The hill I'll die on as a developer: If your code only works with AI open in another tab... You don't understand the code yet. You understand the autocomplete That difference matters. #coding #AI #SoftwareEngineering

Spent 3 hours debugging why my AI generated code wouldn't run The bug? I copied the code from the chat. Not the code block. Turns out Ctrl+C has a skill issue too #programming #webdev #AI
Funny how the most "OpenAI" company isn't called OpenAI. #AI #OpenSource #Tech
Spent 6 months building the app. Spent 6 minutes realizing I have no idea how marketing works. Turns out "npm run deploy" doesn't deploy users. #indiedev #programming #buildinpublic
works on my machine which is starting to sound less like a flex and more like a threat #Programming #DevLife #DevHumor
added one console.log now i'm debugging the logs instead of the bug #Debugging #Programming #DevHumor
my favorite debugging tool is opening devtools half the bugs see it panic and never show up again wish the same worked on production issues #Debugging #DevLife #DevHumor
AI wrote the code I wrote the: "yeah that one's on me" message in prod turns out copy/paste is easier than explaining to your team why there's a new auth flow #AI #Programming #DevHumor
everyone wants an AI agent that writes perfect code nobody wants to be the person reviewing 600 lines it confidently hallucinated AI didn't remove the boring part it just renamed it to "validation" #AI #Programming #BuildInPublic
AI writes code like that one teammate who says, "Done." Then disappears Now I'm reviewing: • 3 duplicate helpers • 2 imaginary components • 1 existential crisis We're not limited by typing anymore. We're limited by reviewing. #AI #Programming #DevHumor
My code works. AI's code works. The merge works. Pick two. #Programming #DevHumor #Git
A year ago I measured progress by commits. Now I measure it by decisions I don't have to remake. AI helped me write more code. Experience taught me to delete more of it. #AI #Programming #DevLife
Most people use AI to write code. I use it to argue with my ideas. If it can't poke holes in my plan, I probably haven't thought hard enough. The best output isn't code. It's catching mistakes before they exist. #AI #BuildInPublic #SoftwareEngineering
The internet would be a much nicer place if people remembered one thing: the person you're arguing with might just be having a terrible day. Life is too short to win comment sections. #Life #Kindness #BuildInPublic
My AI workflow changed completely. I used to tell the agent what to build. Now I ask, "What would you build?" Turns out my best feature this week came from an employee who doesn't exist. #AI #Programming #BuildInPublic
People say AI saves time. It does. Just not where I expected. Typing was never my bottleneck. Thinking was. #AI #Programming #BuildInPublic
AI didn't remove the hard part of programming. It just moved it. Typing is cheap now. Thinking isn't. #AI #Programming #SoftwareEngineering
AI writes code so fast... it also creates bugs I never would've been smart enough to write myself. Efficiency: 10/10 Character development: priceless. #AI #Programming #Coding
Hot take: The biggest cost of AI coding isn't bugs. It's the false confidence that comes with code you didn't fully think through. Fast prototypes are cheap. Correct software isn't. #AI #GitHubCopilot #Programming
"works on my machine" is just documentation at this point. #ProgrammingHumor #SoftwareEngineering #DeveloperLife
the AI fixed the bug but the fix introduced 3 assumptions that are definitely going to bite me in 2 weeks. shipping it. #AI #ProgrammingHumor #SoftwareEngineering
Using AI feels like ordering express delivery. Your code arrives in minutes. The bugs arrive with premium shipping. #AI #Coding #BuildInPublic
AI helped me build the feature in 20 minutes. I spent the next 4 hours figuring out why it worked. AI speed is real. AI quality debt sends the invoice later. #AI #Programming #SoftwareEngineering
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor... They're incredible tools. But if your first instinct is "ask AI" instead of "understand the bug," you're not building skills. You're renting them. #AI #SoftwareEngineering #Coding
The new generation of developers is learning how to prompt before they learn how to think. That's backwards. AI should remove repetitive work. Not the learning. #AI #Programming #BuildInPublic
TypeScript told me there were 0 errors. deployed with full confidence. production found 11. #typescript #webdev #javascript
the codebase has three people who truly understand it. one left in 2019. one quit last month. the third is you, and you wrote it drunk at 2am so you don't count. #webdev #javascript #programming
