The shittiest thing about AI as a SWE is that while it's not the 10x nitro-boost that all the AI hypebeast grifters on here claim it is, it *is* a net ~30% productivity gain (once you factor in all the review, code slop clean up, etc.), which is *just* enough of a boost where you cannot justify not using it. This is a letdown because using AI after years of learning to code without it is of course an ongoing humiliation ritual, (counterintuitively) *more* exhausting/draining than coding by hand, and way less enjoyable in general.

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. It’s June. You should be looking at the unfurled leaves of trees shaking gently in the summer breeze, eating buckets of cherries, and reading a big fat history book you won’t finish.

Optimization can be tricky. Here’s how to go from drawing a few hundred trees to virtually unlimited in Three.js, step by step. This will be high level, but not so much that you can’t fill in the details. #threejs

@GosuCoder It's a very good model, it bullshits less than Claude. I love how dry and direct it is. What reasoning do you rock it with? I usually do medium and low, but lately for some things I've been using xhigh and I've been surprised by it, can be slower but more nuanced and thorough

@djsmith42 I think you are right, but if you think those things don't happen in office or are solved automagically I would say you are wrong. The disfunction may be different or less obvious but it can be as damaging. I think the failure modes are just different and show in different ways

@ThePrimeagen My happy place when programming these days is when I can go days on a project without having to use the internet once, because I have control over almost everything. When I need something, I figure it out and implement it myself. Feels like when I first started as a kid.

@badlogicgames Is it gpt 5.5? It does love making single use small functions... It's annoying. It's even worse when the fun just wraps one line of code. Like... C'mon!

It's 2026 and your CEO just sent you a 2,400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It's a disaster. A dozen unrelated refactors. Unused methods with names like `convertFromBase10` and `normalizeBeforeSerialization`. You catch a few hardcoded API keys, but that's ok. It's part of the dance. They didn't consider that someone might look at this diff. Here's a comment buddy. They respond in an hour (after Copilot, qodo, CodeRabbit and Greptile finish their reviews) saying we shouldn't worry about "implementation details" anymore, those are relics of the past. Hey let's jump into a room and figure it out. We can't just agree to disagree, this is probably my last job in tech and I can't watch this fucker burn the place to the ground. The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of apathy and dread with Hannah the intern (she has to review his AI generated social media posts ever since Grok got too imaginative). That night you go to sleep and have nightmares of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids. You go to work the next day ready to quit. You no longer understand the system. There is no foundation. Time to use those savings and an SBA loan to buy a liquor store and never login to GitHub again.

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names. You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider

Like it or not, in the world we live in now, your attention span is one of the most vital resources you have. More important than intelligence IMO. If your attention span is completely wrecked, purposefully improving it will make a huge difference to your quality of life.
