I just stumbled into a Twitch stream and my entire life was validated 5 secs in. Chris is my spirit animal.
It's worth a watch to the end.

I am pleased to announce day 1 support for Anthropic Fable 5 in Netclaw, because we aren't absolute clowns and source our model catalogs directly from their upstream providers so this is literally never a problem with our platform.
Please, pretend it's a huge accomplishment and give us lots of likes and retweets.

When I swapped to a more architectural career path, I naturally evolved to writing lightweight code that could stich together in any POC or quick prototype but also powerful enough to live in prod.
Today, I do a lot of research and context gathering with AI. I have a ton of personal libraries and old code that with my style of doing things. I also still write the hard stuff.
By the time I'm done gathering everything, it's pretty much done. Just need to stitch it all together.
LLMs do something super seniors in the enterprise never do: write code.
Don't get me wrong, the amount of times I paste code back into a harness saying stuff like "wtf is this?? do you have no decency?" It still disappoints... but it mostly my tooling and I learn a few new patterns along the way.
I'll take slop-generator 5000 over a team of super-seniors, all day.

I'm having Grok Build recreate an old product of mine that hosted my client software for years.
I like to think of myself as a 100x giga-chad... but this MF cooked.
I young padawan'd it, described what I wanted, and operate somewhat like this: x.com/Mike_Preston17/status/β¦
Hot take:
1. Use AI for R&D and making small libraries or feature files that can become libraries.
2. STOP trying to one-shot the entire codebase - they're not built for that!
3. Focus on re-using the micro-libraries you make, and watch for ways in which they interconnect.
4. Build product.
We need to learn when to turn off the LLM and when to turn it on (giggity).

New Sherriff in town.
First layeth downeth of the law:
- squash commits only
Keep your filth out of my pristine git history.
In other news, I took an internal transfer for a position that only uses python. I havenβt written python in 15 years. Weβre AI first though babyyyyyy.

My superpower is identifying tech debt.
Problem is, corporate doesnβt like hearing the truth. Attacking a design often gets translated as attacking the person.
Many positions in Enterpriseβ’οΈ are artificially held up by hand waiving and fear of hurting feelings.
My superpower is eliminating tech debt.
Problem is, corporate won't like it if I tell them we need to go back to a monolith, remove most (not all) JS dependencies and NOT rewrite everything in Rust using GenAI and unicorn farts.

So I haven't made a YouTube video or done like a thousand other things I wanted to before I made this public, but since I've already made it OSS...

Hey @grok help a brother out and give me the game plan.
Start with:
- skid steer
- bucket
- grader
- 75k debt (3y @ 0%)
- freedom πΊπΈ
Now you have to pay for that sucker and convince everyone that you're not a failure. Good luck.
Here's the thing... I buy a skid steer, and I sell it and my body for some side cash to pay for it. Profit.

I just want to make enough money to have an apprentice on my estate that fills my coffee, maintains my old repos by hand, and rides a carriage to fetch mail from town.
Robots would be a close second, though.
I'll be coding 'till I'm dead, so I'm happy to train the next gen on my own.
My first boss/PM trained me and he wasn't exactly the best coder in the world - he just knew how to prioritize things, gather requirements, be a DBA and a QA tester - all at the same time.
That's the job. There's not really training for SWE - you just jump in, get firehosed. The real ones are the ones who love coding (and have good taste in it) and stay for the long run.
In fact, if you have impostor syndrome, or are concerned about AI (for the right reasons, not just for your 9-5 paycheck), then you're probably a real one, and I want to keep you around.
As my old PM always told me, "it's people, not software, that is the problem". All AI's going to do is weed out who shouldn't be here.
