How AI Impacts Skill Formation

We are starting the day with this paper From Anthropic....again

The general idea is that when using vibe coding tools or AI system tools, we feel the momentum and that momentum usually doesn't translate directly to efficiency. That means we're actually wasting so many tokens and not generating anything efficient or solving a problem in proportion to the time and tokens wasted.

From SDLC to ADLC, what's the main difference?!

The 6 key shifts happening right now:

1\ Driver - From manual human execution → Agents autonomously handle execution across phases

2\ Planning - From locked scope upfront → Goals and PRDs evolve dynamically as agents learn

3\ Development Speed - From sequential handoffs Multiple sub-agents working in parallel across tasks

4\ Testing - From a dedicated post-design phase → Agents run tests continuously throughout coding

5\ Adaptability - From mid-cycle chaos → Agents re-plan and self-correct in real time

6\ Feedback Loop - From end-of-project retros → Agents monitor live performance and detect anomalies

What we are doing at the moment 😂

How they make you pay for max plans...

Honestly Claude has become the best and the worst Ai as well...
Best for performance and resoning Worst for its limitations...

[Overdue Progress]

Nice to see this products localized to our country and context too
Just testing it btw 😁

1 USD = 155 ETB.

No one here is paying me 155x my effort, so I stopped working with local clients like 1 and half year ago. (same for @Natyiu0). If you trust your skills and have solid projects (not just AI to do lists), go to YC startups, find early stage founders on LinkedIn or X, and DM them. Twitter Premium helps and its worth it.

If you’re good, you can land a $1k internship for 1–2 months. Go all in, and it can turn into a $3k–$4k full-time role. I’ve seen it happen. If you’re not there yet, build. 2–4 hours a day. One strong project every week for 4 weeks. Post on X (views don’t matter), then start DMing.

Keep building, make projects more complex over time. Just make side projects a habit. Rewire your brain.

Recently I was at Hyatt Regency and there were US GOV Diplomats that just landed in there, they cleared some places for them and we can easily Observe them.
Here are some fun facts i have seen from them:
• They all dress the same cloth to the point you can't even recognize the leader, they have badges for that. The Protocol is really visible!
• Not a SINGLE Person have an iPhone 17 of any kinds, Not even one!!! ... i am not even sure if they have iPhone 16
• they all carry the a brief case and they stand always in circle (FYI some military formation that is common)
• the respect they have for the Ushers is really amazing, really something that makes it Warm...

And you will see a Broke Dude having an iPhone 17 pro max , full of drama too... (the way they treat the ushers... DAMN)
They really teach you alot just by Observing...

Eid Mubarak to my Muslim peps!!!
Don't forget us in your ኩሬባ 😁😋

Plan to upskill your self, where the ai really not good at or staright bad at!

We have just Passed 50% of the Ethiopian calendar year, and 25% of the Gregorian Calendar year, and i am planning to do this in the time i have left in this year!

Personal Opinion but its literally the best time to upskill your self, as a data scientist.
People using Ai are becoming great at coding but Domain Expertise are becoming very rare, Like seriously RARE!!!!
Plan on learning the basics and start creating solutions from the core!!!

The way we solve problems are changing now!!!

@datawithsimon

A tiny change that makes your database feel like it hit the gym overnight, replace UUIDv4 with UUIDv7

Same uniqueness, but now your IDs actually respect time instead of chaos.

- Faster Inserts
- Lower index size
- Efficient cache
- Index fragmentation

You’re welcome 👀 you owe me T-bone stake for this advice 🙄

Just launched on Product Hunt 🔥

Would really appreciate your support.. drop an upvote if you can 🙏 .. It means a lot and helps more people discover what I’ve been building.

Thanks for always showing love 😊

Recently Anthropic Doubled the Usage limits for the past 2 weeks, and when it ends they literally make the Models consume 100x....

Now you can hit the limit for Claude Max account with just 3 prompts!

Like seriously, they make the ceiling so low for the sessions, that users are reporting very short usage for this Claude Max accounts....

Anthropic is really becoming shady at this point, like Quite seriously!

Here is the LinkedIn post for more info

The truth about token limits!
Tldr; Ai is not getting affordable, unless there becomes a breakthrough!

For those who are learning to become a data scientist, here is exactly what they do at each level.

Great Explanation
