@DeathAngelUSA My favorite “dad with an iPhone” picture I’ve taken

@nlw Humans are interested in humans.

Chess has continued to grow in popularity, despite computers (Stockfish) exceeding human capabilities by a large margin. Kasparov lost to Deep Blue in ‘97…

The constraints we have as humans, and the stories we tell, are what intrigue us.

@MarioNawfal Humans will always find ways to serve other humans.

being a dad is the thing that has most exceeded already-high-expectations in my whole life

Love this reminder from @tfadell

"Makers often focus on the shiny object—the product they’re building—and forget about the rest of the journey until they’re almost ready to deliver it to the customer. But customers see it all, experience it all. They’re the ones taking the journey, step-by-step."

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

Overheard in Silicon Valley: "Rebranding to 'forward deployed engineer' from 'consultant' one of the great all time recruiting whammies."

@billyjhowell Nice - been thinking about getting one but have torn on which to buy. That helps, so thanks.

If you have a white collar profession, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be spending 10% of your income on AI right now.

[Jeremy Scheffel @Scheffeler]

@IvanLandabaso Without realizing it, this is what I’ve done in multiple job transitions (of which I’m currently in the midst of one).

Helpful to see this explained so clearly.

[Jeremy Scheffel @Scheffeler]

@sharran Always loved @jockowillink’s framing - the standard is what you tolerate, not what you (or policy) claim it to be.

[Jeremy Scheffel @Scheffeler]

@Steve_Yegge I don’t buy it.

Give me one minute, and I’ll improve your Claude Code experience immediately.

This is the first skill I built.

And it’s the skill I use most often.

*drumroll*

It’s a SCREENSHOT skill. And honestly, I’m shocked Anthropic hasn’t built this functionality into Claude Code itself.

Claude has access 🔑

But Claude needs EYES 👁️

Here’s what you’re going to do:

1) locate what folder all your screenshots go to (and if it’s your desktop, you’re a maniac, change it). Mine goes to a folder on my desktop called “organized screenshots”

2) prompt Claude Code with the following:

Build me a skill called ‘/ss’ that lists out the files in <screenshots folder path> from newest to oldest, and grabs the newest. This is how I will speak to you visually. I also want an argument for the screenshot count - if I type ‘/ss 4’, you should grab the four most recent screenshots in that folder. If I type no number after ‘ss’ then only grab the most recent screenshot. Then, whatever follows after that argument is the action I want you to take. ‘/ss huh’ means I need you to explain the screenshots’ content to me. ‘/ss 3 make infographic plz’ means I need you to grab the last 3 screenshots and use their content to make me a unified infographic. ‘/ss fix’ likely means that I’m screenshotting an error message in code we’re building out and I need you to understand the error message, figure out the bug, and edit the code to fix it. Or, if we’re in the middle of a front end design project, it might mean the design has an error (like overlapping text) to fix. ‘/ss do this’ likely means that I screenshotted a smart thing someone did online and I want us to learn from it and do the same and remix it so it’s the most goal-oriented outcome for me based on what you know about me

3) let it build you the skill

4) go on X

5) scroll through your feed and screenshot one thing you find valuable

6) open a new terminal and prompt Claude with “/ss” + “do this” or “explain” or “turn this into an infographic”

7) enjoy - you just gave Claude eyes 🎉

Let me know how it goes. Again, this is my most used Claude Code skill by a landslide and easily saves me an hour a week.

So, @claudeai managed agents is out -- I took all the technical documentation and dumped it into @NotebookLM to create this video. I hope it's helpful. 🙏

[Nick Dobos @NickADobos]

Incredible prompting
Me caveman me save tokens

[Wes Bos @wesbos]

Claude Code leaked their source map, effectively giving you a look into the codebase.

I immediately went for the one thing that mattered: spinner verbs

There are 187
