🤦♀️ Jensen made a rookie mistake. He had a board.
In 2014, my board kicked me out for saying no to spies.
In 2026, Jensen’s board kicked him out for saying yes to one.
So the board gets you either way.
Founders: Don’t have a board.
Be the board 😏
Usage limits are up, effective today we're:
1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans
2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
Your brain releases dopamine before you get the reward, not after.
Studies on reward prediction error show this clearly. The brain computes the difference between what you expected and what you got, then adjusts your motivation accordingly. The more certain you are that effort leads to an outcome, the more dopamine you release during the effort itself.
This is why assigning a finite number to your goal changes everything at a biological level. You convert an unpredictable reward schedule into a predictable countdown. Your prefrontal cortex now has a map. The dopamine system responds to that clarity by releasing more dopamine with each step forward, including the painful ones.
The default loop most people run: rejection → uncertainty about whether this will ever work → cortisol elevation → avoidance behavior → quit.
The rewired loop: rejection → “93 left” → progress signal → dopamine release → increased drive toward next attempt.
The people who sustain effort through rejection have attached the reward signal to the process of attempting rather than the outcome of any single attempt. When you expect the process itself to be rewarding, each step generates its own neurochemical reinforcement. The effort becomes self-sustaining.
This works because it gives your brain something it desperately wants: a denominator. Uncertainty kills motivation at the level of neurochemistry. Certainty of eventual reward, even through discomfort, sustains it.
People who brute force their way through everything are genuinely terrifying. no strategy, no overthinking, just relentless reps. and they win almost every time. Consistency >>
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.
