First, they think in code, so they actually know what’s going on underneath. And all abstractions are leaky. So when you have a computer programming for you—when you have Claude Code or equivalent programming for you—it’s going to make mistakes. - It gives me hope. - Not sure because, he is not a software developer, so cannot really fathom how he can commet those all things, but good points. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/software-engineering-is-dead-now Software Engineering is dead now Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Ah! This is bad. I didn’t realise it till wednesday. Things just hit like truck. Really sad for so many people, atleast they have 6 months, though the times are tricky, the hiring might be wired place. Its not the same, people have confusion on what actual software would mean in 1 year of time. I can hardly think what I will work with in the next month. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/we-used-to-be-gamers We used to be gamers Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This was a fun one. Really enjoyed the banter. I was also a novice gamer with my friends in teens. I used to play Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, Minecraft. Those were the times. - Now it feels like a dread and creep, almost like wastage of life, not time even. I know, I know I am not a productive-rambling person. But it just, I don’t like playing games anymore, there are other things for me to enjoy and sip my soul in. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/anthropic-is-lying-to-us-2026-02-28 Anthropic is lying to us Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - I don’t want to start another week of dunking on Anthropic but this doesn’t seem to end. - They think using their APIs is against rights, but scraping internet and training claude is not? Well they should get more of these now, let them taste their own medicine. - I am starting to get a hatred for them now. Can’t bear them. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/anthropic-is-a-cult Anthropic is a Cult Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - More and more things are getting verified it seems. Anthropic is just on a brag mode. It thinks it is a superior or a pure-blood kind of race. Really they are wired about how they perceive intelligence. - I am annoyed by them now. They have good models, but the vibes are not feeling good. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/opus-and-codex-models-2026-02-21 Opus and Codex Models Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Another banger! Sort of proving my experience too. - I was working with amp (it uses claude models in free tier with rate limits) for creating TUI for Clickup, I asked it a feature for opening the task when supplied with a link when opening the TUI. Like clickuptui --link clickuptask-link. It was not able to load or understand the things. It added the feature but was not working. I asked it to fix it, it was not working. It just removed the feature! Like what? It just removes the problem out of the way rather than untangling it. - Then I switched to codex and it solved the problem, slow yes but it did it. - Amazing how each of these types of LLMs are evolving. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/building-tuis-in-easier-now-2026-02-21 Building TUIs in easier now Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Banger! Banger of a post. It just blew my mind, when I asked it to test with tmux. - Yeah! I created 2 TUIs on that day. One is complete 90%) functional and here is the link. The other one is janky, because the UI is too. - I loved this article. It gave me a good advice to test tuis since it can understand text, tmux has options to capture text from sessions, which just open a wide variety of programmable automation and testing. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/and-to-others And to others.

I feel a greed and haste in earning profit and not humanity in the sight. He gave a example of curing diseases, but has he thought what is the other side of this mess? They are sort of up to something which is not quite clear. - The idea of “country of genuises in a datacenter“ is quite ambitious and good, but is the curing of disease the only task? Is it only to replace talented humans? Replace art with slop? I don’t like that thinking of automating the intelligence part. It just gives too much knowledge without our brains having the speed and capability to handle. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/much-more-time-coding much more time coding Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This I must say is true again. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/the-real-reason-anthropic-built-a-compiler-2026-02-21 The real reason Anthropic built a Compiler Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This week is dunking on Anthropic and I will do it with heart. I also thought it was “from scratch”. Well, there are quite a lot of astericks forgotten by them. - Prime is right on the take away being, we now have agents that can coordinate for a task which can be weeks long, but Anthropic is suggesting something that causes panic and existential threat. It sound good on their words but if you just think it becomes melodrama once you see the details. - Enough Anthropic dunking, we need some other lab to step in and be a worthy crown for coding models. Deepseek V4 around the corner? Can it beat Claude for coding?

