Humans learn by watching. Robots should too.

Fun feature, you can share any file by generating a link and people can jump into your file and history. This is the YC analysis: tryshortcut.ai/share/160e0c6d…

Codes are limited at tryshortcut.ai Beyond doing your work, it also has near perfect feature parity on Excel. Directly edit, import, and export files. That means there is no reason to go back to Excel. It's like going back to VScode after Cursor.

A perspective on turning thirty from @sama : The days are long but the decades are short. Make it count, don't forget family, whether or not money can buy happiness, it can buy freedom, be around smart, interesting, ambitious people, learn voraciously.  Also, lack of money is very stressful. Be a doer, not a talker. Exercise.  Eat well.  Sleep. blog.samaltman.com/the-days-are-l…
