I didn’t know I was an artisanal builder that has been chiseling code by hand until AI. I should have charged more for that farmers market code I wrote by hand.

Video games are a waste a time. At least this is what people told me when I was growing up, but honestly video games are why I’m an engineer today I don’t have a CS degree but I’ve always been good with computers because of video games. 1/6

I’ve been playing around with Jev. Tried to play world of Warcraft with it. Here is what I learned Everything you need to know about Jev youtu.be/fgNf9nFXO_I

We need a graph for abandoned side projects since AI coding. When a new idea is just a prompt away to prototype I find myself chasing multiple ideas that I end up throwing away. Having diligence to find an idea to work on for the long term is getting really hard.

My feed these days 1. AI this and AI that 2. WOW forever 3. Omarchy 4. That one random thing I clicked on once be accident

000

Do you still need to read every line of AI code? here is how I'm reviewing code these days • leaf vs. trunk code concept • agentic validation • proof in every PR • independent agent reviews • feature gating I covered it in more detail on my latest video :) 1/2

Playing wow on my iPad via moonlight. Pretty nice haha

I feel like people really really like motion graphics 😂

When you see new information that challenges your existing views, the right thing to do is to change your mind. This is how I feel about people flip flopping on AI takes. 1/3

I’m starting to not care that much about new model releases. I don’t really have an urge to go and try all of them out right away. Not sure if something changed from my side or if I’m already pretty happy with where ai coding was already.

There’s nothing quite like working on a few things consistently over a long period of time. The hard part isn’t finding things to work on. It’s deciding what not to work on. 1/3

If it wasn’t for making content I don’t think I would spend as much time as I do digging into new and interesting things. In AI. “That would be a fun video to make” leads to so much learning that has genuinely helped my career. 1/2

I've been seeing a lot of fake looking demos online of people using Jev to play video games perfectly in real time. I'm hella suss'd by the demos so i'm trying to build one right now. So far its kind of shit tbh especially since I don't have raw game state from WOW. 1/3

For Jev the cost is one thing but the killer feature is speed!

000

First thing that came to mind for me when I heard Jev. lol

000

Jev is the new thing we need to look at now? Seems like a really fast and cheap switch board. I would guess it will probably lose out on long reasoning and complex tasks. Either way more things to dig into over the weekend :)

000

Are people finally tired of “thinking” in AI and just want results instantly :)? Maybe next year the big thing will be on speed of inference vs cost.

I wish I had an English accent sometimes lol

000

I’m planning to see how good local models are these days. What are something’s that would be impressive to try and build?

000

John Kim @premiumgoblin.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It’s really interesting to see how people are trying to solve the context / attention problem of using AI. How do I keep context in my head How do I prevent context switching too much How do I manage the context of my agents 1/2

Am I the only one not building demo games on Astra? I feel left out. Maybe I’ll make a rouge-like :)

000

When you are young you wished you had enough money to buy more games. When you are old you wish you have more time to play all the games you bought and never played.

000

I’ve been thinking lately skills were just bandaids to models not knowing how to do stuff. I can see it disappearing at some point.

000

Animations max or break consumer apps I've been working on a little side project for fun and these animations are justing bringing so much life to my app. 10 / 10 would recommend spending more cycles making your app more delightful and less AI sloppy.

If you are feeling behind in AI, you probably aren't I gathered some of my thoughts here and using some data let me prove it to you. Check out my latest video on it! youtu.be/Y80xnKNabSQ?si=BTw4dfUcbH_…

Which AI Agent is right for you? Jotted down some quick thoughts this morning on my newsletter :) getpushtoprod.substack.com/p/which-…

Having a singular focus on one goal is really powerful. I don't think I had the luxury of being able to even have one all defining goal since I was 28 or so when I was trying to become a software engineer. 1/6

Computer use is actually pretty amazing and I've been blown away at how good it is getting. I remember when it first came out it was slow, clunky and it like took over your mouse. It was basically a novel experience but not really usable in a deterministic way. 1/4

John Kim @premiumgoblin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I think people don’t realize that when you build software the last mile can often take as long as the previous work combine. 1/3

The true benchmark. I forget where I saved this from haha. But props to whoever made it haha

John Kim @premiumgoblin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The bane of my existence hahaha. Honestly been loving Astra. Planning to launch a fun side project soon!

One of the biggest difference between Codex and Claude is that Claude Loooooves adding comments. /** this is a variable to that will be used to hold the name of a fruit. It can be dynamically changed as it is hoisted to the top as a var **/ var fruit = "apple"

000

I'm making a little website for fun and honestly goals and queuing up prompts are the best features. 1/3

100

As Computer use gets better and better I think it’s going to be even harder to tell if something is AI generated For example if I told Codex to make me a blender model that output will be very realistic. 1/2

Learn to code. Coding’s dead. Use AI. You’ll never learn the fundamentals. Learn the fundamentals. Nobody writes assembly. Ship fast. Don’t ship slop. Specialize. Be full stack. Build side projects. Not another to-do app. Build something original. Don’t reinvent the wheel. 1/2
