Seems this is already here, as @mntruell points out in his article, LLM agents now write 100% of the code and the human coder focuses on decomposing problems and giving high-level feedback:

what will happen sometime within the next 20 years is that those AI models will begin to lose the disclaimers on health advice that refer you to a licensed practitioner.
Individuals will become the experts on their own health.
I think the next gen of engineers for software will be requirement engineers.
They'll define requirements as code and feed it to an LLM and not really care how the code that pass those requirements work.
All that will matter is that the code passes the requirements.

We are exploring a large-scale foam supply partnership in Nigeria and would love to connect with the Marketing Head of @moukalimited
Please DM or share the right contact.

We raised $60M for this moment: Introducing Slash Global USD (in partnership w/ @base).
It's the first banking platform that lets you open a USD account without an LLC, EIN, or the rampant account closures they call "account safety".
It took major legislative changes AND 3 years to pull this off.
Here's what makes it so different:
1. Banking without an LLC. Before Slash: You needed a LLC, $1K in fees, a virtual address, and a U.S. tax ID. With Slash you get a real U.S. account & routing number in ~10 minutes with your foreign documents.
2. No more hefty fees. PayPal charges a 3-4% conversion fee. We let you receive USD and crypto (USDC) with NO fees. Not enough? We pay you up to 4.5% cash rewards just for holding your money with us.
3. Account freezes. The big guys love flagging success as “fraud”. We're built for fast moving founders. We'll never wrongfully freeze your funds. I'm putting my money where my mouth is: If we do, I'll wire $10K to a charity of your choice.
------------------------------
In 2021, I dropped out of the number 1 school in America as a Venezuelan immigrant to build Slash. I pivoted the business 2x before getting our first customer.
Today:
- 3,000 businesses use @slashapp
- We bought the domain Slash . com for $1M
- $4B is spent on our credit cards every year
And we just raised $41M from the people who built fintech: @MenloVentures @NEA @ycombinator @goodwatercap
--------------------------------
To celebrate this launch, we're giving away our internal AI finance Agent free.
It watches your bank accounts 24/7. Flags double charges. Cancels forgotten subscriptions.
It saved us $39,000 last month.
You don’t need a Slash account. It works with any bank.
Retweet + comment “Slash” and I’ll send you a free access link.
Greg on the beat…
One thing I’ve always wanted is a problem browser: a catalogue of pressing problems worth solving.
sometimes you need an idea... thats why i built ideabrowser.com so people can grab some ideas to vibe code
I asked a custom Gem to refine its system prompt and it did the unexpected.
The Gem was to help people understand how to write a Financial Aid application and applied several mental models.
But Gemini definitely thought it was too smart for such precise instructions. Given the opportunity, it immediately stripped what it considered fluff.
"A Novice needs a checklist; an Expert needs a directive.", it states.
Interesting where prompt engineering is headed.
Would be cool for a robot to use this to understand the world around it from a single photo.
Maybe the decomposition is not needed, but could also be useful.

It’s pretty easy to get a $100k check from me for founders/startups. So far I have 11 angel investments
No, I’m not reading your deck (power point)
What I look for:
1) Website
2) Teams meeting
3) Your Story / Experience
4) Live images of your product
That’s it!

So cool, are you using ollama? Phi4? I've been working on similar concepts via open source tools that can aggregate / summarize discord, x, github, etc. Just published a blog post about it today, would love to have your thoughts! eliza.how/blog/taming_info
Time to take Gemini 2.5 for a spin.
I shouldn't even be telling everyone about this, but here goes.
Did you know that if you have a Google account, you have a free cloud-based dev environment at ide.cloud.google.com? And it has now Gemini Code Assist now enabled by default? Party on.

I love this. I'm going to listen to the full thing.
The co-founder of Loom sold his biz for ~$1B, made $50-70M personally, then walked away from an extra $60M
He has “no income right now” and is “looking for internships”...
@vhmth has a wild post-exit story. we talked about it on Moneywise:
-Turned down $60M in retention bonuses that would've vested over 4 years
-Said "the trees spoke to me" during a redwoods hike when deciding whether to stay. He wasn’t joking.
-He had a post go viral about his identity crisis after selling (1.5m views)
So I asked about his money situation now:
-Monthly spend: $25K (with $12K on NYC rent)
-Net worth allocation: 50% cash, 30% equities, 20% bonds/other
-Most expensive post-exit purchase: iPad
Now he’s studying physics 5-8 hours daily, hanging in Discord groups with 18-year-olds who think he's their peer… looking to intern as a mechanical engineer
(can you imagine the founder of a billion-dollar company being your intern?)
On the pod he explains why he’s betting his future on physical products instead of software and investing…
The full episode is live now. Check it out.

I am going to start speaking at events. I’ll do it for free for groups of CEOs, owners, founders, and entrepreneurs including those who aspire.
Recently I attended an event with a paid speaker, former founder CEO, exit. He wrote a book (so have I), not only learned nothing, I couldn’t believe the nodding heads in the audience. No real actionable takeaways. I will blow this away.
I’ve spoken in the past, but I realized I have a story - even validated here on X - that is real and helpful to everyone. There is no one formula, and people often get confused that there is. I ran it by a major CEO who asked me to speak at an event.
There is no website to book or anything like that yet. I’m just now going to be active about being available and see where it takes us.
Whatever you think of this approach, the case is that great education can now be had for free.
I’d encourage everyone who is ready to prepare to shoot a once-in-a-lifetime shot.
Havard university will now be free from this session. What it means is that Nigerians students can school in Harvard University for free if they get in. They will also pay your accommodation, living expenses, feeding etc.
As a Nigerian students who wants to live your dream, work hard. Very very hard.
Be exceptional in WAEC, SAT and build your portfolio.
In 2 weeks time, I will get some Harvard and Cornel students to be on a webinar or twitter space to discuss on how Nigerian students can get in.
