Three thoughts @ 44 as a year ends:

1. Contentment is easier if you reflect on how far you've come.

2. Meaning visits us when we repeat the good deeds of our parents with our own kids.

3. The inevitability of grief is a reminder to be present.

@jasonlyman @JBudDavis the look on the average bama fan's face when cal overtakes them in recruiting stats: priceless

claude code is enabling me to make a mobile app for the first time ever, and it reminds me of using flash back in the day -- without worrying about CSS, i can make software as beautiful as a video game

@aarondfrancis It’s important, even and especially in your worldview, to be acquainted with grief. You are, but no one necessarily knows it.

[Matt Wensing 🐙 @mattwensing]

@aarondfrancis You did the right thing of course.

I do think there’s a line between positivity and naivety. Sometimes people just need someone to say “yeah that sucks, I’m sorry” not “everything is awesome.”

I think you are the exception to annoyingly naive positivity.

@adamc0dez almost impossible and it's been this way since 1996

but if they don't have any of that (incl revenue), then they shouldn't be fundraising anyway

@ldo_dev All good! I founded a canvas-based product and onboarding was insanely hard. I came to your product thinking "oh this will help me make a decent logo really easily" and basically felt like I was being handed the pen to "draw your own damn logo" fwiw

Playing around with a Kent Beck-inspired prompt today:

Before implementation, look for opportunities to prefactor the code to make the implementation easier. "Make the change easy, then make the easy change."

@OrevaZSN strange, that movie isn't that kind of movie

The problem with calling Claude's output "Claude's" is that it is ours, collectively.

We are behind every bit of slop and marvel.

Knowing when to tell Claude Code to spend some time fixing the technical debt you can't even see, but know must exist because he's been ripping out features for a couple hours with zero mention of the house of cards architecture.

We are in a golden age where, if you are good at systems and understanding, AI increases your abilities by an order of magnitude. But if you are not good at it, you just spin your wheels and end up nowhere helpful

@neuralunlock 99.99% of them also have no VC's tweeting about them, unless you count cheering from the sidelines. Just the cold stare of a market that doesn't even know what they're building.
