you are busier than ever but jobs keep disappearing and people are getting laid off constantly
new jobs keep appearing but there’s huge damn for experts, it’s hard to train people and keep them up to date
for most people it’s hard to keep up and adapt - tech was already a career where you have to grow constantly, now to keep being relevant you have to do it at x10 the speed and the worst part of it is LLM reliance makes everything both harder and easier, you have to know to to use it without losing yourself
the reality of the current situation is much more nuanced and from what im seeing we have priced out a lot of software engineers out of their jobs - and i mean people who just want to do their jobs and go home, and i believe the same thing is happening in many other industries
we have leadership and management who barely understand the tech to push employees harder than ever, we have startups trying to make it before frontier labs release their product as a feature and we have so much money invested in many AI companies there’s no turning back, the tokens must flow
so saying that everyone is busy and there’s huge demand for computer experts is true, but there’s also a reality than many tech people or investors dont talk about
just got off the phone with a new engineer hire at a portco with a very wise insight
“AI has been replacing my job since I got a CS degree, yet I’m busier than ever - we can all just be more ambitious”
this is the same insight that the inimitable @JensenHuang has for us all
iPhone Duo, in the cloud! 📱
Soon your agents can test the Duo without needing Xcode or a Mac.
iPhone Duo coming soon to @expo EAS Simulators! And as well to expo-device-hub and serve-sim for local streaming.

Looks beautiful
While you debate if you should switch to native, I've implemented iOS Gallery zoom interaction, using React Native and Expo, and feels incredibly smooth.
Recreating this was living in my head over 4 years without paying, now I think it's a good time to show what’s possible.
It’s funny that we still have this React Native vs. native discussion from the early times of it. React Native doesn’t stop you from building a performant app, and going fully native doesn’t automatically give you performant apps either.
You can build performant, delightful things with React Native.

It’s never too late to admit you made a mistake.
It’s more powerful to admit a mistake, than to persist when everyone else knows it’s a mistake.
It’s a mistake either way, but only one way means you’re either oblivious or disingenuous.

"We switched from React Native to native, here is the startup comparison."
Perf looks to be the same?
"Yes"

Supply and demand 101
I'm selling my body.
On September 19th, I'm competing in my first HYROX race in Turkey.
You can advertise your startup on 10 of my muscles:
- Your website is listed on hyrox.marclou.com
- Your logo will be tattooed on my body on race day
- I'll share it on my YouTube and X accounts
Bidding starts at $1,000.
Each takeover doubles the price: $1,000 → $2,000 → $4,000.
If outbid, you’re refunded minus the Stripe fee.
Bidding closes on Thursday the 10th at midnight UTC (in 2 days), so I have enough time to print the winning tattoos.
→ Sponsor my body: hyrox.marclou.com

You incels are exhausting
In GTA V there’s a mission where you fight off the CIA, the NSA and a mercenary army at the same time with just a bit of support from Trevor with a sniper rifle
But yeah a Latina baddie winning a fight is the unrealistic bridge too far fuck off

Zod 4.5 reduces the memory footprint of schemas by roughly 9x via "method memoization"
It's a clever pattern I haven't seen elsewhere—all methods are now lazily bound via prototype getters, so methods are auto-bound but don't consume heap until accessed

Startup idea: notifications for when @github is up.

Look, are we the laughing stock of the world? Yes. Are we losing a war we should’ve never started? Yes. Is all our food poison now? Yes. Are all the jobs going away? Yes. But the important thing is a blue-haired college student I made up in my head feels bad about memes.
Like @lulumeservey says
"Everything is fake now. Fake content by fake influencers with fake engagement from fake followers, launching fake products with fake testimonials. A Potemkin village on a global scale, a glossy facade propped up by heaps and heaps of beige slop. Temu for content."
Being real on the internet is special!
Just so everyone knows...we got a quote for a “launch video” package from the company everyone uses.
$17K for the video. +$25K and they hand you 50 influencers who will push it, repost it, and flood the comments so the viewcount goes above 500k.
That’s the exact recipe behind almost every “viral” slop launch video.
Stark reminder there’s programming
and then there’s > programming
Depth-aware light injection in TypeGPU
I got a 448x448 monocular depth model down to ~8 ms on my M4 Pro across ~250 dispatches, which is fast enough to use in realtime :D
Since the inference is written directly in TypeGPU, I can just feed the depth buffer straight into the lighting pass. It never has to leave the GPU or go through any extra synchronization/interop step
Inference, lighting and draw all go through the same command encoder.
