Most of us use infrastructure every day without thinking about who designed it.
Bridges. Water systems. Buildings. Communities.
The next generation of civil + architectural engineers will help make them smarter, safer, and more sustainable.

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

The Atlantic just republished the op-ed where JD Vance called Donald Trump "cultural heroin" and warned his own voters they would wake up broken. He wrote it ten years ago today.

The piece was titled "Opioid of the Masses." Vance wrote it in July 2016, days after "Hillbilly Elegy" made him a celebrity, from inside Peter Thiel's venture capital firm.

He called Trump's promises "the needle in America's collective vein." He said Trump offered "an easy escape from the pain" to people who had none, and could not deliver a single thing he was selling. "He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they'll realize it."

Privately, around the same time, Vance told a friend Trump might be "America's Hitler."

Then ambition made an offer. Senate seat. Vice presidency. Heir apparent to the man he had diagnosed as a nationwide overdose.

The Atlantic's editor's note is quiet and lethal. Read it, they say, and judge for yourself how the assessment has held up. The ten-year-old essay is currently the most-read piece on their website.

Peter Wehner's companion piece ran alongside. Trump's approval sits at 30 percent in some polls. Prices climbing. MAGA base fracturing. Even Tucker Carlson publicly cracking. The comedown Vance forecasted has arrived on his own schedule.

Wehner quoted a line Vance once wrote in his own memoir: nothing compares to the fear that you're becoming the monster in your closet. Vance's monster is no longer in the closet. It walks the West Wing. It signs things. It waits, patiently, to inherit.

There is a specific kind of person who sees the con clearly, describes it in print, then goes to work for the conman because the paycheck clears. Vance is the purest specimen we have.

He was not fooled. He read the pathology, wrote it down in a national magazine, and when the offer came, walked in and picked up the syringe himself.

His memoir was about the people addiction was killing in Ohio. His op-ed was about the country becoming the same patient. His career since has been an active decision to keep the drug flowing, because he intends to be the next dealer.

Ten years. Same needle. New hands.
