If the Strait of Hormuz situation doesn't get resolved in the next 2 weeks, half of the flights in Asia will likely get cancelled in the next 2 months. Australia and some Southeast Asia countries will get hit the hardest. Even if Aussie Airlines are willing to pay the premium it will take them 40+ days to arb in the jet fuel cargoes from Europe and US vs 15-16 days from Singapore and Korea which they usually import from. There is just no other way you can magically conjure up the jet fuel supply when Asia refineries can't produce them.

🚨 Holy shit...A developer on GitHub just built a full development methodology for AI coding agents and it has 40.9K stars on GitHub. It's called Superpowers, and it completely changes how your AI agent writes code. Right now, most people fire up Claude Code or Codex and just… let it go. The agent guesses what you want, writes code before understanding the problem, skips tests, and produces spaghetti you have to babysit. Superpowers fixes all of that. Here's what happens when you install it: → Before writing a single line, the agent stops and brainstorms with you. It asks what you're actually trying to build, refines the spec through questions, and shows it to you in chunks short enough to read. → Once you approve the design, it creates an implementation plan so detailed that "an enthusiastic junior engineer with poor taste and no judgement" could follow it. → Then it launches subagent-driven development. Fresh subagents per task. Two-stage code review after each one (spec compliance, then code quality). The agent can run autonomously for hours without deviating from your plan. → It enforces true test-driven development. Write failing test → watch it fail → write minimal code → watch it pass → commit. It literally deletes code written before tests. → When tasks are done, it verifies everything, presents options (merge, PR, keep, discard), and cleans up. The philosophy is brutal: systematic over ad-hoc. Evidence over claims. Complexity reduction. Verify before declaring success. Works with Claude Code (plugin install), Codex, and OpenCode. This isn't a prompt template. It's an entire operating system for how AI agents should build software. 100% Opensource. MIT License.

Being in SF is like being in Wuhan right before the pandemic Something is happening, it's gonna hit everywhere but so few people know it

Another realization: so-called “secure” or “prestigious” careers as defined by our (very Asian 😅) parents: lawyer, banker, mgmt consultant, even compsci and med, are all on a path to commoditization for younger gen. I was pushed to be pre-med in high school, but ended up in compsci. only spent ~1yr coding professionally, while investing on the side nonstop. My best “time off” in my 20s was reading those lengthy earnings reports during 15 hr flights from SF to HK In the post-AI era, the only sustainable way to build a meaningful career is to work on ONLY things you’re deeply curious about and genuinely good at. Mediocrity is no longer a viable option, not just because it’s unfulfilling, but because roles you don’t care about won’t even exist long enough for you to maintain the productivity that market is expecting. They’ll be replaced by ai
