@MilksandMatcha Working on a fantasy basketball sim game and would love some help on it using codex pro plan

@MilksandMatcha @dabit3 @cerebras Haven't used windsurf before but would love to try it, have a few ideas and would love a test drive

Power through the uncertainty. There's success on the other side.

"Let me explain, so..."
I'll stop you right there and swipe/scroll away and maybe just chuck my phone into the fiery depths of hell first.

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

I am seeing this on every file of my Cursor IDE, how do I get rid of it?

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

@Dayhaysoos @Cloudflare probably in the same boat but I am also really making the thing for me too. So if im impressed, I would hope users/friends/anyone would be too. Just keep pushing!

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

@YahooFantasy can you take maxey off the cant cut list so I can drop him?

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

No more Maxey and that means ultimate stream team moves to get me outta this 2nd round playoff matchup. Will keep on building https://t.co/9T9nwJlWKO to feel better...-_-

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

Anyone have the code for 2k simulator algo? How does one make a whole basketball game into a bunch of numbers? I guess we gotta start small

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

Wrote a lil about HoopSim: https://t.co/m3g4vAecZN

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

Its going to be a fantasy basketball simulator game. Always wanted something like this so I am going to try and make it. More to come soon.

[Viet Nguyen @ulukfuni]

This might be the best career advice on the internet

Most people I’ve talked to wish they left a stagnant job earlier (myself included)

… but the negative inertia and fear keeps you there

If this feels familiar, take this as a sign to make a realistic assessment going into 2026

The non-obvious signs that you should move on:

1. Learning plateau - you’re stuck in an endless loop of doing the same thing over again

2. Organizational misfit - the company fails to utilize your strengths and the things you’re world class at doing

3. Execution friction - you’re stuck in constant firefighting, politics or admin vs shipping work and impactful work

4. Personality limitations - you haven’t learned how to translate your skills into institutional value

5. Lack of inspiration - you’re not inspired by leadership nor do you see a path to a positive outcome for the company

6. You dread going to work

[Mustafa @oprydai]

most people don’t fail because they’re stupid.
they fail because they live in demo mode.

they read. they watch. they save tabs. they nod along.
nothing ever compiles. nothing ever ships.

the brain rewards recognition the same way it rewards achievement.
so people confuse understanding with progress.

real learning hurts.
real building breaks things.
real thinking forces you to admit you were wrong yesterday.

that’s why most people stay theoretical forever.
theory never humiliates you.

execution does.

and humiliation is the tuition fee for competence.

Today is a normal day but I wrote a thing that describes a thing that happened on this day two years ago. Link in thread.

[FIDEL CACHE FLOW @FidelCacheFlow]

Came to the realization that people are far too self involved to genuinely care about you so you might as well go out and fail as many times as you need to in order to achieve your goals because their is no external scoreboard, judgement or shame in failure it’s only you v you and has always been that way
