Anthropic just dropped a 100% free course on Loop Engineering with Fable 5.

This is the clearest breakdown of Claude Code and agentic loops you'll find anywhere.

People are paying for tutorials that teach less than this one hour does.

Watch it today, then read the step by step guide on building loops below.

[Allen Braden @allen_explains]

This 2-hour Stanford lecture breaks down how models like ChatGPT and Claude are actually built, clearer than what many people in top AI roles ever get exposed to.

Save this and set aside two hours today. It might end up being the most valuable thing you learn all week.

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.

My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.

So, here goes.

BREAKING: Brex’s $5.15B Capital One Acquisition (Closed in ~40 Days)

Exclusive interview w/ CEO Pedro Franceschi

Full M&A breakdown.

We uncover:
- Why everyone got this deal wrong
- Why this is a growth merger, not an exit
- How startups will benefit now more than ever
- How pricing reflects true market valuations
- How Brex plans to outcompete JPMorgan, Amex, & legacy banks at scale inside one of the largest banks in America.

Key leverage points:
- Capital One (NYSE: $COF ) ~$130B+ institutional public size
- $6B annual marketing budget supporting distribution & brand reach
- $6B annual R&D budget supporting faster product development
- Lower cost of capital, enabling more aggressive growth investment
- Stronger trust & credibility profile with Fortune 500 & large enterprises

Brex's customer stats:
- 1 in 3 U.S. startups
- 300+ public companies
- Large customers: TikTok, Robinhood, Toast, DoorDash, Zoom, ServiceTitan, Cursor, Canva, & Anthropic
- Multiple leading AI labs & frontier tech companies

P.S. I think this may be the only full-length public, founder-level breakdown of a major M&A deal ever fresh after signing.

I have been lately thinking about learning FIGMA tool specifically to design more mobile application screens. Here is more context; I focus on developing flutter apps at work, just want to expand my skills in designing so that I could do both(dev and design). more...

[Mitul Savani @mitulsavani_]

Open to subscribbing to paid lessons / online courses / anything that helps.

I've been an Engineering Manager (switched from an engineer) for a year now... here are my top learnings:

[Jon Sherman @practicalgolf]

I've been playing golf for 25+ years.

I have made every mistake in the book.

I've also learned how to play at a level that puts me in the top 0.5%

Here is what I have learned:

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

Just a few notes to myself (a driven & ambitious person):

1) Kings are overrated and usually unhappy. It is much better to be kingmaker.

2) Eventually, everyone realizes that they don’t want to be Elon Musk or Steve Jobs. How quickly do you want to get there?

3) Legacy is overrated. So is impact.

4) Learn from everyone & everything. Don’t view people as better or worse than you, worthy or unworthy of teaching you. And if something doesn’t fully resonate, don’t reject it wholesale. Try extracting the useful bits and learn from those. Wisdom is everywhere, if you can spot it.

5) When you find someone inspiring, try to separate their content and their charisma. And if it’s the charisma that inspires, be very careful.

6) The chief indicator of authentic confidence isn’t bravado. It’s the person’s openness to discovering why they’re wrong.

7) Whatever industry or domain you are in is probably smaller than you imagine it is. People talk. Don’t burn bridges over the small stuff.

8) When in doubt about where to take a job, pick the place with the better people. Even if it ends up being the wrong bet, you will still be more fulfilled with your work.

9) In the tech industry, things often change. Platforms change, technologies change, office signs change, employers change, centers of gravity change. The one thing that remains constant is the people. Always optimize for the people.

10) If you choose to understand just one cognitive bias, let it be the Fundamental Attribution Error. If you choose to understand one more cognitive bias, let it be Confirmation Bias.

Last but not least, very important note:
No rule is valid for every single situation in life. Except this rule.
