Retweeting quality content

[trish @TrisH0x2A]

Rob Pike wrote a complete regular expression matcher in about 30 lines of C

it supports ^, ., *, and $ using only recursion and pointer arithmetic

it's still one of the best introductions to how regex engines actually work

Recommendations for getting around this please

[gabriel @g_br_l]

when I have to kill the long running session that has all the good info and a constructive back and forth because claude just starts getting context window dementia

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

@evanlapointe Seems totally normal to me? Thinking back to Shreyas' agreed target quality framework.

Pieter, could I request a refund for photoAI? The auto refund page isn't working... it tells me I'm not eligible for a refund because I have created more than one model and generated more than 20 images, and then it tells me right below that that I have created one model and generated zero images. I'm sure this is just a random bug, but need your help to resolve. Thanks so much

@evanlapointe Do u have recommendations for content or courses around selling to unsophisticated audiences?

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

Rational response, it's just that if the belief is important to us we should take the time and really self-evaluate over a semi-extended period of time, which gives enough time for the emotional association to die down slowly.

for arguing with other people well that's a hard one haha

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

@zeeg I point it to Paul graham's write simply. Helps. But Jesus that output.

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

@ArtemisConsort Also entropy or the "surprise" factor

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

@ArtemisConsort Ah yes topology. Had to think about it.

@mattpocockuk Hey random q: do u find it faster to let the ai plan for you then you review, or you propose a good architecture first then the ai grills? I find the second better but curious on ur thoughts, maybe i'm not using it right.

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

@evanlapointe I think this is a great example where understanding why something works lets you navigate it a lot better than simply recognizing what good looks like and trying to emulate it blindly (level 1 vs level 3 in your levels of thinking post).

@evanlapointe Make money, easier because you say whatever you need to say to sell the thing? No constraint on integrity?

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

@evanlapointe Ahh ok I misread your original tweet.

Right reason for *building products* = help the customer.

Product is easier when you genuinely care about the customer.

Promotion is harder because... you're more reluctant to overstate the benefits of the product?

[Davin Shaun @shaundavin13]

Right reason = hard because we care more, and we want it done right.

Another right reason = hard because we see what the customer can't (vision), and that necessarily means it's hard because we have to teach customers how to see the problem in our pov.

Wrong reason = hard because we tunnel vision and can't step outside ourselves, or because of ego.

Thoughts?
