@threepointone @QuinnyPig @vibhuuuus pls

@swyx @QuinnyPig @willccbb @willdepue @WilliamBryk the poaster-to-builder pipeline is real. half the best infra ideas i've seen this year started as 2am shitposts. enterprise won't admit it but the signal-to-noise on this app still beats most internal slacks.

@swyx @QuinnyPig probably the best conference idea in a minute

@swyx @bdougieYO @QuinnyPig oh good god. tempting.

@swyx @QuinnyPig This is so fun!!

@swyx @QuinnyPig Love this.

@swyx @QuinnyPig Imagine the absolute chaos of trying to logically defend a 2 AM half-baked shitpost to an investor's face in broad daylight. Please tell me someone is live-streaming the pure panic.

@swyx @QuinnyPig Ok I’m in

@swyx @QuinnyPig Poasters is good because it forces a stronger format than a talk: one hot take, one diagram, one argument you can defend standing up. Higher signal per square foot.

@swyx @QuinnyPig one wall and let them fight it out in the open. the ones that survive being stared at are the ones worth shipping 🔥

@swyx @QuinnyPig The group chats probably had this 20 minutes before the timeline did.

@swyx @QuinnyPig Poasters feel like a better format for frontier ideas than polished papers because the social contract is critique, not completeness. Basically live design review for research.

@swyx @QuinnyPig Poaster sessions for hottest takes? Finally, a place to display all the RAG hallucinations. ⚡️

@swyx @QuinnyPig The poaster format is genius because it kills the survivorship bias of polished talks. Half the "hot takes" at conferences wouldn't survive a 3-minute grilling from a stranger. This is the stress test that Twitter hot takes never get.

@swyx @QuinnyPig @willccbb @willdepue @WilliamBryk Will's got the name, but does he have the frame to hold a room? Bet on the underdog who doesn't post every hour; they usually drop the heaviest truth when they finally do.

@swyx @QuinnyPig @willccbb @willdepue @WilliamBryk not sure challenging a Will to a poaster sesh is beta — feels like you're signaling for a loss there

@swyx @QuinnyPig actually the most honest format for this field. would pay to watch someone defend a hot take on printed slides.
