hub on some new product development tech at X called Jetfuel that makes it lightning fast to build new features across all clients.
To start, this is how fast it is to develop in it. more demos & details in the thread 👇

i am seeing a lot of users concerned about removing blocks. We can make mutes stronger, like not allow people you mute to reply or quote you. We can also transfer you block list to mute list.

My thoughts on threads:

Government spends money with no accountability. It should be criminal to waste tax dollars like this. Buy starlink and cut costs by over 90%!
The gov is spending 3x to 22x the cost of Starlink to connect rural locations to broadband.
For context Starlink hardware is $599.

We released the portal built on this system to all users at X, and the system handled it gracefully.

Good to know, i just signed a lease 😅
Many have offered rich incentives for X (fka Twitter) to move its HQ out of San Francisco.
Moreover, the city is in a doom spiral with one company after another left or leaving.
Therefore, they expect X will move too.
We will not.

Code freeze?? Nope, it’s time to ship all the features
So now that it's December. When will the code freeze start at your company, assuming you have one?
Also, now that the App Store isn't closed during the holidays, does this change anything with the code freeze?

Every line of code is a liability and not an asset. One of my goals is to make this app work with far less code.
Lines of code:
MS-DOS: 4 thousand
WhatsApp: 30 thousand
Telegram: 50 thousand
Zoom: 60 thousand
TikTok: 80 thousand
Space Shuttle: 400 thousand
Minecraft: 500 thousand
Instagram: 1 million

Meta is too good at ad targeting, it serves my friend who likes yogurt, yogurt ads and he has not liked any yogurt posts. It's only possible if you have creepy levels of information about you
Instagram revenue was just disclosed for the first time in court filings.
2018: $11.3B
2019: $17.9B
2020: $22.0B
2021: $32.4B
It makes more in ad revenue than YouTube (and likely at much higher gross margins!)

This is Jim Thorpe. On the morning of the 1912 Olympics his shoes were stolen. Luckily, Jim ended up finding two shoes in a garbage can. But one of the shoes was too big, so he had to wear an extra sock. Wearing these shoes, Jim won two gold medals that day.

Don’t put your engineers in shackles.
It should be possible for principal engineers to work outside the OKR systems, and be ahead of execution or be positioned not to be in the direct path of execution. If you are asking principal engineers to own the execution, you are turning them into managers.

Is there a worse kind of tech debt in software engineering than unfinished migrations?
✔ Makes systems more complex
✔ Future engineering work is ~2x the effort
✔ Becomes harder to undo/finish as time passes

Energy is the economy. We should adopt an abundance mindset and solve energy problems along the way
This is insane: power needs of AI are so big coal fired plants are being kept open.
AI should be forced to prove that its benefits justify the environmental harms, copyright violations, abuse of personal privacy, and operating costs. It’s a long shot.

This is quite an ambitious project across Android, iOS, web, & backend to build the fastest product dev system using cutting edge systems.

The layouts built on this system work cross-platform. Here is a demo of the same changes on iOS.
Unlike other frameworks like React Native, this is fully native (SwiftUI/UIKit) and does not run any JavaScript code. This keeps the app maximally performant and fluid.

compute cost (gpus) and latency are the real bottlenecks today for productionizing LLMs. Glad to see open source community making great strides in this area.
Tokens/sec for a given hardware is a key metric to watch (assuming quality of LLM remains similar)
The pace of open-source LLM innovation and research is breath-taking
I suspect that open-source will soon become unbeatable for anyone except maybe OpenAI
Here's why
- Open-source community is way bigger than any specific company
- Safety lobotomy and fear of bad press will

The easiest way to improve your productivity is ironically by doing less. Focus your full energy on the things that matter the most.
It's a common habit to assume that what you are doing is useful without critical thought
