Not knowing how to code giving you an advantage is absolute nonsense.
The more you understand, the better your prompts, the better the feedback you give, the better product you ship.
What will change is that the intricacies of syntax, compilers, module systems, the finer details of type systems, won’t matter as much to everyone.
But you should absolutely understand how the pieces fit together. From syscall to pixels. Learn how data flows, because you’ll be able to secure your systems. Learn about performance, because you’ll be able to push your agent further. Learn about APIs, because they determine how to integrate systems. Learn about how systems fail, because you’ll be able to make reliable programs.

this is empirically not true. LLMs are great amplifiers of technical talent, not equalizers. almost everyone who’s at the frontier of model use was working with computers pre LLMs.
"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage."
Replit CEO Amjad Masad:
"You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner."
"If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this."
"Coders get lost in the details."
"Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things."
"I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur."

You’re bearish on a fully anonymous dex powered by a deflationary token with staking + stealth swap coming very soon?

only checks regular posts so replyguys get shafted, also wasn't really closing its own tabs properly so they'd stack up over time for some reason but worked well enough for ~1k accs for me
need all the egirls that follow me to blow this up and tell him to open source it

Crime is not random
Only 0.2% of people ever commit murder, yet **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests
When the crime-inclined people are stopped, the crime stops.
You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.
El Salvador is a great example of this
oh this is much bigger than I initially thought. which was initially big btw
The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 8 days. Everyone thinks this is about oil. This is about what oil becomes. 92% of the world's sulfur comes from refining oil and gas. Close the Strait of Hormuz and you don't just lose 20 million barrels of crude per day. You lose the feedstock for sulfuric acid, the single most produced chemical on Earth. Sulfuric acid is how we extract copper. It's how we extract cobalt. Without it, you can't make transformers, EV batteries, or the substrates inside every data center on the planet. One chemical, made from one feedstock, shipped through one chokepoint. The cascade goes further: Qatar ships 30% of Taiwan's liquefied natural gas through Hormuz. Taiwan has 11 days of reserves left. TSMC, the company that makes 90% of the world's advanced chips, draws 8.9% of Taiwan's total electricity. No gas, no power, no chips. Then food. 33% of the world's nitrogen fertilizer feedstock moves through the Strait. Half of all humans alive today exist because of synthetic nitrogen. Sulfur, semiconductors, food. That makes three supply chains, one 21-nautical-mile chokepoint, and zero domestic alternatives at scale.
Never been more bearish on Microsoft as a product in my entire life. Completely out of touch. They’re just riding the corporate pigtails at this point.
2026 is the year of the linux desktop, gaming included!
