Run this routinely on your personal knowledge repo "The intent of this routine is to help me learn more, think deeper, reveal my blindspots. Explore my vault and bring me some interesting random ideas of (1) what new knowledge I might find interesting, (2) what thread of thoughts is worth digging deeper and what's your take, (3) what pattern you have recognized through my vault."

LinkedIn bros rn lmao

@NotoriousSmols @elvissun yeah agreed

@elvissun @lialexlin you got no clue how many production work runs on Zapier, n8n and make lol not that its a good or smart thing

nice demo but i'm calling it now: this will end up dead like openai's agent builder x.com/claudeai/statu…

@elvissun hmm how is that trivial. Companies can now outsource the harness + sandbox to Anthropic and just focus on building system prompt / mcp / skill etc. Isn't that meaningful?

@lialexlin both solve trivial business problems

In 2013, Nassim Taleb gave a 53-min Stanford masterclass on why chaos makes some businesses stronger. His ideas: - The coffee cup that survives 4 million hits - Why helicopter engineers ride their own machines - The country where nobody knows the president 12 lessons on risk:

wisdom is the new intelligence. joe hudson (who coaches sam altman and research teams across openai, anthropic, deepmind, apple) has the best explanation why his logic is simple: every major technology shift in history changed which human skill mattered most 1. before the industrial revolution, physical strength was the edge. farming, building, hauling goods, fighting wars. the stronger you were, the more you could produce and the more you were worth 2. then machines took over the physical work. so the edge shifted to learned skills. you could learn a trade, work a factory line, operate equipment. the skill was knowing how to do the thing 3. then the information age hit and the edge moved again. raw intelligence. if you could process information, write code, analyze systems, solve complex problems, you had the advantage 4. now ai is outsourcing intelligence. you can get a free tool to write your emails, research your market, analyze your data, build your software so what's the edge now? wisdom. sounds abstract until you break it down: it's the quality of the decisions you make. > can you see patterns others miss? > can you decide well on where to direct the ai? > can you do the hard thing when everyone else avoids it? > can you spot which opportunity is real and which is hype before you waste 3 months on it? in other words, a form of taste and emotional intelligence hudson put it like this: "if I can get 70 people to run a company for me, they're all free and they're all AI agents, then the question is, what are the decisions I'm making to make that company successful? What advice am I taking? How am I listening advice? How do I create alignment between the five or six people?" ai handles the thinking, but only you can handle the deciding we're moving from knowledge workers to wisdom workers

@jack Eventually the competition among companies are no longer people vs people, it’s aggregated consciousness vs aggregated consciousness

@NainsiDwiv50980 isn’t this published a few months ago

Holy shit. The guy who BUILT Claude Code just shared his actual workflow. Boris Cherny runs 10-15 Claude sessions in parallel every single day. While you're prompting one AI, he has 5 in his terminal + 5-10 on the web all shipping code simultaneously. And the real weapon? His CLAUDE.md file. Every time Claude makes a mistake, the team adds a rule so it NEVER happens again. Boris literally said: "After every correction, end with: Update your CLAUDE.md so you don't make that mistake again." Claude writes rules for itself. The longer you use it, the smarter it gets on YOUR codebase. His other insane detail: he hasn't written a single line of SQL in 6+ months. Claude just pulls BigQuery data directly via CLI. Claude Code now accounts for 4% of ALL public GitHub commits. Engineers who haven't set this up yet are already behind. This CLAUDE.md template is the difference between using AI as a chatbot vs using it as a fleet of senior engineers. Drop it in any project. Free.

@akothari @NotionHQ I’ve been a paid user since 2021, but I was forced to upgrade my personal discounted pricing to a higher pricing tier with the AI stuffs. I don’t need the new features, so I’ll just leave.

Delusionally optimistic is how you make things happen

Interesting, is it possible to elaborate on typically what are your workflows that involve categories? For me when I work on things, I pull info from the connections and therefore it’s less dependent on category. Is it because you have categories for like eg tasks that need to be completed, or projects that need to be tracked, or like clients you need to reply?

@lialexlin You're welcome man! I personnally use Categories more than Subjects, but yeah I feel like these kinds of things must be adapted to what feels most natural and fluid to you

@noahvnct Yeah agreed. I also have this in my vault but just sometimes I felt like category is less important so wondering how other power user (like you!) think about it. Great work!

Categories allow the system to know what each notes are, in the sense than in your vault, you'll have a lot of notes for different purposes, I have notes that are projects docs, atomic notes, newsletters, tweets, daily notes, etc. So when you want to find a specific doc, you will naturally think "it was a meeting note" or "it's a newsletter" so you just use the quick switcher, open the newsletter category or meeting category, and see all of your notes that has said category. Both are important and will depend on your workflow and your natural way of thinking

IBM built a cloud of suits to make sure the CEO never talked to anyone actually doing the work. @elonmusk does the opposite. "Elon's method is extreme focus on substance. Extreme focus on getting to the truth. In any organization with multiple layers, there's compounding lies. Each layer wants to look good. Each layer puts a little spin on things. If one layer lies to the next layer above it, maybe that's okay. When that happens two or three times, the lies compound. If that happens six times, the lies really compound. If that happens 12 times, the CEO has no idea what's happening. That was IBM. By the time I got there as an intern, I calculated there were 12 layers of management between me and the CEO. They even had a term for it: the great cloud. A cloud of men in gray business suits who followed the CEO around and prevented him from ever talking to anybody who was actually doing the work. When he would come to visit, it was like a visit from the king. A completely impervious bubble. That's the polar opposite of the Elon approach." — @pmarca

We just released Claude Code channels, which allows you to control your Claude Code session through select MCPs, starting with Telegram and Discord. Use this to message Claude Code directly from your phone.
