I used Fable5.1 and Grok Imagine to build this motion site. Go check it out: mythic-sandy.vercel.app/
What would you add or change?
Alex the Engineer retweeted
r/programming just banned all LLM-related posts for the month of April.
They even banned using AI for translations or summaries.
Is this a necessary move to save developer discourse or just gatekeeping the inevitable?
I want to hear from the devs who actually use these tools daily.
Alex the Engineer retweeted
Your AI agent can now generate and ship videos.
HeyGen CLI is now live.
Run one command and your agent handles it all:
script → avatar creation → video → delivery
All from the terminal. Just your agent and the CLI.
RT + Comment “CLI” and we’ll DM API credits (must follow)

If you could only use one open source model for the rest of 2026, which one are you picking?
I'm torn between Qwen3 and the new Gemma 4.
Drop your stack in the replies. 👇

AI did not make bad devs good.
It made good devs 5x faster and bad devs 5x more confident.
Big difference.

I cancelled my Claude subscription.
Gemma 4 is free, runs locally, and hits 80% ...
The gap is basically gone.
Why are you still paying? 💵💰
It’s over. Anthropic just banned OpenClaw.
Uncensored thoughts:
1. Massive mistake that will come back to bite them
2. Open source needs to win. If you have a local model running on your Mac mini, no corporation will ever be able to ban you
3. ChatGPT 5.4 is the best model. But it sucks compared to opus in OpenClaw. I will continue to pay for Anthropic api
4. I have no doubt the next OpenAI model will be optimized for Openclaw and be excellent
5. In 6 months the local models will be as good as opus 4.6 and all of this will be forgotten
6. It’s feels like from a consumer sentiment perspective things have flipped for OpenAI and Anthropic. They were the darlings when Opus 4.5 came out
7. Going to the Kanye concert right now please don’t spoil the stage or set list in the replies
8. The best openclaw set up is now Opus as the orchestrator, then much cheaper models as the execution layer. If you do this properly you won’t be paying much more than $200 a month. I’m using Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 for execution on my DGX Spark and Mac Studio

Vibe coding isn't dumbing down engineering.
It's just engineering with better tools.
Same people who laughed at no-code are now living in Cursor.

‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now
Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.
Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
@npmjs @GHSecurityLab there is an active supply chain attack on [email protected] which pulls in a malicious package published today - [email protected] - someone took over a maintainer account for Axios
Alex the Engineer retweeted
they said AI would replace programmers
it didn't
it replaced the programmers who refused to use AI
the ones who adapted are now doing the work of 5
Alex the Engineer retweeted
the bottleneck in 2026 isn't building
anyone can build
the real bottleneck is getting 100 people to care about what you built
that's the skill nobody is talking about

Everyone on tech Twitter is still fighting over Codex vs Opus …
Meanwhile I’m just sitting here using Codex, Opus and Gemini at the same time 😂
Fired up Blackbox CLI in multi-agent mode, typed one simple request to build an office dashboard, and it build my full AI team: CEO, Senior Coder, Head of Marketing, QA Tester + Creative Director.
They walked to their desks, started coding in parallel on their own, took a coffee break, and shipped a clean landing page together.
No model wars. No context switching. Just results.
(And yeah… the CEO did the least amount of work 😂)
Alex the Engineer retweeted
I’m not quitting my 9-5.
But I’m serious about building things that earn on the side.
Sharing what I learn about AI, SaaS, and growing an audience.
Follow if you're building something, too. 🤝

Introducing One.
The simplest way to connect and monitor AI agents to hundreds of apps.
And we’re open-sourcing the world’s largest integration database powering it: 47,000 agentic actions across 250+ apps.
RT + comment “One” for access & 1M free API requests/month.
Alex the Engineer retweeted
been coding for 10+ years.
now i'm here to help you:
→ ship AI projects faster
→ automate what slows you down
→ actually finish what you start
let's build something real.
