Since I made https://t.co/EgIFQGIGpH people think I’m anti-react and anti js ecosystem. I’m just pro simplicity and pro the platform. Loving what @ryanflorence and @mjackson are pushing out at the moment, Remix is the first “js” framework I’ve been excited for in a long time

If you have 6 years of experience, but someone 2 years out of a bootcamp is shipping at 4x your speed, at the same code quality & without working crazy hours - you can probably coast for a year or 2 but you're gonna have a hard time as people continue to get even more efficient.

I wish there were some kind of universal way to measure software developer output for hiring - even if somewhat imperfect
Interviewing a lot recently and seeing candidates that look identical on paper but one of them can complete in one day, what takes the other 2 weeks.

I'm finding our dev hiring now converging on 2 kinds of archetypes:
- Early Career - Strong written/verbal communication. Organized. Fast Learner. Knows the basics (html, css, js) - can learn their skill gaps.
- Senior - Gritty problem solver - great at figuring out really hard problems and getting their hands dirty.
Any senior who can't solve hard/unsexy problems and/or whose main focus is on "making the code super clean and elegant" just doesn't really fit anywhere.

Bottom line: Every 10 basis points Stripe could reduce fees would unlock $140-200B in additional global commerce. The current pricing extracts maximum rent but leaves trillions in economic value on the table. Transaction costs really do matter at scale. 6/6

This is a classic welfare economics problem: Stripe's private optimization (maximize revenue) diverges from social optimization (maximize total economic activity). Payment processors sit at a unique chokepoint in the global economy. 5/6

Economic modeling suggests optimal fees around 1.8-2.1% would: ✅ Give Stripe healthy 12-18% margins ✅ Increase global transaction volumes 40-80% ✅ Improve total economic welfare by $800B-1.2T annually 4/6

Current 2.9% fees break down roughly as: ~1.0% operational costs (infrastructure, fraud, compliance) + ~1.9% economic rent for investors. That 1.9% "excess" is where the efficiency loss happens, based on payment elasticity research. 3/6

The core trade-off: For every basis point (0.01%) Stripe charges above operational costs, the global economy loses ~$14-20B in transaction volume. Each marginal dollar to Stripe equity holders reduces global economic activity by $4,000-6,000. 2/6

There is an inverse relationship between the success of companies whose business model is transaction costs (e.g. @stripe), and the "GDP of the internet".
Stripe were the good guys in papering over a legacy system, but as new systems become possible, @stripe must choose between their actual stated goal - "Maximising the GDP of the internet", and Maximising Good 'Ol Shareholder Value - these incentives now are now fundamentally misaligned.

People still asking me "How do you not think LLMs are reasoning?"
CSS is one example - Jhey publishes a lot of really cool CSS examples - often based on new CSS features that are documented but where there's not a lot of examples. So - things that a human can figure out by reasoning. Even the top, most recent LLMs just, don't work for this.

@bradleymeck @AdamRackis That's fair Bradley. Not supporting typescript is a tradeoff - although I don't think "think about all the ways a variable could be used" is an issue for a lot of teams. And the key disagreement I have is the assertion that you can build "software at scale" without a build step.

The level of arrogance and ignorance in these posts drives me crazy.
It is 100% possible to build “software at scale” with simple solutions (including no build), *if* you put in the effort to figure it out. I’m confident in this take because I’ve spent a lot of time figuring those things out, all while being told by people like Adam that it’s not possible.
I’m pretty sure “Works for splash pages” is meant to bait people like me for engagement. I wish it didn’t work, but it does.

We started an experiment a year ago to build our React Native apps with a hybrid approach (stacked webviews that feel native), with some screens built in React Native where necessary.
With the exception of chat UI - which is still hard to do with a webview because of keyboard UX - the screens we've built in html have been 1) Much easier to test (pull to refresh), 2) Much easier to implement simple state and navigation, 3) Much less prone to break, 4) Oddly more performant and less likely to drop frames - and we use Lottie to make things feel native.
It's taken us a lot of iterations, but I genuinely think we've stumbled on something game changing with this approach - the big downside is the offline experience isn't great. But in almost every other area this approach wins.

Most companies don’t want you doing important things with their API and circumventing their UI, for various competitive reasons
As agents become a thing, there will be more and more tension between these competing priorities, and my hunch is the consumer will probably lose.

We’ve done a lot more mobile dev in the last year and my biggest surprise has been that simply learning the core primitives doesn’t get you to “can build polished products out of the box” - I thought that’s what native dev had over the web, but it turns out it’s not true.

Using AI for non trivial long running work follows a similar graph to the Gartner hype cycle
But you have to actually use it for hours a day, for a sustained period to internalise that.
This might explain why CEOs of larger companies (including the AI cos themselves) are so hyperbolic - they’re not using it first hand for long enough to see it’s imperfections, and they’re drowning in the noise from all the people who are atop the peak of inflated expectations, and assuming they’re at the bottom of a hockey stick.

The key to building something *really* polished is the period after the "designs have been implemented" where the engineers, pms, designers do hundreds of use-tweak-test loops, see how it *feels*, and keep iterating til the end to end experience feels right.
You can tell by using their products that Google just doesn't do this - it's ticket driven development - if it can't be described and added as a ticket, then it won't be done.

The most pessimistic take on AI assisted software development is...
There's a fundamental ceiling on how well apps can be built if there is no feedback loop (the coder can see and interact with the results of the code).
A feedback loop requires reading and understanding the browser (and/or native apps).
This presents 2 problems
- The state of the art in browser interpretation even today, is still very low reliability.
- Most apps have an obfuscation layer (react/next etc) between what's in the codebase and what the browser renders, making this harder.
There is a real possibility that things improve, but don't reach to the point that even mid level developers can be removed.

@Shpigford Was very impressed with https://t.co/1LfLIcPpgO - they make it very easy to give them content - tweets etc - that other more general tools don't do.
