Thanks to @niko.antuerp.com for chatting with me! @skylight.social is still young; there's a lot we need to build to make it a place where creators can truly find and grow their audience 🙌🏽 But I'm incredibly thankful to have the chance to build it, and to have so many of you along for the ride 🥰

Honestly, it's pretty genius how Stripe has created markdown versions of their docs and an "Open in ChatGPT" link to make working with AI easier You can give your coding agent a "Read docs.stripe.com/connect/auth... prompt and it will can slurp up the Stripe docs and use that as context for tasks

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

If you build something with #AI and say "WOW... That was easy, software developers will be replaced by AI in no time" maybe you should try to reach higher. Anyone saying that AI will replace engineers in X years has no idea what the quality standard will be for software in X years.
