On my way to learn AI by building an app: ✅ Figure out user flow ✅ GraphQL resolver to upload the CSV Next up: ⏳ UI (although I like Altair 🤪) ⏳ Job Queue for the AI stuff I recorded a screencast this time #code #buildinpublic teapaw.org/swashata/status/194318…
I have the basic app (Nextjs & my old own GraphQL server) up & ready and have figured out to have AI analyze the statements. Next 👉 - Create API & UI - Ready the MVP - 🚀 😅 🙀 I thought I'd share some code sneak peek too 😬 teapaw.org/swashata/status/194103…

Why is everyone talking about 19 20 and 46 🤷

Hot take: What if, instead of AI replacing programmers, programmers use AI to replace every other professional? 😁 Renovating a house? Why hire an architect? Just ask Astra.

Hmm, perhaps it really is over. Today for the first time I opened ChatGPT before I opened my terminal or slack 🙀

Nice try @urbancompany_UC , you are now blocked 🤣 Send me a letter when you actually become a phone app to count my missed calls

It's all good and everything. But why create the cross platform? Anyone from those platforms can also make similar wish 🤷
Now fully cross platform for all major operating systems

Today is day off people, Codex is down. Let's go on a vacation 🌴🥥🏖️

Just an evening rant: If my $100/mo agent can't understand your $10/mo SaaS, then no, I won't use it 😅

So @ChatGPT introduced a snake game while it's thinking? Pretty nice I must say

How I do code reviews these days: more code = more selective human review i.e. don't read all the code. 1. Every PR gets a multi-agent first pass. It should find bugs, verify them, rank by severity, suggest fixes. Approval stays a human call on anything that matters. 2. Low blast radius changes on less sensitive code (there's often a lot!) can skip a deep human review once that review is clean. This helps keep the explosion of PRs manageable. 3. Core / sensitive paths still need an owner and human sign-off. That's where you spend time: verification, constraints and earning trust in what the agents can safely cover. You want to keep recoverability. Agents do the first pass and humans cover blast radius. Great question from @GergelyOrosz!
If you’ve stopped doing human code reviews: how is it going? If you’re still doing them: how are you able to keep up with the explosion of code + PRs, and how do you prioritise what to review “properly”?

How awesome would it be to just ask your agent to find a customer like this? Or perhaps let your agent handle it all 😉
Here's another one! I will stop for today (っ^з^)♪♬

Has anyone made a "make no mistake" skill yet? MnM, anyone? 🤔🤔

Saw someone say in LinkedIn promoting a strong engineer to lead was a mistake because the team stopped asking questions, the lead solved everything. What a stupid take!!!! Coach them to guide instead of solve. Just groom them to become the technical leader.

I switched off Claude & Codex. All three of us need some rest 🫩 😮‍💨

Experimenting with [redacted secret project] and I can't stop myself 😁. Too bad my demo data shows decline rather than growth, but I am too lazy to run it again 🙈

We spent years complaining about code reviews. Then AI came along and made us full-time code reviewers. The irony 😼 Whatever keeps the lights on, I guess. 😅

Oh come on! I like AI a lot, but this is just overstatement on steroids

ChatGPT is like the fun distant cousin who's very fond of you and always smiling and want to talk. Claude on the other hand, my oh my 😅

Is intelligence really about brute forcing language? 🤔

Sometimes all you need is a nice prompt. Or maybe a few bad prompts before that 🤭
