Reading biographies is the closest thing to buying more lives.

Corporate heard AI replaces developers.

Fired everyone. Deployed Claude Code.

It's been three weeks. Claude is still waiting for someone to tell it what to do.

@bryan_johnson I swing between "I need to wind down at 8pm" to "I need to work until 5am to finish this project"

When development starts to slow down, I find it's usually because my architecture sucks.

Instead of beating your head against the same wall, step back and find the complexity.

[Michael Pilgram @LifeAlgoMind]

Got Claude building a game engine from scratch on Vulkan. Once upon a time I'd have classified myself as an idiot for even attempting it, but now the boilerplate is handled I just need to be a good architect and understand the problems.

Can't flex the $300k SaaS but I reckon a Vulkan game engine from someone who's never written graphics code holds its own.

@voidmode Curious what engine is underneath

Every game is just a triangle simulator

@voidmode Not relevent but looking at the cockpit of this machine tells me that Elon definately has dreams of the Cybertruck driving on space highways

@mtshub Yeah sure but people should be more direct and less fake

[Michael Pilgram @LifeAlgoMind]

Building your brand can feel productive, but it often isn’t.

If you're posting instead of shipping, networking instead of closing deals, or tweaking your bio instead of your product, you’re just hiding from the real work.

Stop procrastinating and get to it.

[Michael Pilgram @LifeAlgoMind]

Nobody tells you the hardest part of building something on the side isn't the work.

It's holding two versions of yourself at once. The employee who shows up. The founder who's already somewhere else.

That tension doesn't go away. You just get used to carrying it.

[Michael Pilgram @LifeAlgoMind]

@elonmusk This does not make any logical sense.
