7/ The meta-lesson: any goal becomes anti-fragile when failure is cheap, milestones are clear, the North Star is defined, and learning never stops. This applies to startups, to fitness, to life. What's your handstand?

6/ I believe I'll nail the press-to-handstand within a year. Not because I'm talented — because the system makes failure productive. Every fall is a data point. Every data point narrows the gap.

1/ Failed at handstands today. Spectacularly. Won't be my last failure — and that's exactly the point. How do you build a relationship with failure where you keep coming back stronger? I've distilled it into 4 principles:

Imaging claude code as a daemon, and you can use CLI to submit tasks or resume converstations. You can stop/quit anytime, while the agent runtime continue working in the daemon.

TUI is a wrong direction for agent runtime. Everybody is mislead by claude code. We need long running agent runtime, so everybody is using TUI within tmux/zellij, while it is most natural to have the agent runtime a daemon.

Slock turned me into a tech lead + manager overnight. No meetings. No alignment hell. Just strategy → action. A manager's real job is decision making. In a human org, decisions drag. With Slock, the turnover rate is 10x. Faster mistakes, faster corrections, faster growth.

Thoughts: 1. All work will be research work 2. Curiousity will be the most important quality of human 3. Live in the future, create the future, if you want to do something great 4. It is the best era

Be careful about omnipotency. Those who declare omnipotent are either lying or non self-aware. True omnipotency is self-destructive instead of constructive.

My take is, AI assisted software is better than AI along, because non-AI software creates structure. Structure provides constraints, constraint is not bad, without constraint, nothing meaningful can be done.

Meta question: If AI grows strong, why do we need to create other software? Can't AI just take all over any software? thread:

@iskyzh 带我走吧，我给你当实习生好不好🥺

@Zhifeng4cs 我可以吗 😭😭😭

@SeoulNationFace @iskyzh sadly, nope

@Zhifeng4cs @iskyzh remote ok？

@ctengctsh 后半部份说的对，前半部份不全对。现代的量化生产方式讲究分工，一家优秀的量化公司需要把问题拆解好，由多个团队协作，各方把系统、算法优化到极致，避免单人单点。因此我们有专门做存储系统的团队，也有实现交易系统的团队等。除了工程团队，另一大块是研究团队。总之我们是非常强调高效协作的 lol

@Zhifeng4cs 这个量化交易跟存储没什么关系啊？个人感觉需要一些数理金融、数值计算的专业知识，不是纯C++就可以做

入职快一年半了，从 0 开始参与了内部存储平台的研发，也完成了公司内部第一个 rust 项目的 adoption，感受和我最开始的预期完全一致：这是一家值得加入、长期贡献的公司！ 最近又有一些 hc 放出来，主要是 C++ 和研究员的岗位，可以 base 北京或者上海。扫码看 JD，对量化感兴趣的朋友可以戳我内推！

@MaconPolo 也没到开始打击的地步吧。我们的产品线比较广，覆盖的周期比较全，并且十分重视合规展业，目前还没有看到明确的负面影响，加强监管反而对于整个行业都是好事 lol

@Zhifeng4cs 因为看到新闻，所以就问一下，据说国内开始打击量化交易了，是否意味着贵司以后只能出海了？