Maybe that is a wired statement, but it lacks something humans have, yet has something that humans don’t. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/agentic-coding-has-a-problem Agentic Coding has a problem Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Yes, this is a problem I face, but I am not calling it a problem. I am not a fullstack guy yet, or atleast I don’t shift projects that radpidly. - I am using the same things I used to use, tmux/zellij and normal editor in my workflow. I love agent in the cli, its great, but now I realise it is a token hungry thing, you don’t see on the screen how much junk or slop it generates behind the scene, when suddenly your cursor prompt says, “Quota limit reached”. Yeah I have been there. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/creator-of-clawd-on-the-pragmatic-engineer-podcast Creator of Clawd on the Pragmatic Engineer Podcast Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This is wild, he was always a nerd, a curious person. He has built a ton of things before many of his things have gone viral right? Maybe its not true for him. - Its kind of crazy how he has just made so many fame out of building something really valuable, but then it feels almost like anyone could have made it, a problem first mind comes into picture. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/glm-5-is-a-great-model GLM 5 is a great model Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This looks a leap in a good direction.

That was just a open database. Humans manipulated to make it look like llms did it. What a shame to be a human. Why do they need to make it act like agents did it, if they can’t then simply say so, and even if they can’t its not of any use. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/theo-on-moltbook-situation-2026-02-07 Theo on Moltbook situation Sat, 07 Feb 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - He was clearly hyped about it.

But the next day we say the crash, the reveal of the project. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/which-programming-language-for-ai Which Programming language for AI Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - I was wondering the same, but I read something like LLMs are good at typed languages. Its not quite true though it seems. Rust and C++ should be shining here, if that was the case. - It actually depends on the ecosystem and the core principles of the language and not just the technical features of the language. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/inside-openai8217s-in-house-data-agent Inside OpenAI’s in-house data agent Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Instead of requiring analysts to manually explore dozens of tables or write intricate SQL, the agent lets them ask plain-English questions and get high-quality, correct data insights in minutes instead of days. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/we-need-to-talk-about-ralp-loops We need to talk about Ralp loops Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - It kind of is hillarious of how this works! I am not able to wrap my head around it. Like why and how - What kind of ... Writing it immediately hit me. I do the same thing that Ralph loop does with AMP code free tier. - The context size is limited, so I have to be wary of the limit, I keep the summary of the thread once the limit is reached and continue a new thread. Wow. Writing actually makes things visible and find the hidden patterns. Gold! - Watching this video now makes sense. It just a loop for agent to start from where it left off without bloating the context. Superb. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/its-time-to-change-your-database-from-supabase-to-convex Its time to change your database - from Supabase to Convex Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Oh! The convex database now makes me in awe. It never clicked and all of a sudden it rings bells and whistles. The schema changes the database, that is wild. - I can see myself using it for my favorite language. GO! - Its statically typed, so I can catch bugs before hitting them on the database. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/claude-cowork Claude Cowork Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Again, I was tempted to learn how different people perceive this tool. I never watched her videos. But this video came to me at random and I thought of watching it, it was fun. - It also showed a good starting point and a legit use cases for people to curse themselves a little less with such tools. - Developers can do it with writing scripts but laymen can’t oooohhh. This tool should just do that. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/the-year-i-stopped-writing-code The year I stopped writing code Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This is interesting and eye opening. It actually gave me the reason to be active while working with LLMs. - Reviewing is hard, most developers avoid it, that’s the part you need to be doing, in order to be a better one. That point I had ignored and it has came to haunt me in the year throughout. This new year though, will be different. I have decided to take LLM generated code with a grain of salt. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/ai-codes-better-than-me-now-what AI codes better than me, now what? Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This is really changing. It can write code, better than me. That’s when I started to use it as a partner that knows a lot of things but gets overwhelmed and like a junior does a lot of things. - Guiding it, reviewing it, and also understanding myself what it actually does is co critical. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/database-internalschapter-1 Database Internals:Chapter 1 Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - The difference of the OLAP and OLTP database is so nice. - Also the differnce of column based vs row based database type is clear from this.

