In 100 level, I was asleep in class till I woke up to see “Classwork” on the board.
I solved it, raised my hand, and suddenly, the whole class went silent, staring. That’s when I realized it was actually a trick question.
The lecturer checked my work, saw it was correct… but assumed I copied cause a Calculus textbook was beside me.
I told him to give me another one.
He did.
I solved it again, right there in front of him.
Fun part? 💀
The question was actually meant for 400-level Industrial Math students.
If you work on education, homeschool your kids, want to learn something new… check this out.
You can use AI to create the coolest and most engaging explainers in the world. Grab a coding agent, ask it for an explainer, deploy it, share the link.
So many ideas can be derived from this. Imagine a platform of vetted visualizations by experts in each field. Games or quizzes where you repair or reassemble the systems. A prompt input to extend them…

3 steps to becoming an actual software programmer
1. Build personal software
2. Build internal software (for a select group of people)
3. Build public-facing software
If you've only ever built personal software you're not qualified to build public-facing yet.
As you climb the rungs the stakes get higher, your constraints get tighter, and you need to QA harder.
So my advice for anyone who's never built an app is this:
Find a small group of testers (even 1 is great) that will actually use an app you built in their real lives.
The feedback you'll get will blow your mind. It'll show you how forgiving you are of your own crappy product. You'll begin to focus on process and quality.
It'll be frustrating, slow, and hard work.
That's programming.
hey, I just joined Anthropic
I've been lucky to help a bit on Claude Duet, with such talented people. It's a proactive agent... it comes to you with what needs you and checks before it acts
still lots to do, but we think you'll like it... join waitlist

No one is touching Ronaldo's 2008 and 2016. And I mean NO ONE.
2008 - We saw the most COMPLETE player ever created.
He wasn't just a footballer, he was a storm. He was 23 years old with the anger of a god in his body.
He headed like a striker, tackled like a defender, sprinted like an Olympic runner, shot from 40 yards like it was a penalty. Knuckleball free kicks that defied physics. Backheels, stepovers, headers that touched the sky.
42 goals as a winger in England, when England still broke your legs for fun. Champions League winner, Premier League winner, with tears in his eyes at the end. That year he didn't play football, he POSSESSED it. He could do everything. Literally everything. There will never be a more complete footballer than CR7 2008.
And then...
2016 - We saw the SCARIEST and most INEVITABLE man to ever touch a pitch.
He wasn't complete anymore. He was worse. He was something more terrifying.
He didn't need to dribble. He didn't need to dance. He just needed to exist. Because you KNEW he would score. The defenders knew. The goalkeeper knew. The fans in the 90th minute knew. It was written.
Quarter-final vs Wolfsburg - down 2-0, dead and buried, he scores a hat-trick and walks off like the undertaker.
Semi vs Atletico, Final vs Atletico. Portugal with one leg, dragging a whole country to a trophy with tears and a scream from the touchline.
2016 wasn't football, it was destiny wearing number 7. You couldn't stop him, you could only watch him happen to you.
2008 he showed you how football SHOULD be played.
2016 he showed you that football doesn't matter, only WILL matters.
Two different monsters. Same name. No one else comes close.
it is very important that you take the experience of your product very seriously, you can’t sell what’s not working.
design is really important, its more than just ui.
