When the depression wears off and you start to realize you're lowkey the goat

[signüll @signulll]

code is the first formal system humans have built that does things in the world rather than just describing it.

e.g. math describes, logic infers, but code actually acts. you write code that changes how you live, & how you live changes how you write code.

in essence, life mirrors code, & code mirrors life.

A train could whisk every single person in this conga line to Tahoe comfortably and safely. They could be staring out the window, having a glass of wine or reading a book. Instead, each person is in their own 3-ton pod stuck in the snow, running the motor, going nowhere.

AI just saved me ~4 hours of driving on my vacation

i was planning a trip to the Grand Canyon and noticed the driving route was incredibly inefficient

i spun up a few claude code agents and used agentic ai to find this faster route

it will take me just a few minutes to drive, compared to 4 hours

if anyone has contacts at the US government lmk - happy to relay this to them

you can steal react components from any website without source code

most people screenshot UIs and ask AI to recreate them. but with react fiber, you can extract the exact component 1:1 - same styling, props, design system, component structure

Maybe @BillAckman is secretly building a Tinder killer and was just testing the hypothesis

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that I found compelling.

I would ask: “May I meet you?” before engaging further in a conversation. I almost never got a No.

It inevitably enabled the opportunity for a further conversation. I met a lot of really interesting people this way.

I think the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness. You might give it a try.

And yes, I think it should also work for women seeking men as well as same sex interactions.

Just two cents from an older happily married guy concerned about our next generation’s happiness and population replacement rates.

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:

Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.

Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.
