I may not be Mormon, but I'll continue to defend WHAT they believe, as there's an incredible amount of ignorance surrounding it. Mormons might be wrong, but probably not for the reasons YOU think lmao.

As an Exmormon who REALLY doesn't like the mormon church, people who think mormons aren't Christian are morons. You can't gatekeep Christianity. If you believe in christ, you're Christian.

It seems that some of you don't understand this, but shipping an app that has zero users 100x faster doesn't count as a 100x productivity improvement. 100 * 0 = 0

Obviously, I use agents to build software. And is say im getting yuge ~2x productivity improvements. 1/2

It's amazing how my news feed is chalk full of bug-free, ultra-secure, feature-rich, beautifully designed software products that are so cheap as to be practically free!!! Oh wait... no... it's still just agent news. 1/2

OpenAI is on 6.1. Claude is on 5.5. Google is bringing up the rear with 4. Why is everyone worried about benchmarks? What's so hard to understand about Sammy's lead?!?

The rate that your fellow devs adopted various ai tools seems quite indicative of initial skill level... And freedom of thought

Pewdiepie is SO BACK. Building and learning real stuff, even after all the success he's had. He's an inspiration to the youths. we need to protect him. I'm so proud he lets us continue to sponsor him.

If ai can create it end to end, you're not gonna be able to sell it That's almost definitionally true at this point, crazy some of you can't see that

You can only choose one: 1. read the code 2. read the tests If you said tests, we have a bedrock philosophical misunderstanding that might be harder to bridge than the static typing debate (of yore)

I really thought we would stop being so excited about the new shovels by now When is the iPhone 8 moment here?

It's 2026 and we still email around invoices as static PDFs (and yes, some people still print them out) Things can move fast and slow at the same time

HEY BRITISH AIRWAYS HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF QUERY PARAMS?!? Why does the email you sent have my reference number and name, and when I click the "check in" link it makes ME TYPE THEM AGAIN. ... I have a course on http over on boot dev if your programmers need to learn how to do this right btw

If I was Netflix I would be going to the biggest YouTubers, but only the ones that make 30-90 minute high budget production documentary style videos and getting them to release Netflix-only exclusives.

Most people are, truly, so bad at explaining things. If you're good at explaining things, that's an incredible professional asset that you shouldn't underestimate. Keep flexing and practicing it. If you suck at explaining things, get better at it.

I'm getting better at reading code, and worse at writing it from scratch... not actually sure if this is a problem or not

Went into a GameStop to pick up zelda for my nephew's birthday why are there so many single (obviously) 35 y/o men buying thirsty statues of one piece characters? I didn't see a single kid in there buying games

The real reason for Boot dev's existence was to build the platform that would train more new backend developers than anywhere else ...and then to make 10000% sure it didn't teach Java

Back in 2022 and 2023, I thought ai art was a kinda fun alternative to stock images. Now in 2026, it's soooo much worse. EVERYONE is sick of it. I'm constantly amazed at the unironic use of blatant AI slop art by so many companies out there. 1/2

The one thing I hope I can save my kids from is just overall apathy. Apathy in general, but particularly apathy about getting good at things Trying hard is cool. Failing is cooler than not trying.

The biggest misconception about Bootdev is that people take our courses to learn new things, improve their lives, and get into better careers We've always been very clear on this: it's actually about the digital confetti, loot boxes, and leaderboard stats

Traditional educators should be embarrassed that they have our kids for 7 hours a day and still need to send kids home with homework. Use the time more effectively. Cut the busywork. Oh, and pay educators more so that we get good ones and they're incentivized to care.
