My mom grew up an only child to a single mom. Mom didn’t have a winter coat as a child bc they were very poor, had to wear multiple jackets, until she fell in love with a beautiful winter coat at a store. Gran saved for a long time to buy it, it was stolen at school in 2 weeks

I will never forget the Communists for what they did to my family - being able to buy more than 1 pair of shoes - a flat to raise kids in - running water with a water boiler - a Skoda and a Trabant to carry the family around in - lake resort vacations at Balaton on trade union membership Bastards :(

A SINGLE CLAUDE.md FILE JUST HIT #1 ON GITHUB TRENDING. 82,100 stars. 7.8k forks. zero dependencies. Bookmark this before you forget. And your Claude will start working differently. 4 principles. one file. Karpathy's LLM coding habits. distilled. > think before coding. > simplicity first. > surgical edits only. > goal-driven targets before starting. swap it into your CLAUDE.md today. your Claude Code becomes a different tool. Read it today. Link below. Claude → Skills → CLAUDE.md → Better Code → Better Systems → Money

@suchnerve Curious - why guaranteed? Is experiencing life while autistic inherently traumatic, or is it that they're basically a neon target for predators?

Also because childhood trauma is all but guaranteed if you’re autistic, autism symptoms end up being highly correlated with all those other things, hence the sensory issues and whatnot

“I don’t remember my childhood.” Lemme guess, you have allergies + you poop weird + you sleep weird + you feel dizzy when you stand up quickly + you’re weirdly sensitive to certain smells/sounds/tastes/textures + you struggle to do stuff you WANT to do + you’re often sad/nervous?

Paying off mortgages early is one of those things where I respect and acknowledge the math, but the math doesn't take into account the psychological benefits of not owing money to anybody and owning your house outright
The Money Cruncher, CPA@money_cruncher

My coworker has a 1.99% mortgage. That is something you should NEVER pay off early. Inflation is at least 3%/yr. Why would anyone pay that off aggressively? It makes absolutely 0 sense.

Someone in an adjacent team once told me that because leadership doesn't acknowledge pre-incident bugs that were fixed, some people resorted to storing these kind of information with them till the incident happened. Once the incident happened, they would jump in, solve the incident in record time, and then get credited with solving a S1/S2 incident. Next review cycle, they would either get promoted or get good ratings. Not saying this is ethical or good for the team/company, but the entire perf review process needs to change if companies don't want these kinds of things to happen.

Engineer prevents $80-90M recall. credited as a "good catch" lol CFO mentions the release on the earnings call six months later. The problem isn't that companies are ungrateful. It's that there's no mechanism to reward the person at the start of the value chain. Senior engineers: how do you make invisible impact visible before review season?

This 2-hour Stanford lecture breaks down how models like ChatGPT and Claude are actually built, clearer than what many people in top AI roles ever get exposed to. Save this and set aside two hours today. It might end up being the most valuable thing you learn all week.

🚨do you understand what two Anthropic engineers just explained in 16 minutes. Barry and Mahesh built Claude Skills from scratch. here's the part nobody is talking about: > Skills are just folders. > folders that teach Claude your job. > your workflow. your expertise. your domain. Claude on day 30 is a completely different tool than day one. watch this before you write another prompt. before you build another agent. before you touch another tool. 16 minutes. bookmark it. watch it today. and if you want to learn everything about Claude from scratch the full 4 hour guide is waiting below.

Your brain is running low on the chemical it needs to start a boring task. The "3 months of nothing then 24 hours of everything" pattern is your brain waiting for the only jolt strong enough to wake it up. That jolt is deadline panic. Your brain has a "get up and do it" chemical called dopamine. Non-ADHD brains make enough of it to push you through boring stuff: laundry, taxes, the work email you have been avoiding, that dentist appointment you keep rescheduling. ADHD brains make less. So the boring stuff just sits there. Your brain cannot get the ignition to turn. A researcher named Russell Barkley has been studying this since 1997. He found that ADHD brains sort the world into two buckets: "now" and "not now." A deadline three weeks away feels exactly as real as one in three months. Which is to say, it does not feel real at all. Until it is tomorrow. Another researcher, Dr. William Dodson, figured out something else. Most people are motivated by importance: this matters, so I will do it. ADHD brains do not work that way. They only turn on for five things: anything interesting, new, challenging, urgent, or something you care about deeply. Urgency is the one that saves the day. When the deadline is in your face, your body panics. It floods your bloodstream with adrenaline and cortisol, the same chemicals that fire when a car almost hits you. Those chemicals push your dopamine up to a normal level. Suddenly you can lock into the task and work for hours without even noticing the clock. Three months of delayed work gets done in a day. This is the binge. The reason this tweet hit 440K views in 12 hours: a 2024 Ohio State survey of 1,006 Americans found that 1 in 4 adults now suspect they have undiagnosed ADHD. Only 13% have told their doctor. The CDC says 15.5 million US adults (6%) have an actual diagnosis. And 61% of women with ADHD were not diagnosed until they were already adults. The catch: every binge is expensive. Your body pays in stress hormones. Doing this for years is linked to heart disease and a weaker immune system. Research on people who chronically procrastinate without any ADHD diagnosis shows similar brain signal patterns. The "I do this every month but I am not sure if I actually have ADHD" feeling is common enough that it has become its own research topic.
