- @theo Announced switching the majority of his dev work to Linux.
@theo Reported that the T3 Code mobile app is progressing faster than expected, enabling hours of prompting from a phone.
The hottest dev debate of the day: whether engineers should keep auditing code they didn't write. Theo (t3.gg) challenged followers directly — "How much better do the models have to get before you'll stop reading the code?" — drawing comparisons to developers who would have kept reading assembly after C went mainstream. He's planning a video that he says will "piss both sides off." Separately, Theo announced he's moved the majority of his dev work to Linux and reported that his T3 Code mobile app is "getting way too good way faster than I expected," letting him prompt for hours without touching a laptop.
