Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
All you need to launch a real product:
1. Auth (signup, login, logout)
2. Database (store user actions)
3. Payments (get paid)
4. Security (protect your data)
5. Frontend (UI/UX)
6. Backend (APIs and logic)
7. Notifications (email, push)
8. Analytics (track usage)
This is the groundwork. Don’t skip it.
Software guys - now is the best time to get into Hardware Engineering.
I know I have been saying this quite a bit now, just look at the layoffs and the firings happening in recent times man, what more proof do you need?!?!
Here, have something to get yourself started - https://t.co/EkpxAp5oYo
Someone finally documented how to actually use Claude Code.
22K+ stars. claude-code-best-practice.
Direct from Boris Cherny and team:
→ Always use plan mode, give Claude a way to verify
→ Ask Claude to interview you using AskUserQuestion tool
→ Use Git Worktrees for parallel development
→ /loop - schedule recurring tasks for up to 3 days
→ Code Review - fresh context windows catch bugs the original agent missed
→ /btw - side chain conversations while Claude works
→ Make phase-wise gated plans with tests for each phase
→ Use cross-model (Claude Code + Codex) to review your plan
→ CLAUDE[.]md should target under 200 lines per file
→ Use commands for workflows instead of sub-agents
→ Have feature-specific sub-agents with skills instead of general QA or backend engineer
→ Vanilla Claude Code is better than complex workflows for smaller tasks
→ Take screenshots and share with Claude when stuck
→ Use MCP to let Claude see Chrome console logs
→ Ask Claude to run terminal as background task for better debugging
→ Use cross-model for QA - e.g. Codex for plan and implementation review
The community workflows included:
→ Cross-Model (Claude Code + Codex) Workflow
→ RPI (Research Plan Implement)
→ Ralph Wiggum Loop for autonomous tasks
→ Github Speckit (74K stars)
→ obra/superpowers (72K stars)
→ OpenSpec OPSX (28K stars)
The billion-dollar questions it addresses:
→ What should you put inside CLAUDE[.]md?
→ When should you use command vs agent vs skill?
→ Why does Claude ignore CLAUDE[.]md instructions?
→ Can we convert a codebase into specs and regenerate code from those specs alone?
The daily habits:
→ Update Claude Code daily
→ Start your day by reading the changelog
→ Follow r/ClaudeAI, r/ClaudeCode on Reddit

You need to:
• Learn Claude Code
• Build 1–2 workflows in Cowork
• Set up Perplexity Computer & Finance
• Optimize Cowork (plugins + skills)
• Set up OpenClaw
• Test Google AI tools (Nano Banana 2, NotebookLM, etc.)
• Try basic agentic tools (Manus)
• Use AI to create a business plan
• Build an AI second brain (Notion)
• Try Notion Agents
• Learn automation (MCPs, Zapier, n8n)
• Learn prompt engineering
• Read AI articles
• Explore robotics
right so here’s the plan
> If you’re from US, japan, china and canada
> Stay there
> if you are from any other country
> move
> If you are in software, learn about electronics, FPGA, VHDL, etc.
> If you are in hardware, learn how to use AI.
> learn robotics
> go all in on physical ai/edge ai
you have about 3 years to benefit maximum out of this.

"Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. So we must stretch ourselves to the very limits of human possibility. Anything less is a sin against both God and man." - Da Vinci
