Become a programmer, become inevitable

AI won’t replace programmers, but rather make it easier for programmers to replace everyone else.



I use nvim and I wouldn’t recommend newer programmers to jump into it (esp if they aren’t familiar with vim keybindings) As long as it’s a fast and extensible text editor where you can incrementally learn about lsps, grepping, and etc, it’s fine

use neovim, folks



No. Learn your keyboard shortcuts

A common Programmer brag is being extremely adept at keyboard shortcuts. Tiling WMs, TUIs, Vim keybindings everywhere, etc... But is it actually faster? Apple spent $50 million on R&D in 1989 to prove otherwise:

I never understood the pride some people take in not learning programming. It’s not the flex you think it is.

AI tools will reduce the need for software engineers the same way that no-code tools reduced this. Being able to specify what software you want to build, how it should be structured, and how *exactly* it should work is... programming. And getting into the weeds, when needed.

Define “Peak Fiction”



This whole zero sum game mentality is cringe man

Software engineers are highly-paid farmers, tending their crops by hand. We just invented the combine harvester. The world is going have a lot more food and a lot fewer farmers in very short order.

I agree with the sentiment on removing noise, but readability needs to begin at some layer. And even if LLMs become pure codegen interfaces, I’d rather talk to them programmatically.

This applies to codebases too Most codebases are organized into files/folders to organize for humans to click through Easier to simply make the entire multi million line codebase one file



I'm not necessarily against non-terminal editors, but writing code in an electron app is asinine

VScode is DOG SHIT SOFTWARE and every. single. technical. person. i know. does NOT TOLERATE IT



Doing anything math and physics adjacent will be positive ROI…this is bad advice

Now is a turbulent time in our economy. My eldest son just started college. He asked me what careers to pursue, and what to avoid. Here’s what I told him:

Was r1 ever SOTA? Maybe for OSS but it never surpassed O1…unless I’m missing something

In just the past few weeks: o1-pro was SOTA Deepseek r1 was SOTA o3‑mini was SOTA Grok 3 was SOTA Claude 3.7 was SOTA Can you feel the acceleration?
