The tragic death of a builder
I miss the old days. I really do.
Remember when he’d tweet about some everyday problem and come up with a fix you’d never have thought of? His ideas were innovative and soooo practical. I’d read one and think “Fuck! that’s cool. I could use that today.”
By the next morning there’d be a fucking stripe link lol and month later people were using the thing every day.
Now I open his feed and it’s another vibe coded game, some nostalgia app, pushing anti left political shit. Skyr. Fucking vlogging?
So SaaS is dead? The old Pieter would’ve said hold my beer and fucking invented something.
And to be crystal clear: *He can do whatever the fuck he wants with his time. He earned that*. I just find it sad.
The tragic death of a great builder and the birth of an attention seeking influencer.
That's kind of the problem with X (or not)
It's a bad platform for sponsorships because (for me at least) it's about being as direct, transparent and honest as possible with your "audience"
Also it's not really an audience, it's more like a big internet forum I feel like where you can have cool discussions
The moment you take a sponsorship, the companies pay a lot of money for you to say something specific, that's probably not really what you believe in completely
Your followers immediately can sense that's not your own voice and cringe and very often unfollow, I mean I know I do for sure
But if it's a YouTube video it's kind of accepted "this video is sponsored by ACME, Inc.", nobody cares and it's just a few seconds in a 10 min video anyway so it's fine, it doesn't affect the content usually
That's hard to do on X because look at this tweet, it'd just be hard to fit in a sponsored message here that doesn't sound supercringe!

Awesome 🧠
有人发现了一种非常离谱的 JavaScript 混淆技术：通过在代码里塞入大量生物武器、毒药和致死剂量相关的函数名，让 AI 因为安全限制而拒绝分析代码。
安全研究员 veritas 在分析浏览器指纹脚本时，发现一段来自 ServicePipe 相关域名的 JavaScript，里面充斥着极其诡异的函数名：
computeRicinLethalDosageForWaterSupply
calculateDeadlyLethalSuicideAspirinDosage
光看名字，仿佛在研究生化武器。但实际上，这段代码只是在收集浏览器指纹，包括 User-Agent、GPU、Canvas 等信息。
研究员怀疑，这些名字是开发者故意设置的陷阱，专门用来阻止 AI 辅助逆向工程。
于是他做了个实验：
• Astra：拒绝分析
• Astra + Daybreak Blue：仍然拒绝
• GLM-5.3：成功分析
这就有意思了。
传统代码混淆是通过复杂控制流、加密字符串、无意义变量名，让人类和工具难以理解代码。
而这种新思路，直接瞄准了大模型的安全机制。
代码本身可能完全无害，但只要在函数名里塞进足够多的危险词汇，部分 AI 就可能主动放弃分析。
更讽刺的是，模型越严格遵守某些安全规则，面对这种混淆时反而可能越容易受到干扰。
当然，目前还没有证据证明开发者一定是故意这样设计，也不能说明这种方法对所有模型都有效。
但它揭示了一个值得关注的趋势：随着越来越多的逆向工程依赖 AI，未来的代码混淆技术可能不再只针对编译器、反编译器和人类研究员，还会专门针对大模型的安全判断机制。
以前是让代码难以理解，现在甚至可以尝试让 AI 不敢理解。

Si eres programador y quieres saber dónde va la industria, esto te interesa.
Amazon acaba de publicar una nota donde explican que el rol de desarrollador cambia en su empresa.
Y dan estos 5 puntos clave:
① Aprende a usar IA ya
② Más tokens ≠ productividad
③ Más código ≠ más valor
④ El criterio humano es clave
⑤ Importan los resultados, no las herramientas
Y lo más importante: no sólo produces código, estás creando producto. Debes preocuparte por el cliente y el usuario.
Este último punto siempre me ha parecido importante, pero es que ahora es 100% obligatorio:
aboutamazon.com/news/company…
ALT Página de Amazon News con el titular Actualización de los líderes de ingeniería de Amazon sobre el papel de los desarrolladores en la era de la IA. El texto indica que los líderes revisaron las pautas y destacan que importa el resultado, no las herramientas utilizadas. El diseño es blanco, con texto negro y gris y el logo negro y naranja.

I am working on approximately 17 things simultaneously, and frankly, I find it overwhelming, exhausting, and not very rewarding.
I used to find extreme joy in living with a problem. Keeping all the details in memory, thinking about it deeply for days, iterating and improving.
Now all of that is gone. I am still pretty good at guiding agents - decades of developing and shipping all kinds of software cannot be erased - but I feel that what I considered one of my biggest strengths is diminshing in value.
Anyone working seriously with agents knows this, even if they don't want to admit it. The deep super focused thinking is much more rare now. It is like a muscle - if you don't train it regularly, it gets weaker.
Is that something that we are willing to give up? Something that is no longer needed? Can the new generations of engineers do without it? No idea.
Finally something genuinely new in DeFi, built by some seriously talented OGs.
Been testing Cardinal and really like where this is going. Bullish 🔥
Introducing Cardinal.
Our first product, the Yield Perp, enables 7+ digit yield farming using BTC price action.
Powered by @DeriveXYZ under the hood.
This is only the start of what's possible with derivatives:

TL;DR below 🧵 🔻
Most ppl missed my point.
I'm not saying @levelsio is wrong. He might be 100% right.
But after spending years inspiring a generation of indie hackers, casually declaring software dead without a shred of empathy for those who followed your advice is pretty fucking cold.
Something needs to change with the grilling sessions Matt. Most of the time the recommended answer is *clearly* the way to go and the others almost never offer a interesting alternative
Having shipped the AI Coding Crash Course (largely for beginners/intermediates) means that the upcoming Cohort will be really quite advanced/in-depth
Just recorded an 11-minute /grill-with-docs session about DDD, scenario testing, and sharpening language.
It's so good
