Racecar (https://t.co/adP2uvtWkU) is a set of Claude skills to review python/django code + docs for architectural coherence and engineering hygiene.

It is inspired by @garrytan's gstack and has changed how I think about and build software.

The web was amazing prior to the reactification of everything 😄. Hotwire's Turbo framework is based on Chris Wanstrath's original Pjax concept (that powered GitHub in those early years). This kind of speed is still possible!

@ttunguz Can you share a howto run it locally?

[Vishal Apte @vishalapte]

There are two ways of constructing a software design: one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.

@ID_AA_Carmack Love it. I have many of these and in the same format.

@Delta thinks that the PNR and date of travel is not enough to find the ticket.

Is this attempted weaponisation of friction to avoid helping customers or genuine incompetence?

Master the fundamentals before using tools to go faster. 💯

Learn the hard way.

Anthony’s children wanted to use calculators in elementary school. “You need to learn it without the calculator, and then you can use the calculator.” Same with AI. The calculator gives you the answer, it doesn’t teach you math.

Master the fundamentals before using tools to go faster.

Be intentional and transformative is the right thought in this time of shifting sands.

The ‘law of unintended consequences’ seems to be operating stealthily in the prevailing tariff war unleashed by the U.S.

Two examples:

The EU may appear to have accepted the evolving global tariff regime, responding with its own strategic adjustments. Yet the friction has nudged Europe to rethink its security dependence, leading to higher defence spending in France and Germany. In the process, Germany has moderated its fiscal orthodoxy, which may well catalyse a resurgence in Europe’s major economies. The world could gain a new engine for growth.

In Canada, long hampered by notorious internal trade barriers between its provinces, steps are now being taken to dismantle them, bringing the country closer to a common market and enhancing economic resilience.

Both these ‘unintended consequences’ could become long-term positives for global growth.

Shouldn’t India too seize this moment to shape a virtuous consequence for itself? Just as the 1991 forex reserves crisis triggered liberalisation, can today’s global ‘Manthan’ over tariffs yield some ‘Amrit’ for us?

Two strong steps we can take today are:

1. Radically Improve Ease of Doing Business
—India must go beyond incremental reform and create a genuinely effective single-window clearance system for all investment proposals.
—While states control many investment regulations, we can begin with a coalition of willing states aligning with a national single-window platform.
—If we demonstrate speed, simplicity, and predictability, we can make India an irresistible destination for global capital in a world seeking trusted partners.

2. Unleash the Power of Tourism as a Forex Engine
—Tourism is one of the most underexploited sources of foreign exchange and employment.
—We need to dramatically accelerate visa processing, improve tourist facilitation, and build dedicated tourism corridors around existing hotspots, offering assured security, sanitation, and hygiene.
—These corridors can serve as models of excellence, encouraging other regions to emulate and raise national standards.

And a broader action agenda to build on these pillars:
Liquidity & Support for MSMEs; Infrastructure Investment acceleration; A Manufacturing Push, via enhancement and expansion of the scope of PLI schemes; Rationalise import duties so that duty on manufacturing inputs are lowered and assist in improving our competitiveness.

Let the unintended consequences we create be the most intentional and transformative ones of all.

We cannot fault others for putting their nations first. But we should be moved to make our own nation greater than ever.

How did it become ok to treat paid subscribers as involuntary targets for advertising, surveys, and other interactions?

Companies that take payment for ad-free services and then spam regardless do not fundamentally understand the customer experience.

Little Ways The World Works

If you find something that is true in more than one field, you’ve probably uncovered something particularly important. The more fields it shows up in, the more likely it is to be a fundamental driver of how the world works.

PLEASE HELP FIND MY SISTER. Our whole family is searching for my sister, Elisabeth Fowler. We haven’t heard from her in nearly six months and are deeply worried. She was last seen in Tucson, Arizona, and is believed to still be there.

I dig the work that @UltrahumanHQ is doing but there's no getting around that their app is awful.

Any app that will not work without access to the network makes me not want to use it.

Accenture had $1.2 billion in new bookings related to GenAI, and it has 69,000 people working in data and AI.

69,000 people who don't know anything about AI are helping the largest US companies with navigating the fast changing AI world.

One of the biggest grifts in the world.
