product idea: If you are interviewing for a new role, upload the JD, company, any other context, and have AI generate a koans like study guide for you. Can vary depending on how well the language or framework for which you will be assessed

What are people using for workflow management these days in Rails? I use @sidekiq but I really miss something like @temporalio. I'm not sure I want to stand up that infra right now. Is there a happy medium?

The hardest part about AI is getting a human to review my massive vibe coded PRs

The biggest mistake I made learning to code with AI is not reviewing its code. I know it sounds trivial. But I think like most people I believed it was more magical that it is. It needs context and direction and works amazingly well if kept on the rails. But you must review its

code like you are leading a team of Stanford CS interns. Incredibly smart but perhaps start getting too fixated on details that don't matter.

AI coding with @cursor_ai @claudeai @GoogleAI etc has made me a 10x engineer. I produce 10x the technical debt 10x faster.

San Francisco is not ready for RTO. @SFBART has been working on this escalator for at least a month. Today more escalators out at Embarcadero. Hard to believe we call SF a tier 1 city.

Someone needs to make a special rewards card/wallet for AI spend specifically. It would be a good distribution network for new products

I'm so tempted to get a group of people together building 1-person startups using AI agents to help them build. Weekly meetings. Daily standups. Sharing tips, ideas and pitfalls. It'd be free but you'd have to apply. If that sounds interesting, reply and we'll see what happens.

remember when Deep Seek news hit and everyone freaked out that demand for GPUs might go down? I'm using more and more AI on more powerful and powerful models and I don't see that stopping anytime soon. Also #PeaceNotWar

What is the cheapest model to handle natural language logic? Let’s say I’m building an email marketing system and it has automations. One tactic could be to respond with a follow up email if the user seems interested by replying to the email message. Is there a cheap model that can handle β€œis the response to this email following the instructions β€˜please reply with your favorite color to receive the promo code’”? Writing the code for this would be insane and would never catch all edge cases. But would be a perfect fit for an LLM
