers feel right now with a bit more grace. Some reactions can come across as "it's always been about shipping, dummy" or "huh-duh it's never been about the code, always the results". And that feels a bit deaf, doesn't it? I mean, let's be honest, for many of us it's been about more than that. Lots of programmers — myself included! — feel a great amount of joy when they see (or even better: write) the perfect line of code, where abstraction and syntax and semantics meet and hug and everything comes together. We travelled to meetups and conferences and had hour long conversations with strangers about favorite styles of writing code, about keyboards, colorschemes, keybindings, syntactic flourishes, ways to comment code, cherished parts of standard libs, beautiful ways to rewrite a function that we've all written. I know a guy who said he makes life decisions based on whether he gets to work with a certain programming language more or less. Digesting the fact that things are changing and that some things we cherished might be replaced by other things — that takes a different amount of time for different people.
