"Every morning, I type '/today' into Claude Code and watch it generate my to-do list." Here's my new episode with @ttorres where she demos how she uses two Claude Code terminals and a note taking app (Obsidian) to run her entire life and business. We cover: ✅ Her 3-layer context system (global rules → project rules → reference files) ✅ Writing 9,000-word blog posts in 1.5 days with Claude Code as a thought partner ✅ How to set up a personal OS with Claude Code step by step Some quotes from Teresa: "Whenever you explain something to Claude, stop and ask—will I have to explain this again? Then capture it in a context file." "I wrote 9,000 words in 1.5 days. There's no way I would have done this myself." "You don't have to get here overnight. Every time you do a new task, just ask—how can Claude help with this?" 📌 Watch now: youtu.be/uBJdwRPO1QE



My team built a VPN at Google. Summary of my advice on VPNs: 1) Never ever use a free VPN. 2) Be wary of any influencer-marketed VPNs with big discounts. Up to you but I wouldn’t use Nord/Express/etc based in Lithuania/Cyprus/Panama. 3) Mullvad is the best consumer VPN and it’s not even close. (more below)

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.



The mind-bending power of placebo Studies with open-label placebos — sugar pills given without deception — suggest that the placebo effect is more psychologically complex than previously thought. nature.com/articles/s4159…
