Have there been any better tech layoff packages in the last few years?

This is probably the best, wow.

Not sure why you're being downvoted but this is the truth if you live in a western country (probably other countries too but I have never lived outside of a non-Western country).

It does feel weird, but it may be the true reality of the future that we're just not used to yet.

Look at all the investment and time being spent on SKILL.md, AGENT.md, etc files, yet alone normal prompts.

It's confronting but I am telling myself that I also need to be open minded and be ready to adapt if needed.

Will be interesting to come back to this post in 5 years time and see how much more the industry has done to prevent this from happening.

There are like hundreds of not thousands of users making similar mistakes with AI daily but only a small fraction would post or complain about it.

Last fall it was 50%. Now it's 75%.

Google still somehow has 190,000 employees though. I'd be interested in seeing if the total lines of code output is actually any different (acknowledging that this is not a good metric in itself, still just curious).

This is a use case of AI image generation that's actually a positive for society.

Anthropic's current valuation is $800 billion.

Atlassian's is $19 billion.

Is Anthropic really worth 40x Atlassian? If so, is it worth them spending just 2.5% of their valuation to acquire Atlassian's 300,000 enterprise customers?

I would be very bullish if this were to happen.

Great story about juggling, thanks.

You don't use the HSBC or Citibank app then I assume?

The majority of the code currently running in production for my company was written 5+ years ago. This was all "hand-written" and much lower quality than the AI generated code that I am generating and deploying these days.

Yet I feel much more connected with my old code. I really enjoyed actually writing all that code even though it wasn't the best.

If AI tools had existing 5 years ago when I first started working on this codebase, obviously the code quality would've been much higher. However, I feel like I really loved writing my old code and if given the same opportunity to start over, I would want to rewrite this code myself all over again.

I don't understand the hate for Meta's attempt at the metaverse.

Since when do we criticize companies for actually doing R&D? We should be striving to build novel technologies, not just maintaining the status quo.

Even if the project 'failed' for now, the engineering lessons learned are valuable assets that will transfer to whatever problem those teams solve next (whether at Meta or elsewhere).

Claude Code creator said Claude wrote 100% of his code last month: https://xcancel.com/bcherny/status/2004897269674639461

It's amazing to think that in the next few years, we may have software engineers entering the workforce who don't know what StackOverflow is...

Google also hired the core Windsurf engineering and research team, not OpenAI:

Interesting to see that you work at OpenAI but had to build a skill like this yourself.

Surprised that you don't have internal tools or skills that could do this already!

Shows how much more work there is still to be done in this space.

This is awesome and hilarious.

Thanks for sharing, that's actually really cool: https://allenai.org/blog/olmo3

Following to see what they do in the future.

This is the result of Google's Windsurf acquisition.

I expect huge improvements are still to be made.

After Anthropic "disrupted" these attackers, I'm sure they gave up and didn't try using another LLM provider to do the exact same thing.

This and the Meta post seem too crazy to be true... Feels uncomfortable that these are the daily lives of sine tech workers compared to my relatively 'relaxed' (but lower paying) tech job.

Thank you for sharing this article. Eye opening.

This is the sort of technology that will actually bring benefit into our lives.

Can't wait to see what advancements will be made in vision-related healthcare over the next 20 years.

Blast from the past.

Can't believe this was a hobby for me and my dad during primary school and now understanding how computers work led me to my current full time job to put food on the table for my own children.

Robinhood's completely down. Even their main website: https://robinhood.com/

I might be missing context here, but I'm surprised to see Yann using language that plays on 'retard.'

That seems out of character for him - more like something I'd expect from Elon Musk. What's the context I'm missing?

Insightful post, thanks for sharing.

What are people's experiences with the uncensored Dolphin model the author has made?

Thank you for sharing this post!

Do you have any concerns that you're only doing push movements? My physiotherapist told me that it's quite easy to build imbalanced muscles by excessively doing only push ups, without incorporating "pull" movements in my exercises too. It seems like you would've come across this in your research but don't think it's an issue seeing as you seem very healthy and happy with your current shape?

This is amazing.

Would never have imagined the day when using Chrome on my personal M3 Macbook would feel slower than my corporate Windows laptop.

I shouldn't have updated to MacOS Tahoe on my Macbook knowing that it was a .0 release. They need to fix this ASAP.

This claim, without a source, runs the risk of being misinformation, which is a massive problem in 2025.

Can you provide a reliable source to verify it?
