@boringmarketer Nope, add also the skill of copywriting and communication in general is becoming more valuable than ever in a world full of AI slop pretending to be good copy.
Good marketers are more valuable than ever!
Where are the founders quietly building a 50,000 subscriber newsletter before they launch or try to fundraise while everyone else is making the same launch video?
if you've done that, you're in rarified air.
Distribution is the moat.
With engineering becoming more commoditized, have investors rethought how they value audience and distribution as a competitive advantage?
is the Stanford CS degree or staff engineer from big tech as valuable as it was to VCs now vs a few years ago?
Personally, I'd be looking for people who can drive GROWTH. that would be my number one filter right now.
you're prompting claude code wrong
using it like glorified chatgpt with terminal access
this way, you’re missing the entire power system
claude code has custom prompt configurations
hidden in plain sight
here's how to do it correctly:
drop instructions in specific files
claude reads them before every response
transforms from assistant to autonomous builder
if every session you're:
→ getting lazy, incomplete outputs
→ debugging hallucinated code
→ watching claude work sequentially (very slow)
→ re-explaining project context
→ accepting "tests pass" instead of real solutions
i’ve compiled 12 advanced prompts:
- hyper-proactive mode (no lazy outputs)
- conservative mode (fewer risks)
- parallel execution (3x speed boost)
- reduce hallucinations (critical)
+8 more to fix these inconsistencies

Meanwhile, a skilled tradesperson with a van and a reputation can't keep up with demand.
The UK needs 937,000 new construction workers by 2032.
We're training a fraction of that.
🧵 UK construction will lose a quarter of its workforce in 10-15 years.
Meanwhile, tech just laid off 500,000 people.
Which industry actually has a crisis?
Let's look at the numbers. 👇
For the exceptional few, the degree pays off.
For everyone else?
Would you tell a school leaver to consider a trade before university?

A bricklayer with experience: £40k+ Self-employed: £60k+
The shortage is so severe, bricklayers are on the government's Immigration Salary List.
We're literally importing them because we can't train enough ourselves.
We tell young people to "follow their passion."
Great advice. But we don't give them the full picture to choose from.
Here's what the UK job market actually looks like right now 🧵
