so if you want to *use* AI coding agents and not be replaced by them, im hiring 😉 if you are a senior/staff+ engineer, how much time do you think you have left before AI catches up to you? even if it doesn’t, what’s it going to do to your tc when the market is flooded with engineers who didn’t make the cut? if your endgame is to simply upskill yourself to manage AI agents when your company decides to use them, why wait? And it’s a favorable asymmetric risk for you because if im just wrong about all this (adoption is slow / AI doesn’t get that good / FAANGs decide that they need to hire even more), then you shouldn’t have a problem finding another job later. 🤷‍♂️

@aviel actually, I take back everything and think that foundations should be an NGO for affordable office space for low-income startup founders.

saw that Seattle Housing Authority was one of the biggest recipients of govt funding in Seattle to the tune of $300M in 2025. their directors are all making $200-300K, and they’re trying to create and subsidize low income housing in a hcol area, which seems like it would artificially create demand and constrain supply. not saying that a single NGO can influence the housing market that much, but it doesn’t make any economic sense.

I think $NET is really well positioned as a super scalable and affordable cloud software with a good dev experience. some of their technology is very innovative, and I think that startups will reach for CF more as a platform to build agents. Specifically with durable objects and workflows. idk if anyone is working on anything quite like it.

. @threepointone or @KentonVarda can you describe more how you use migrations on Durable Objects in production settings please? Specifically, it seems like a flaw that if you work in a collaborative environment, one person could add/modify/delete a Durable Object in a staging env, and now that staging env is unusable to everyone else until they pull in those migrations.

@PeilinYang i always enjoyed working with you, and i learned a lot about Kafka thanks to you! 🫡

wow, i had a feeling that @DOGE deregulating shit would help Tesla and SpaceX, but i would never have guessed that it would help X first

first time visiting delhi, and the chaos is incredible. one of my friends hooked us up with a driver, and that has made our trip much better. i heard uber is safe, but safe is… pretty relative. it’s funny how the traffic lanes seem to be purely decorative. on the same road, i saw a motorbike with three people, a three wheeled car, a Rolls Royce, and this dude just pedaling hard on a bicycle. got some advice about only drinking bottled water and avoiding uncooked foods, so no food/stomach issues so far and getting to enjoy great Indian cuisine.

@brantsui this was based on a 30 min conversation on a topic i know very little about, so grain of salt

@brantsui yeah, can't knock that

@TheMindChopper idk, maybe just short telecoms haha

probably deeply misunderstanding how cursor works, but one thing that never really worked for me with composer is that it's hard to see diffs across multiple files. imo, github has already solved this. rather than handing over control to cursor and potentially causing unintended changes, i'd rather use composer like i use devin -- just kick off a task and code review in github later.

see, now o3-mini comes out with more competitive pricing, and people will get over their deepseek/llama/mistral hype in a few days. I’m glad that competition exists, obviously, but the only model that matters is the best model

@svaaana right? I think he said it used to, though

anyways, about to take off on this 5 hour flight with no WiFi because of technical issues. 🙃
