Hey, can someone ask Pam Bondi what level the Dow has to fall to before we hold pedos accountable? www.cnn.com/2026/03/03/i...

Every time someone tells me they’re vibe coding an app, I think of this.

I host all my course videos on @bunny.net The AI generated chapter markers are actually pretty good. This is the kind of thing LLMs are useful for. Low stakes, manual, but predictable tasks.

Seeing Anthropic and Google complain about distillation is particularly delicious because those Chinese firms paid for API access, unlike certain companies that just looted the internet. Let me break out the world’s smallest violin. Your product has no moat.

No Rest for the Wicked, Abiotic Factor, and Dispatch are the best games I’ve played in the last year and it’s not close.

Remember folks. If you want to break into gaming, you need a few years of experience with the exact tools in the job description. If you want to be the CEO of Xbox, you need no gaming industry experience at all. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

New rule. We’re either in a “national emergency” or the president gets to golf.

Don’t worry advertisers, you’re not paying for bots. Says the guy who cheats on his video game profiles.

Can’t wait to see how vibe coders handle this. vist.ly/3mzwmp8

There is a generation of new devs whose minds are blown by the idea that you can retrieve HTML snippets from a server and update just parts of the page. Congrats! In 2003 we called that AJAX.

Yes, my son, phones used to be physically attached to a wall and could, in a pinch, be used as bludgeoning weapons.

Happy Friday! Just remember if you have AI anxiety that while AI CEOs are hyping worker replacement, Apple can't even get it to summarize emails and texts with Siri.

Crafting good assessments and feedback rubrics are arguably the most important and challenging parts of the learning experience. The availability of AI tools has only increased the challenge. What are your plans for proper assessment going forward?

One thing I've learned about the education space over the years is how bad the vendor lock-in is in this space. I think I'm going to do something about it. Stay tuned.

I would have to be pretty desperate for work to show up for an interview and find an AI avatar waiting for me and not just immediately close the session. I wonder how many professionals with in-demand skills and employment options would do the same?

As an IT professional, let me assure the non tech audience that whatever level of concern you might have about DOGE and security leaks, isn’t enough.

Funny but not funny. If the vibe coders took 6 months learning to code, they’d be orders of magnitude more productive. Even if they luck their way to a viable product, someone with actual skill and the same tools can just make a better version. Ask AI about second mover advantage.

A funny thing to me about vibe coding is that most of these apps are easily built on no code platforms that have been around for years. The tech illiterate people celebrating this just aren’t aware of them.

A little bit dark, but I have to ask people who live in high wage/high cost of living countries: If all you're doing is prompting an AI tool to get all the work done, what makes you think anyone will pay you a living wage to do so? You're adding zero value to the process.

Anyone ever wonder why, if Open AI $10k /month senior dev is effective, why they wouldn’t just become a major software platform and destroy every other SASS company on the planet?

Claude is by far my favorite frontier model. However, I have mixed feelings about 3.7 so far. It really likes to do things you don't ask it to do. Still the best coding model though. Still not replacing developers.

A lot of the time when I first get called into consult on learning experiences I find either a text wall or a video "information dump" that serves as training. We can do so much more for our learners. If information dumping all learners need, then the completion rate of MOOCs wouldn't be under 5%.

Unsophisticated wrapper around LLM is this generation’s “Todo” app.

Maybe I'm being overly critical, but if you're doing a remote interview: - Have your camera on. - Make sure your space is clear of clutter. - Make sure there isn't a lot of background noise. Some candidates really aren't thinking about how they present themselves.

This $5M US citizenship thing. How about you let me sell mine. I’ll throw in my house and a few acres of land and happily live the rest of my days abroad.

I wonder how much money some decision makers could earn if they blocked off a few hours of their time a month and let people bid on booking a meeting with them. I'd be more than happy to listen to any sales pitch for the right price... What do you think?

