Video Theo - t3․gg · 10w Are we in an AI Bubble? A candid take on whether AI is in a bubble, drawing parallels to the dot-com era. The author acknowledges AI is experiencing bubble-like dynamics but distinguishes between the speculative layer (like NFTs or domain flipping) and the underlying technology's real value (like the internet itself). The key uncertainty is where AI falls on that spectrum — a passing fad or transformative infrastructure. 67 16 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/stop-reading-every-line-of-code-vdiwytavm "Stop Reading Every Line of Code") Video Theo - t3․gg · 7w Stop Reading Every Line of Code A provocative argument that developers — even those writing critical code — are not generating enough AI-assisted code. The core thesis is that AI-generated code doesn't have to go into production to be valuable: it can be used as throwaway verification tooling, custom debuggers, test harnesses, and exploratory scripts. The author distinguishes between 'important code that ships' and 'slop code that verifies,' arguing that cheap code generation should dramatically expand the latter category. Engineers who insist every line must be hand-reviewed are missing the point — not because they should lower their standards for production code, but because they should be writing far more disposable code to stress-test and validate the code that matters. 66 12 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/stop-guilt-merging-prs-e7g0yqqqk "Stop Guilt Merging PRs") Video Theo - t3․gg · 9w Stop Guilt Merging PRs A short reflection on the common practice of 'guilt merging' pull requests — approving code that isn't quite right to avoid an uncomfortable conversation. The author argues developers care too much about the wrong things and encourages challenging these habits. 20 1 [See all Theo - t3․gg archives](/sources/t3dotgg/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/t3dotgg/best-of/2026/07#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/t3dotgg/best-of/2026/07","name":"Best Theo - t3․gg Posts — July 2026","description":"The most upvoted Theo - t3․gg posts from July 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/t3dotgg/best-of/2026/07#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/are-we-in-an-ai-bubble--byt0axyuf","name":"Are we in an AI Bubble?"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/stop-reading-every-line-of-code-vdiwytavm","name":"Stop Reading Every Line of Code"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/stop-guilt-merging-prs-e7g0yqqqk","name":"Stop Guilt Merging PRs"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Theo - t3․gg","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/t3dotgg"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/t3dotgg/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"July 2026"}]}]} ```
