People who claim reading code no longer matters should be challenged to prove it with results — if they're really so far ahead by not reading the code, they should be visibly richer or more successful because of it.

11:18has the most level-headed takes. Uh he says, "Guys, stop trying to argue with the code doesn't matter posts and just ask them if they're so ahead of the game, why aren't they richer? Like he has multiple posts like this. Like if if if really we don't have to read the code anymore code anymore, like show me the receipts. Like are have you built a million-dollar business with this? Are

11:36you like actually making money from it? Are you actually more productive?" Um because it does seem like especially in the Twitter space, there's a lot of people just spinning wheels and and burning tokens with with not much to show for it. So >> I I feel like I I'm crazy sometimes when I see the amount of people who like what are you actually making and is anybody

12:26Uh, so no, I think this is uh I think it's dead on, Patrick. Yeah, I think No, sorry. That's where the nuance comes from is just multiple takes, right? Because not every engineer is going to have it perfectly right. That's why we're seeing all sides of it. >> Yeah. Yeah, totally. The next tweet was from Zack Corman. Zach's a good follow. Um, and Zach does cyber security stuff.

12:49I think he he's a real good follow. He says, "I find Theo's takes on this exhausting. No one knows your process, your role, or the way your brain works, but you. It reminds me of all the people who tell me to stop writing and reading or that that I'd stop writing and reading code as a manager without understanding why I did it. Man, this is such a thing where people become a

13:10manager. They they feel like, oh, now I have a team of agents to go off and do the work and then they lose sight on everything where again it's the same thing of like you kind of have a bigger role than ever to be able to control things. Um, so Zach is a a good follow again cyber security stuff if you um are interested in that. >> I think it also it also plays into uh
