Launch Slack and you take 10 steps back from your computer. Look at the silhouette of the app. You will question whether it was made for humans or not.

Much like the cycle where everyone wanted to do investment banking

I appreciate the hype around "AI replacing engineers", because: - it's a testament of our progress - it affords more time for the tech enthusiasts to focus on harder problems - and it repels alllll the people here for the money

The longer you spend in tech, the stronger the urge to buy a farm and never touch a computer again in your life.

I've found most doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, dentists to be lousy. Always 15min late to take you in, and yet constantly watching the clock. This is one counter to the idea of AI & robotics making the world worse. I used to favor humans for these sorts of engagements, but I may prefer robots for certain procedures. Only time will tell.

@AlexHormozi Irrelevat metric?

The people I’m the absolute best friends with I have like 4 pictures with.

“In protocol design, perfection has been reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” RFC 1925 rule 12

@tobi I think every thought or problem should get its own folder

Try needed a homepage. So i asked grok to summarize what people are saying on X about it, and gave it to claude to turn into a pitch. pages.tobi.lutke.com/try/ i'm having too much fun with ai.

@claudeai please stop doing a million things on load. do it later.

"Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better." — Edsger W. Dijkstra

many times, it's ornament. every once in a while, I do find that sophistication serves some purpose that the author/creator/builder intended.

sophistication != effectiveness

A positive side-effect of trying lots of things is that you learn why design guidelines exist. Then, you inevitably ask why different things in the world break certain rules, and if you go deep enough, you find that it’s likely differentiation or optimizing for an unpopular ideal.

@ThePrimeagen msi

i have no idea how to download something from cnet... this site has to be a malware site right? WHERE IS THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON?? JUST GIVE ME THE EXE

@elonmusk How safe?

True

@windows what? seriously?

One clear side effect of consuming external thoughts, sounds, and being around certain tribes is that you start to want what they want. You start signing up for things that are quite unnecessary.

Living an isolated life for a period of time and then reflecting on the experience will expose this.

Once you realize how music impacts your mental state, thinking, and mood, you become very cautious what you listen to. Same with tv, food, what tribes you associate with and listen to. "You are what you consume" is not obvious in the moment, but in hindsight, it's so glaringly true.
