Nobody is talking about this: If AI is going to replace humans, who's going to pay for AI subscriptions?

Hey @grok, When does AI make software architects obsolete? I map out system architecture and design software structures. Be honest

Hot take: Vibe coding is loved most by people who have never written a single line of code.

Thinking about running a real-world e-commerce experiment: a specialty coffee brand for devs, roasted and shipped fresh to your door. ​Would you buy coffee from a founder you follow on X, or is that too weird?

Unpopular opinion Your results with AI depend heavily on how smart you are. What's your take?

Software engineering students are learning the fundamentals of programming in college right now. Imagine the shock when they get to the real world and learn that nobody writes or reads code anymore.

Never in AI history has a frontier model held the top spot for an entire month without getting dethroned. Opus 5.5 needs to be studied.
Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

Imagine OpenAI finally catching up with Opus 5.5, only for Anthropic to announce Fable 5.5 the next day.

Is there a way to skip OpenAI and Anthropic entirely and code with a FREE AI model without running it locally?

Most devs use Claude Code in the terminal, but why? The desktop app feels cleaner and more organized, and from what I can tell it offers the same core features. Am I missing something? Is the CLI actually more powerful, or do developers just prefer terminals?

You're in a tech interview and they ask you: "Why should we hire you when Claude can write code?" What's your answer?

#BuildinginPublic Question for other builders shipping agentic products: When you let the AI create the first version of something (store, campaign, landing), do you: A) Show it immediately and let them edit B) Review it yourself first C) Add a “confidence / needs human check” step I’m testing A right now with Vendilia. Curious what you’ve seen work.