I like it. It was a interesting and highly technical perspective. - His opinion of LLMs as Ghost is so liberating, as it actually threatens me from my identity if we compare it with humans. Ghost makes sense, even dismissive it as a slave sort of relation right? Not in a bad way but kind of inferior relation for LLMs with humans. - Agent that lives in the terminal is practical, for a developer or a human who understands what they are doing, they know what they want, its just too much menial for them to spend the energy on. I agree. - There is a lot of work to be done, developers, don’t strap your belts, hone your hammers, its going to be needed. - Also his post: - Could this have been more accurate! Right note to end the year. - Vibe coding last year, now this is the trend we are surfing on, this will last decades. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/how-i-parsed-billions-of-rows-for-every-user-in-2-seconds How I parsed billions of rows for every user in 2 seconds Sat, 03 Jan 2026 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Wow! I like these videos. I learnt a lot too. It was passive knowledge true. But I came to know that these things are at least possible. - Clickhouse as a database, the queries, we can use Material views which can be used as a CTE almost but on the fly, Endpoints to query them as a URL. WOW! - The optimisation was based on the clickhouse features only, not sure if it would have been possible without it. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/the-fundamentals-by-kelsey-hightower The Fundamentals by Kelsey Hightower Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Ahh!

Interview with Glauber Costa Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This was a great interview. I love the mentality. - If software built with community in the Linux community can sustain after almost 3 decades, then why can’t a embedded database like SQLite can? - Turso is Linux Community but for SQLite (minus the toxic leadership) - Pekka is a great, humble and smart leader to be leading the Turso, SQLite rewrite in Rust. - I want to contribute to SQLite, but it feels I don’t know enough everytime I touch it, also I started learning SQL for this. I have gone so far and now there is no way I am turning back. - I had one itch for geospatial exploration in SQLite for Mumbai city.

The decision to merge into Anthropic might be good as they are now paid to do their work. - Sustainability is solved, but what if they are no longer the owner of the product or the tool?

The math solving problems, which makes sense, but then evolution of human thinking, the built in parameters. - The point of having intrinsic motivation is not mentioned in the conversation which makes me wonder, why it was not?

When we sleep we kind of reset the context window, but update our parameters, we internalise the lessons, we can think and process in the background and connect stuff up. - I also found it surprising that reaching the state of the art models with 1B parameter would take a decade or so?

Also, there have been discussions around me where the takeover of AI by developers was around the corner. Not even that, I am not scared of that, but the part right now, where companies and top-level managers, or whatever they are called, are forcing developers to use LLMs. They say, Why use horse carts when we have flying jets. As if decades old tradition of writing software was wiped out in months. - Really, it feels sad to be living in this revolution. It’s exciting at some point, agreed.

Looks hard, but we have seen comebacks (Google was struggling with Bard, now it is toppling Open AI) links https://www.meetgor.com/links/will-youtube-ever-run-out-of-youtube-ids Will YouTube ever run out of YouTube Ids Sat, 29 Mar 2025 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - ? - Wow, Youtube well thought out, 64 letters, that is a gigantic number, practically it will never run out of ids.

I have only watched 1:30 hours of this, that is a 5-hour video, man! - Addiction is something that feels like giving you satisfaction, but it never will, that is a great way to put it. - Work Harder, not smarter! This is the new advice (instead of working smarter, not harder) Why? because, how would you know something is the optimal way to do it, before doing it?

