@rasbt @noahpunintended Pi is very hackable. It can manipulate itself on the fly. I like that the creator is a highly capable SWE that cares about code quality and maintainability. More here: https://t.co/SGA5nnm9bb

@rasbt @noahpunintended I wouldn't bother with cline. It's irrelevant when Pi/Opencode/droid exists

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days.

It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories.

I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming.

I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing.

Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.

@0xSero I tried coding with Gemma-4-31B (bf16 weights, pi harness) but it's "not quite there". It failed at flappy bird and created a calendar app that showed 10am..11am..12am lol . Is it worth going from 1x RTX PRO 6000 to 2x ? Can't justify splurging on 3 more (to run GLM5.2)

Excellence is the habit of execution + attention to detail + receptivity to criticism + iteration. This whole process is powered by spirit of the body and mind, a love for the craft and a disgust toward mediocrity.

The Simple Success Formula.

[Seb Kersten @Seb_Kersten]

Top 5 ways to build leverage today:

1. Master code/software (scales infinitely, zero marginal cost)

2. Build media/content/audience (permissionless reach to millions)

3. Accumulate & deploy capital (money works for you)

4. Develop specific, rare skills + accountability (attracts labor & capital)

5. Cultivate high agency (execution speed compounds everything)

Pick one, stack ruthlessly. The game rewards leverage, not just hours.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Living up to your potential is hard, but what's even harder is knowing you had potential and didn't live up to it.

You can't keep pushing off building the life you want. You have to do it now.

Because the longer you wait, the more likely you are to settle for something else.

And if you do, no amount of touching grass will make you feel better.

@bryan_johnson I used AG1 for ~6 months.

The initial “benefit” I felt was almost certainly placebo. Over time I developed bloating, and after a process of elimination with my other supplements, AG1 was clearly the cause.

Expensive, redundant, and not well tolerated for me.

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

I’d cancel your AG1 subscription. They just completed a clinical trial and the results show no clinical benefit. 

This has been obvious for years.  AG1 has no real product substance and is fundamentally an influencer heist.  

Two simple alternatives (75% and 56% less $), outperform AG1 in randomized clinical trials.

Two simple mono-ingredient alternatives that outperform AG1:

1. Chicory inulin 12 g daily ($20/mo)
2. Resistant starch 30 g daily for 12 weeks ($35/mo)

AG1 is not worth $79/mo.

AG1 study results (4-weeks, N=30):
+ No significant changes in blood biomarkers compared to placebo (CBC, CMP, lipids).
+ No statistically significant improvement in digestive quality-of-life scores (p = 0.058).
+ No significant metabolic or inflammatory biomarker benefits of any kind within the scope of what was measured in the trial.
+ Only small shifts in microbiome taxa but clinically irrelevant at this stage.
+ The intervention did not increase microbiome diversity compared to placebo. Alpha diversity was unchanged, and the taxa changes seen were only from pre- to post-analysis within each group. Between-group differences were limited, and the placebo actually showed similar or even potentially larger shifts. This means the observed changes fall within normal placebo-driven variability, not a real treatment effect. No global microbiota shifts were detected.

Chicory inulin 12 g in constipation patients
+ 12 g of chicory inulin daily for 4 weeks (compared to maltodextrin placebo)
+ Global microbiota shifts: enrichment in butyrate-producing Bifidobacterium and Anaerostipes, and depletion of the pro-inflammatory Bilophila.
+The effect was seen by comparing intervention vs placebo in a cross-over setting, a very rigorous type of clinical analysis in which each person serves as their own control, eliminating a lot of individual random noise.
+ The trial also met its primary objective by improving constipation symptoms in the targeted patient group.

Resistant starch daily 30g for 12 weeks in older adults
+ Significant increase in Bifidobacterium in both middle-aged and elderly participants, with an increase in the beneficial microbiome byproduct butyrate, and reductions in Proteobacteria (including inflammatory Escherichia–Shigella) in the elderly.
+ Resistant starch also significantly reduced blood glucose, and produced greater reductions in blood insulin and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in the elderly group.

Sarcasm alert.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

@p0lar_fawn Whether you realize it yet, achieving your dreams is a race against time. Time forces convergence, and premature convergence is what kills dreams.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to understand this when you’re young, before you know the wrath of time or the meaning of convergence.

This is the fastest way to see where your time actually goes.

To anyone reading: You are capable of becoming way more skilled than you think -- so don't get lazy, don't make excuses, don't waste your time looking for hacks to succeed without skill, just do the damn work, work smart (efficiency) and hard (volume), and reap the reward.

You have so much potential, even if you don't think so yourself. Just get the ball rolling on your skill-building, stick with it seriously and consistently for months -- you will begin to see yourself transform, and you will begin to understand that you have lots of potential.