If you're worried about AI tools replacing you as a developer, just go read the GitHub issues for some of them. "Doesn't work" "OMG it's burning so many tokens failing, stop charging me!" "It fails when the project gets 'large'" (they think large is 30 files) etc.

One of the most infuriating things about AI is what companies aren't doing. Client sends me an email with some days and times to meet. How about you highlight the ones where I'm available and pre-fill a meeting invite for me? #WhoTheHellIsTheProductManager

I'm kind of curious. Would any technical hiring managers in my network hire a candidate who couldn't code Fizzbuzz without AI? It's not like this is a new hiring issue. I used to regularly interview candidates who couldn't code at all: https://vist.ly/3mvy7ff

A little over 20 years into my career and so many people still don't understand the concept of: Fast Cheap Good Pick two.

As I’ve been saying, if you have AI anxiety, touch grass, continue growing your skills. futurism.com/openai-resea...

Watching Microsoft and OpenAI shifting their message to "ease up on the hype train" is vindicating for me. Also, watching OpenAI launch search was interesting as I've been warning AI SAAS products that they don't have a good moat. (Looking at you, Perplexity). Happy Monday! Be safe out there!

Remember in Ready Player One when the executives were excited about how they could cram more ads into the view without giving people seizures? I feel like Google Search saw that and said, "Hold my beer and watch this"

One thing that stands out to me when I'm advising on tech hiring is how few people in the hiring process have been trained. I think most leaders agree that having the right people on staff is important, so why is there a lack of investment in training the people doing the hiring?

I've been hearing rumblings of "leetcode" interviews starting to go away. I predicted this a while ago, and it's interesting. If AI tools can solve these problems without actual reasoning, then why did so many people think they were good selection criteria? (I've never used them in my hiring)

At the time of this writing, the training data for Claude is from April 2024. One of the downsides of AI tools in tech, especially in things like cyber security, is that they aren't current. It's important to know the training cutoff when you use a model!

One of the current techniques to improve accuracy is to have multiple AI agents work on the same task. If they agree enough, we assume it's good enough to go to the next stage. Just remember, the consensus of these tools was that there are 2 r's in strawberry. Consensus <> Correctness

Happy Valentines Day. Make sure to take the time to show appreciation for those around you. Shelby, I couldn't do any of this without you! <3

Anyone else confused how Altman can claim “PhD level reasoning” and also claim AI can do 5% of all tasks in the economy today. I mean, I know we joke about how those who can’t do, teach, but I’m pretty sure the average PhD can do more than 5% of tasks.

Remember that game we played as children, where we all sat in a circle and tried to pass a secret all the way around? Remember how the message ended up being no where close to correct when it was done? That's Agentic AI in 2025.

Why couldn't Google create a super bowl ad for their AI product without hallucinations in it? What chance does an SMB have of getting it right? Why would anyone attempt to use these tools without supervision for anything that requires precision? Why are the Kansas City Chiefs so overrated?

Most AI SAAS startups in 2025.

Remember that movie, The Butterfly Effect? That’s basically how I explain to non technical people why agentic AI won’t work out the way they hope. If any part of the chain hallucinates or comes to an incorrect outcome that error will compound further down the line.

Want to inspire loyalty as a leader? Start with transparency.

Some people just don’t think like crony capitalists. “Elon is alienating Tesla buyers” He will make way more money with regulatory capture of EV charging networks with the politicians he owns.

Being a founder is very lonely. No one cares the way you do. No one will work as hard as you on your business (rightfully so, but still). No one sees the extra hours you put in. Do you know a founder? Give them a hug. Show genuine interest in what they're doing. It's always appreciated!

Studies are starting to come out showing that over-reliance on AI tools causes a drop in critical thinking. I mean, duh? If you had a "friend" do your homework back in the day, did it make you understand the topic better?

When engaging in deep learning, you should have notes and a journal. Notes are your documentation, organized by topic, with details, and serve as quick references. The "what". Journals log your learning narrative. Insights, progress tracking, struggles, and achievements. The "why and how".
