Disagree with me. Agree with me. I'm all ears either way. I learn by listening, and ideate by conversation.

After being annoyed by having to deal with DNS records directly, I decided it was time to make an agent skill focused on interfacing with porkbun. It fixed my DNS issues with ease. You can find it here: skills.sh/ryanb58/agentskill… Enjoy!

Quick vibe-coding tip: -> update Claude Code daily. Changelog: github.com/anthropics/claude…

As AI begins to write more and more code, you might start to wonder one of the following: “Why do we even need Software Engineers anymore?” “Am I about to be replaced by an LLM that writes cleaner code than I do?” And honestly… those are fair questions. But they also miss the bigger picture — and a bit of history. Software engineering has always evolved alongside automation. When we moved from assembly to higher-level languages, people said the same thing: “This will replace programmers.” When frameworks abstracted away boilerplate, the fear was the same. When cloud platforms automated deployment pipelines, again — the same anxiety. But each time, engineers didn’t disappear. They leveled up. They shifted from syntax to systems thinking. From typing code to designing outcomes. From how something gets built to why it should exist at all. And that’s where the next era is taking us again. The Software Engineer of tomorrow isn’t just writing code. They’re AI-fluent — orchestrating tools, reasoning about data, understanding trade-offs, and guiding automation toward meaningful impact. If AI is the new junior developer, then great engineers are becoming the new architects of intelligence — designing, validating, and steering what the machines build. ⸻ We’re not witnessing the death of software engineering. We’re witnessing its graduation — from code creation to intelligent system design. ⸻ Looking for your next AI-fluent role or team? 👉 provn.co/?utm_source=x&utm_m… Want to read more of my thoughts? 👉 taylorbrazelton.com

Lately I’ve been noticing something interesting in how companies hire and promote. They’re not chasing long lists of technical skills. They’re not obsessed with fancy jargon or perfect resumes. They’re looking for two things. And honestly… they’re not even new. ✅ Great communication ✅ AI fluency That’s it. But those two skills are changing careers right now. ⸻ Great communication Not “give a great presentation” communication. I mean the simple, human stuff: • explaining your thinking clearly • giving updates that calm the room • being honest about blockers • helping people understand where things stand without digging It’s underrated. But it’s the thing that makes teams trust you. ⸻ AI-Fluent Not AI-expert. Not “build your own LLM” energy. Just someone who uses AI the way we all learned to use Google: • to work faster • to unblock yourself • to draft, iterate, refine • to automate the boring parts • to make better decisions, faster AI-fluent people look like they’re working at 2x speed. Leadership notices that. ⸻ And here’s the real magic: When someone communicates well and uses AI well… they instantly show up as the person everyone wants on their team. They move fast, keep people informed, adapt quickly, and make the whole system smoother. That’s who gets promoted. That’s who stands out. That’s who becomes “the one we can’t afford to lose.” ⸻ If you’re building these two skills right now? You’re not behind. You’re early. Opinion: I think “great communicator AI-fluent” is the new baseline. The people who embrace both — without ego — are about to unlock some serious career tailwinds. ⸻ Looking for a new role?

Nailed it.

Not only did I redesign my personal site recently… taylorbrazelton.com/ I also posted something new to help people deal with the 💩 storm that is startup land. taylorbrazelton.com/2025/09/…

Big tech is currently a masterclass in how to get people to do things against their will.

Added cool partial effects to the landing page! Question is… are they distracting? Do they even matter? HTTPS://provn.co

My favorite time to merge and PR and deploy my code is during peak usage hours. When users are flooding in. Stress Test.

In today’s world, you can build your own 100 million dollar a year startup using only pseudo code and a good LLM. Why haven’t you done it yet?

If FastAPI Pydantic is good enough for OpenAI.. then why isn’t it good enough for you?

Busy morning. Good thing we have AI. I’ll be using it to say no to the rest of the meetings or recap them.

Today, my @tesla Model 3 saved my fiancée, dog, and my life. While using @Tesla_AI in Full Self-Driving mode on a morning drive to pick up brunch, we approached a green arrow to turn left. My car hesitated. I was confused and felt like it was going against my will. That's when, all of a sudden... Wham BAAM! A wall burst past us and T-boned the car next to us going straight. I immediately went to park and check on the driver. He was okay—a young 20-year-old by himself, physically fine. I gave him my number and sent him the footage later. Crazy the impact having an assistant watching 360 degrees around you can make on the people you love and your own life. @WhamBaamX

How would you handle this?

SAAS is NOT dead. Everyone saying this hasn't throught it through.😂

It's okay to not be at 100% all the time.
