Do not keep looking for beginner-friendly content, because for harder topics, there is none. Also, they often optimize for feeling smart rather than becoming smart. Try to build a habit of reading, watching, and absorbing detailed information and concepts. This will not only help you move away from being spoon-fed, but it will also make you better at abstract thinking. I believe abstract thinking will become crucial in the coming decade, as the world shifts toward solving more complex and ambiguous problems that are not easily visualized and comprehended. We are seeing an early sign of the drift with you-know-what. Extrapolating from here, I would say it is going to be increasingly vital for us to think beyond the obvious. The people who will navigate that well are not the ones who found the best beginner guide. They will be the ones who learned to sit with the hard stuff until it made sense.

Artist Riles spent 24 hours continuously pressing his handprints onto CDs in February 2026 to promote his album ‘Survival Mode’ a striking moment of endurance performance art. x.com/MarchUnofficia…

@tailwiinder The exact reason why I resumed my yt channel with updated thoughts: Hand written code in the age of AI. Started streaming recreational programming videos now: @manosriram?si=NHGPfynM_aBogMb-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@manosriram?si…

Feel like quitting everything, taking multiple steps back, and spending the next couple years typing every single letter of my code by myself. It’s so overstimulating and anxiety-inducing to sit and review multiple huge-diff changes every other hour. That’s all our “jobs” have distilled down to. I miss the calmness that programming used to bring to me. This shit is so chaotic right now. I should’ve started a YouTube channel just live-coding and hacking together random shit while my Twitter account was at its peak. Should’ve taken that risk. Perhaps I’d be living a very different life right now. It’s impossible to keep up with what’s going on in tech lately. This shit’s frying my brain by the minute. Please bring back 2021.

@bryan_johnson @pangramlabs Is this ai slop?

Hey @bryan_johnson, you haven't had the current lifestyle during your teen rightt? Do you think our past habits have affect on the actual lifespan or the lifespan we're trying to achieve?

@mrkaran_ Hey Karan, had to ask this: Why not rack servers? Your opinion on rack servers vs PCs for homelabs? ref: mrkaran.dev/posts/state-ho…

so much of the boring boilerplate in sw dev that used to take up a lot of mental bandwidth for no real reason is now just one prompt away.

I was searching for a tool which just shows my restic snapshots and has an option to restore selected files of a snapshot to a host's path. The options were complicated, so I wrote one myself. Repo: github.com/manosriram/res…

VibeCoded a Restic UI to view and restore snapshots to a path. I backup my homelab daily and monthly, but I didn't have a UI for restic to see what has been backed up and the functionality to restore.

@weswinder I do, it's really useful

never met a single person who uses perplexity

@BHolmesDev Warp is the worst, especially for developers. Terminal is very private to me, I would not allow any public interference on it and that's what exactly Warp does.

*sigh* they'll learn soon enough
