@readswithravi The Caesars Palace Coup. Came recommended, hard to put down. Books are genuinely the 🐐

What are you are currently reading?

Getting simple login race conditions on Claude Code is honestly might blowing. Akin to the greatest security company on earth leaving the main building front door open

@yacineMTB 🎯

It's remarkable how much of my work is completely automated w/ AI, and yet, I still am necessary. The amount of time I personally have to spend working just isn't going down. Instead, the leverage of my own time is going up. Every second I spend not working becomes more painful

@rezoundous I still occasionally do: Cmd+Option+L

So it has been about a year since. Is AI writing 100% of your code?

It’s unbelievable. Go back home to my area in County Down and you have 6/7 options of: - unbelievable coffee - avocado toast - the best pastries/traybakes you could imagine The book ‘the rational optimist’ hits the nail on the head here. Although there’s always doomsdayers, never been a better time to be living than right now

There’s a lot of discussion in these parts about all the things that are degrading (public safety, disorder, architecture, institutions, …), but it is remarkable how much better food has gotten over the course of my lifetime. I was recently traveling in the UK, and even in small towns, the restaurants were consistently great. (I particularly recommend Isla in Durham.) Ireland has similarly improved by leaps and bounds. The US is very good these days. Has there ever been a better time to eat?

@JJDevaney @conductor_build A David Ginola kind. Hard to state his best position, but when he’s in the team, you’re so much more confident

@MickC_1 @conductor_build @conductor_build is like Luka Modrić, bring the whole thing together.

Using all this with @conductor_build is like putting CR7 in with them

@justinskycak Easier said than done?! How much functionality can I really add to my weather app?! (Why is it always a weather app as boilerplate??!! 😂😂😂)

Choose projects that stack. You want your work this year to be the foundation for something 10x bigger next year.

@braelyn_ai Many such cases

“this is a 3-5 day effort” > completes in 4 minutes

@thogge Being on time to meetings

Simple tests of character: 1. Returning shopping cart 2. Returning weights to the rack 3. Patience when a baby cries on a flight 4. kindness to service workers 5. Saying thank you always 6. Holding door for others 7. Picking up litter What else?

@tech__unicorn - Gstack

If your friends are not talking about - sf - moat - terafab - distribution - hot vs mid AI models - clauding in a waymo - what Jensen actually meant - escaping the permanent underclass Time to get new friends.

@adisingh 🎯 🎯 Knowing what goes on under the hood whilst harnessing the speed of these code tools is such a differentiator. All comes back to rule #1 though: build something that adds customer value

The 24-29 year old engineer will soon become the most valuable asset in technology. Pre-AI principles + Post-AI speed is an undefeated combo

Train myself Train models ♻️ Both hallucinate when tired LFG #CodersWhoLift

@readswithravi Built from Scratch about the founding/culture at Home Depot. Great read!

What are you all currently reading?

@toddsaunders @garrytan It has been unbelievable!

Gstack by @garrytan has made me 10x faster and honestly better in Claude Code. We are massively underestimating how good this is for YC. He turned a config file into a brand strategy. And now it’s becoming the default way for all companies to set up their terminal.

Happy St Patrick’s Day y’all ☘️ 🇮🇪 Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh mo chairde!

@garrytan @conductor_build Gstack is phenomenal

I'm going to rile up the trolls with this right now but I am working on 3 different big projects simultaneously across 15 @conductor_build sessions all the time. In the last 7 days I'm averaging 17k lines of code per day, 35% tests, all thanks to gstack. (All mornings/nights/weekends on top of my real job at YC) I ran /retro (from gstack) on all three projects and this is what came back:

stop spending money on Claude Code. Chipotle's support bot is free:

Everything Happens For A Reason. Believe Nothing You Hear & Half Of What You See. Im A Raider. I’m Back. Run That Sh*t. 🦅🏴‍☠️

@RobLipsett CrossFit is the 🐐 man. Any time you think you're on top of it, you just get a WOD that takes you right back down to earth 😂 C'est la vie!

HYROX gets a lot of hate. Fair enough But one thing I like about it is the format Every race is the same Like a half marathon. A full marathon. A triathlon etc You can actually train for it You can improve your time You can measure progress CrossFit comps on the other hand Totally random lol Could be a 1RM snatch Could be 100 handstand push-ups Could be a 5km run Half the time it feels like the workout was pulled out of a hat
