How to land a remote job in 2026 (step by step):
Step 1: Pick one role not five
- "Full-stack dev" or "AI engineer" or "Growth marketer"
- Recruiters hire specialists, not "open to anything"
Step 2: Fix your profile in one weekend
- LinkedIn headline = role + result ("AI Engineer | Built agents used by 2K users")
- GitHub or portfolio with 3 live projects not 30 tutorials
- Resume: every line shows impact with a number
Step 3: Build proof, not certificates
- Ship 1 project that solves a real company's problem
- Record a 2-min Loom walking through it
- Post it on X and LinkedIn. Tag the company
Step 4: Go where remote jobs actually are
- We Work Remotely, Remote OK, Wellfound, Himalayas
- YC's Work at a Startup
- r/forhire, r/remotejs, r/RemoteJobs
- X search: "hiring remote" + your role
Step 5: Skip the careers page
- Find startups that raised money in the last 90 days
- Find the founder or hiring manager on X or LinkedIn
- DM under 80 words + your Loom link
Step 6: Apply in volume but personalized
- 10 tailored applications a day beats 100 copy-paste ones
- Track everything in one sheet: company, date, follow-up
Step 7: Follow up like a pro
- Day 3: short nudge
- Day 7: share something new you built
- Most offers go to people who followed up
Step 8: Prepare for async interviews
- Take-home tasks, Loom answers, written tests
- Clear writing is the #1 remote skill
Step 9: Negotiate in USD
- Use https://t.co/4Y9l58EvRG and Glassdoor for real numbers
- Ask for remote-friendly terms upfront: time zone, contractor vs full-time
Step 10: Don't stop at one offer
- Keep applying until the contract is signed
Remote jobs don't go to the most qualified.
They go to the most visible.

holy sh*t, someone turned Opus 5.5 into your own motion design studio with 637 animation techniques
every solo designer can steal the workflow
all organized into a guide and agent skill for Claude Code and Codex
the techniques to steal:
→ reveal products with animated masks
→ animate headlines with kinetic typography
→ guide viewers through your UI with clicks and highlights
→ turn metrics into moving charts and counters
→ explain agent systems with animated paths and diagrams
→ add depth with parallax, camera moves and 3D card flips
→ combine effects into product demos and launch videos
the useful part:
effect cards include timing, easing, parameters, examples and prompts
your agent gets specific references to build from
the workflow:
describe the scene → choose the technique → adapt the example → render → inspect
start with your next product launch:
one screenshot → one key interaction → a 10-second demo
save this, then read the full guide for Opus 5.5 Motion Engineering ↓
You no longer need After Effects if you use Claude Opus 5.5 correctly
It’s f*cking unreal…
Send PDF below to Opus 5.5, and thank me later.
Then save the article on the Opus 5.5 best practices and usage for motion design.
i can't comprehend why people run claude code on default settings
one settings change and every model gets its own job:
→ opus plans every task and advises when stuck
→ sonnet 5.5 writes the actual code
→ haiku handles every file search
→ a critic agent tries to break your diff before you merge
Opus thinks. The cheap models grind.
paste this into claude code 👇
Add this to ~/.claude/settings.json. Keep every hook, permission and plugin I already have. Then create the two agent files below and show me the diff.
```json
{
"model": "opusplan",
"advisorModel": "opus",
"effortLevel": "medium",
"modelSettings": {
"claude-opus-5-5": { "effortLevel": "high" },
"claude-sonnet-5-5": { "effortLevel": "medium" }
},
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL": "haiku"
}
}
```

Assume this is broken. Find how it fails. One line per issue, worst first.
