1-shot bug fixes in 2-minutes after Claude looped on it 20 times with little progress other than junking up your code over the course of an hour. Also fewer bugs in the first place. But Opus 4.8 for UI, documentation, and architecture-level planning every time. It’s amazing at those things.

It will produce bad code and endless, useless debugging loops really fast. Impressive on the performance but the Chinese models just waste my time at this point. The next generation models might be useful but Qwen, deepseek, and kimi aren’t replacing Claude opus 4.8 or GPT 5.5 yet for me yet. I wish they could. They can’t get serious dev done even with a good harness and instructions and I have tried pretty much everything.

I agree with that assessment. “Learn to prompt” had a short but annoying shelf-life here on X. But “taste and judgement” don’t seem replaceable by ai, at least by LLMs. I would also include Architectural pattern selection, foresight (“implement the security layer first so that it is baked into everything”, “horizontal partitioning vs. tenant isolation”, etc.), and other higher-level ingredients. Maybe eventually…

AI is a tool like a paintbrush is a tool. Put a paintbrush and some paint in the hands of your toddler and you’ll have a mess to clean up. Give it to the average adult and you’ll get bad art. Give it to Michelangelo and you’ll get the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel. It’s the same with “vibe-coding.”

I always laugh when an administrator at a medical office or other organization tells me not to worry about giving them my SSN because they keep it secure. LAX security and incompetence is the norm, not the exception. Agentic AI takes this to another level of risk as we saw with the clawd bot breach this week.

A company that sells cybersecurity risk intelligence to 91% of Fortune 100 companies just got breached through an unpatched React app and a single overprivileged AWS role. LexisNexis. 3.9 million records. 400,000 user profiles. 53 secrets extracted in plaintext from AWS Secrets

Cool it with the "Software is Dead" trope. It's lazy shock rhetoric. All the "Naval gazers" (pun intended) pile on because they think it makes them look smart. Yes, a paradigm shift is happening. No, UI and structured databases are not going away this year.

The Death by Clawd site is the funniest AI I have come across. It's not totally accurate or thorough in it's assessments but there is a kernel of truth to what it says and it's hilarious because of that. Here's what it said about Dynamics 365 (CRM modules, not F&O. Click the link for the full output. Try some other SaaS apps.): 🪦 dynamics "crm" sales and marketing, not financials: CRITICAL Death Score: 52/100 "Microsoft spent billions building Dynamics CRM so sales teams could have a worse experience than typing 'hey Claude, who should I follow up with today?'"

What happens to the economy when half of white collar workers lose their jobs. Not to mention the social/cultural impacts. Business leaders (especially in tech) are aware and they are already laying off workers. But who is thinking about who the products and services will be sold to while this disruption shakes out?

Many of my former colleagues came here on H1B visas and I am happy that they have prospered. This seemed fine when the job market was good and it was hard to get Americans to fill all the jobs. I would tell them they were being taken advantage of because they were being paid half or less than what citizens were paid and sharing apartments. But laying off Americans while applying for H1Bs is nasty work. Thinking about growing my business and hiring these capable American citizens getting unfairly laid off.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (born in India), has filed for about 5,000 H1B visas in 2025, that i could verify. they are just laying off Americans and bringing in as many Indians as possible at this point. could not be any more blatant.

@TheChiefNerd The Fed uses SQL all over the place @elonmusk . I once had an assignment to audit a system in front of a department CIO. I guessed that they left the SQL SA password blank, logged in and used xp_commandshell to add my user account to domain admins. Easiest exploit ever.

@nolanmartino This kind of irrational exuberance is the exact tell for when to expect a crash. In the big short we had pole dancers owning 3 condos in FL. Now we have this…
