You may not like it, but this is what peak vibe coding performance looks like

AI makes your work harder, not easier. I think of it as work density—the percent of time spent expending brain cells. The denser the work, the more exhausting it is. If you have 10 agents running at once, you have 10x the context swaps, each of which requires recovery time. The more density, the higher the recovery time. When you don't take time to recover, you burn out. Working with multiple agents is worse than normal multitasking because you're juggling more tasks. There's nothing new about this. I can't think of a single "time-saving" workplace technology that saved anybody any time. Instead, it forces us to work harder. It increases density. The problem is compounded by moronic management that fires people because of the tech. In practice, firing 50% of your staff means that the remaining 50% have to do twice the work in the same time. It's exhausting. The utopian notion that AI will create leisure time is complete BS. It will just force us to cram more work into the time we have. We need to just stop frantically pushing, pushing, pushing for more and more output and relax. It takes a conscious effort to counter that effect, so make the effort. You will not be "more productive" once you burn out.

Linus Torvalds says, rules prohibiting AI usage are “UTTERLY STUPID” and “idiotic”. For the Linux kernel, Torvalds says, “we’re not going to make stupid rules that say ‘you can’t use tools for X’”.

The key point is to recognize that the more you care for others the greater will be your own sense of peace. It's quite clear that where there is less kindness in the world, there are more problems. When we talk about love, kindness and compassion, it's not a religious matter. It's part of the fundamental reality of relations among social creatures.

We created gyms because modern day work no longer required physical activity. Without exercise, our muscles atrophy. I predict we’ll need gyms for our brains too, once AI starts doing our knowledge work.

Software developers make easy scapegoats because people don't know or understand what we do. The move, in some circles, to eliminate developers entirely stems directly from that ignorance. They don't understand what we do, so they imagine it's easy (and easily replaced by AI). Wrong on both counts. It's not about the coding. We, of course, make matters worse by not going out of our way to be more visible and accessible.

This morning it finally came home to me. I will probably never write another program in C again. Which is a big deal. I've been writing C since 1983. 43 years is a long time and a lot of skill investment. It's not like I didn't see this coming. I've been writing about the decline of C for years, predicting that it would be displaced by newer systems languages with better safety guarantees and more coherent designs. It wasn't better language design alone that did it, though. It's how good LLMs now are at generating code from specs and prompts. This means I can speak a program into existence in Rust or Go without any more effort than would be required to conjure it up in C. What makes this particularly dramatic is that I never learned to hand-code in Rust. And now - I don't need to. What a long, strange trip it's been.

“Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill

Exercise is not punishment for what you ate. It is an investment in the life you still want to live.

I was one of those nerds. You've missed the way I'm adapting to AI, which is by moving *up* the stack rather than down. My job is design and specification now, not coding. I was a hand-coder for nearly 50 years. I find I miss it surprisingly little. I guess I was a designer after all.

Can our TPUs survive and operate in space? Well, we're going to find out. Project Suncatcher is hitching a ride aboard @SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission, testing a prototype satellite built in partnership with @planet One small step for TPUs....

holy shit i asked claude to make a video on western civiization

Congrats to @PalmerLuckey and Anduril for winning the Wildfire XPRIZE - for detecting and suppressing a wildfire within 10 minutes of ignition!

This is the future we shall bring into being

Every day offers a new choice not to be a miserable c*nt.
