In light of what happened, I'm doubling down on skills like /improve.
A frontier model got pulled. If it happened once, it's gonna happen again. Fable today. 4.9 tomorrow or maybe gpt 6 one day.
So, treat intelligence as borrowed. Drain intelligence when it's available. Build a catalog of plans today. Then implement later with a cheaper, open source, or a model you control.
Build the backlog now.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
"what are your hobbies:

-BEHAVORIAL ANALYSIS
-MICRO EXPRESSION DECODING
-POST CONVERSATION AUTOPSY"
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
It’s mentally exhausting to code with LLMs
Before: make 1-2 decisions, spend hours implementing them, enter a state of zen in the process
Now: make 1-2 decisions every minute, check that no fundamental logic error was made, bark another slew of commands, repeat for hours
I like blockchain tech quite a bit because it extends open source to open source+state, a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms. I'm just sad and struggle to get over it coming packaged with so much braindead bs (get rich quick pumps/dumps/scams/spams/memes etc.). Ew
Retardmaxxing fixes everything.
Overthinking solved - You are retarded, you don't think
Anxiety solved - You are retarded, you are just doing shit
Confidence - You are retarded, you have no care for what people think
Be retarded.
Anthropic themselves found that vibecoding hinders SWEs ability to read, write, debug, and understand code.
not only that, but AI generated code doesn’t result in a statistically significant increase in speed
don’t let your managers scare you into increased productivity. show them this paper straight from Anthropic.
I've always wondered why there's so may 🇻🇳 Vietnamese indie hacker and startup success stories like @tdinh_me and so few from 🇹🇭 Thailand
It seems the Vietnamese have 2 important things the Thai don't:
- a very strong STEM education pipeline
- agressive founders that like to go global
- a relatively open market with space for startups to operate
Thai's education system is legendarily bad and its founder are scared of confrontation because its culture is scared of confrontation (always smile and be happy)
Great if you want tourists, terrible if you want succesful startup founders
Ironic because Thailand has been the #1 spot for nomads and indie hackers for a decade (along with Bali), the Thai could have easily gotten knowledge how to do it from all the foreigners there but they just really didn't at all?
Thailand has startups but they're mostly domestic or are just subsidiaries of large Thai conglomerates, a real failure also considering how many programs the Thai governments has created to promote startups for the last decade and the result has been, well, literally nothing!
I think it's because the Thai economy is ruled by a few rich families and private conglomerates (like chaebols) while in Vietnam these got wiped out by communism in the 1970s/1980s so they started from a clean slate with almost nobody being rich or powerful
Which gives more space for people to do startups
I love Thailand and it's one of my favorite countries and people but this is something to really consider: do you want to remain a country for tourists forever and keep lagging behind or become a place for startups, tech and innovation? Because you tried for the last 10 years and failed at it quite spectacularly
Focus is becoming the rarest skill on the planet. Talent, intelligence, marketing, prompting, vibe coding, and whatever else doesn't matter as much as being able to channel your attention for an extended period of time into one useful thing that you want to see in the world.
