one of the most valuable emotional skills is letting people project onto you: allowing others to have their own narrative about who you are & what you're doing, without feeling the need to change it ideally everyone would meet you with curiosity & empathy, of course, but that's

One of the reasons why specific things are scarce or expensive in the US (why are there so few elevators, why are after-school activities so costly) is because of highly sophisticated rent-seeking that seems weirdly socially acceptable in America.

@deedydas 195m lines touched in a week is wild velocity. if opus is a junior engineer, it's one who never sleeps, works across 5 shells, and already knows your entire codebase. $130m arr is just the beginning. the real upside is in org-level integration and memory.

How to build a thriving open source community by writing code like bacteria do 🦠. Bacterial code (genomes) are: - small (each line of code costs energy) - modular (organized into groups of swappable operons) - self-contained (easily "copy paste-able" via horizontal gene
