as a staff software engineer, i'll say this clearly: even with the strongest models on the market and perfectly written guidelines, AI-generated code will still sneak in security vulnerabilities, bugs, and all kinds of surprises..

strong tooling like defensive static analysis and a solid test suite can help.. but the rule stands: always review every single character the AI writes..

mega laravel tip: if you have a class that gets resolved out of the ioc container, but you need the current authenticated user injected via constructor, just add this beautiful #[CurrentUser] attribute..

noticed x/twitter has an internal telemetry endpoint called jot (/jot/client_event.json).. it sends structured client logs and the server responds with 404..

my first reaction was, weird… 404? must be a bug.. asked chatgpt why, and the AI said: 404 keeps the response lightweight..

i said, 204 keeps it lightweight too? AI said that 404 also prevents caching (cache-control, last-modified, etc) and helps hide the endpoint.. telemetry that pretends to be an error..

would love someone from the X Engineering to confirm this.. 🙌🏻

going to launch a new & free app next week that monitors your social media presence across multiple platforms.. literally created the repository today, and just need a product name and domain.. literally coded in less than 6 hours.. ideas for names are welcome!
