I love forecasting (like this excellent thread on how a tough market may impact eng adjacent roles).

But even great perspective can kick up imposter syndrome or a loss of agency, like "Are less hands-on EMs totally screwed?"

Getting back to right action takes woo and wisdom.

Prediction: a lot less engineers will consider moving to engineering manager positions the next few years.

Going from engineer to EM was almost a no-brainer until now. Not much downside, but a lot of career upside (and some compensation upside).

Now it's a lot more career risk.

@KevinEspiritu Super courageous video. Bravo, man.

Wanted to mention "The Body Keeps the Score" in the chance of it offering some healing (as it has for me).

Wishing you the best for these next steps, Kevin! 💪

@RichOBray @itsnoahd Wild!

[Mark Simithraaratchy @marksimi]

@RichOBray @Dominus_Kelvin @warpdotdev Thanks for LMK! I'm specifically after Warp's editor-like features while using CC. There's no problem getting that while in Docker cont or any subshell.

Via their docs I can get the Warpify modal to pop up, but it won’t work. Will keep searching or file a fr/issue🤞

@RichOBray @Dominus_Kelvin @warpdotdev did you manage to get the Warpified terminal going when running claude code? every tutorial i've gone thru has been busto and leaves me the vanilla claude code treatment. I need my warpify..!

[Mark Simithraaratchy @marksimi]

@TheEthanDing curious if you managed to get the Warpified terminal going when running claude code? every tutorial i've gone thru has been busto and leaves me the vanilla claude code treatment

[Mark Simithraaratchy @marksimi]

@ramigh Did you figured out how to 'warpify' your warp terminal while using Claude Code?

Claude Code is great...but I miss the bells and whistles of the Warp terminal.

[Mark Simithraaratchy @marksimi]

@KevinEspiritu Quite like the packaging design. Congrats on the pending launch!

[Mark Simithraaratchy @marksimi]

@Bsunter Very cool, Brian. Never heard of FFMI until you'd mentioned. Always fun to look at projections.

As my trainer says: big boi stuff!

@minimaxir WTG, Max!

@sarahookr Thx for highlight this essay!

Amazing to see! Congrats to Noam and the OpenAI team.

[Noam Brown @polynoamial]

Today, I’m excited to share with you all the fruit of our effort at @OpenAI to create AI models capable of truly general reasoning: OpenAI's new o1 model series! (aka 🍓) Let me explain 🧵 1/

[Mark Simithraaratchy @marksimi]

@DrJimFan Highlights for building intuition on the impact of scaling up inference from @polynoamial:
- 10:58: "...if you add search to the poker bot, it's equivalent to scaling up the model by 100,000x"
- 13:35: "...it's augmenting your model capacity and amortizing the cost of training."

[Mark Simithraaratchy @marksimi]

@DrJimFan While the idea hasn't necessarily been popular, it's been discussed in the research community for a while now with huge impacts in gaming domains (with the LLM research path laid out). My fav resource is Noam Brown chatting with Imbue in Feb 2023: https://t.co/xet9pi6qVZ

I have been fortunate enough to invest in 13 unicorn founders over the last 10 years and 12 shared one core trait:

They excelled at video games in their early years.
