Three and a half years ago, I wrote up my personal mission statement and values.

I revisited them today and they still hold 100% true. I expect to say the same thing in 50 years.

@eriktorenberg Hack for this: work for people you’d want to make money for

[Asher King-Abramson @asherthoughts]

@eriktorenberg The real challenge is how you react when you get beat off the dribble and your teammates don’t rotate to help

@seanlinehan What tools do you recommend for engs to design?

I find Claude/Cursor/etc generally isn’t great out of the box without a lot of structure

Liked magic patterns when I tried it but was maybe 80% there

@JeremyGurewitz I’m never a fan of spray and pray, but if folks are going to do it, I would approach it like a sales sequence (prepopulate an application but manually tweak it before submitting)

Dark business pattern from google for sure 🤷‍♂️

[Asher King-Abramson @asherthoughts]

@ericlu Lunchtime tennis if WFH is also a great hack

[Asher King-Abramson @asherthoughts]

@cjav_dev @StainlessAPI Congrats!

@paulg More evidence for the power of teaching people to parent differently. It’s recursive because your kids will parent their kids differently, those kids parent their kids, etc.

@thedanigrant @OpenAI So awesome!!
