How did @aaronfrancis.com feel about trying caviar for the first time last week in Copenhagen? This week on MT he tells @ianlandsman.com all about it, and friends, needless to say he wasn't a fan.

Carnival rides? Bounce houses? Anything that's not a permanent ride? Absolutely not. This week @ianlandsman.com & @aaronfrancis.com talk about why these rides are no good and Aaron reminisces about a very unfortunate incident involving Big Tex at the Texas State Fair 🫠

Will we all still be reading and writing every line of code in 10 years? 3 years? 6 months? @ianlandsman.com & @aaronfrancis.com talk through this dilemma and wonder if we're still better at writing code, does that matter - are the machines good enough?

This week on MT @aaronfrancis.com's got a new theory he's trying out on @ianlandsman.com: In the AI era, languages don't matter as much - but frameworks & ecosystems, especially batteries-included frameworks like @laravel.com, increasingly do 🔥

Does using AI mean you shouldn't care about your code anymore? No. This week @aaronfrancis.com talks to @coulb.com & @johnrudolphdrexler.com about his Live UK talk and why you should let go of writing code, but never stop caring about the code.

Getting hired isn't a game of chance, it's a game of skill. This week @ianlandsman.com's mad because he's read so many garbage resumes - and @aaronfrancis.com thinks he knows why. If you think getting a job is a game of chance, you're doing it wrong.

You can't create a new repo from the GitHub mobile app, which makes it annoying to start vibe coding a new idea - so let's use Shortcuts to make this as easy as possible.