We sometimes get used to the nature of the person after some time. - Use LLM but understand what are you doing exactly - Copilot was great bump in the productivity of developers when it launched but since now we are used to the generated code, it seems like we get bad completion or it’s bad. - A good analogy for LLM's ability to code, the more precise you want to do certain thing, the better the generation is, and the broader the scope of the task, it messes up. Like give me the next 2 lines of code in the current position, that is good, LLM is really good at that (not always). But if you give i want to build this project, in an x and y way with a and b technology, that is where it might get a little screwed (Devin not mentioned but I heard the screams) - AI SaaS clones are shit and not true things, it is more than code, relation, care the bond. If someone is earning money for the SaaS clone they build with AI, then they might be building a silly problem for a silly user. - The point of juniors is that in the future they will pay off the investment they made.

LLMs are chained and this will help build better workflows, rather help in experimentation and iteration. Having to work with graph related scripts, with graph designed platform is the best way to move ahead. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/thinkingplanning-vs-building Thinking/Planning vs Building Sat, 15 Mar 2025 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - : This was a cool video, I was always with hands-on approach when it comes to developing anything. However since the last year, having the company of my manager, I got into the habit of thinking and sketching out the plan for the implementation, maybe that is different, we don’t create a document, we just brainstorm on the idea. Making the logic clear.I also like the direct code implementation, to get a taste of what works and what is the actual problem to solve than to guess and later realise the problem was to pick stones than to carve the stone. - LLM Chat Apps are driving Theo insane: Hire Theo please, OpenAI, Claude, Meta. the design is really falwed, too unintutive and buggy at time.

I mean I get it, for learning purposes it is so cool, even I would like to try making one, but committing to it as a publicly available project as a real project and not a silly side project, seems a engagement bait or something.

I had a issue to solve, or rather refactor a logic a little, but testing those changes was getting too tiring. I saw this and one thing stuck to me, is about tests. Testing would be the perfect thing to avoid debugging, it will not solve bugs, but it will avoid their creation in the first place.

A network where the LLM will branch out to a specific network where it can use the weights more efficiently instead of the entire weights. Nice thinking, this feels so high-level view, how exciting or frustrating it would be to do that in a low-level and actually hands-on with the actual model. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/the-primeagen-and-teej-devries-with-mitchel-hshimoto-creator-of-terraaform-vagrant-ghostty-terminal-etc The PrimeAgen and Teej Devries with Mitchel Hshimoto (creator of Terraaform, Vagrant, Ghostty terminal, etc) Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - This was a great video, all nerds talking about Golang and Rust and Zig. - AI course, no one seems to be really against AI, its just not there yet, where one can just sit back and enjoy the view (or cry) - Deciding the programming language or tools first and then the project, is a bit wired, but I think it really depends on what type of mindset are we coming while building the project. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/ai-risjs-no-one-is-talking-about AI Risjs No one is Talking About Sat, 18 Jan 2025 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - Seeking the truth, the thing that AIs won’t ever have, the thing that makes human a human— Teej Devries 2025 - This was such a great short talk that covered a lot of questions and the right things to consider while adapting to LLMs. They are good, but still far from taking over, why on earth people want LLMs to take over int he first place? - The worst thing you can do for your career is to quit now: Yes, that’s the worst part But the best thing you can do is to just give your best, not even the best, be a little curious, have the grit to seek the truth, (troll devin sometimes) And expect it to work out, if that doesn’t, then the last choice would be to quit eventually, but not without a fight, not just yet. links https://www.meetgor.com/links/its-time-for-a-change-for-the-primeagen It’s time for a change for The Primeagen Sat, 04 Jan 2025 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - He quit Netflix and now feels a bit of change in his routine.

They use VMs which Kubernetes is not ideal for as it is designed for orchestrating containers, Nomad has a quirk of assigning a minimal number of VMs/machines for the users, which is not secure enough for Fly.io, so reasonable enough that it is worth for them to write and Orchestrator from scratch (well not entirely from scratch) links https://www.meetgor.com/links/why-would-anyone-use-functional-programming Why would anyone use Functional programming Sat, 30 Nov 2024 00:00:00 UTC ## Commentary - : The Coding GopherFunctional programming languages are designed to think about the what and not the how.
