Sorry, didn’t think this through. Do you think the best action is deleting the tweet?

Thanks Catalina ❤️ I just posted an uncensored account of my grad school story. It’s pinned on my page and was just liked by Jeff Dean. If you find it insightful, please retweet in your network.

I wrote this raw piece in 2022 but never published it. It's about my time in GT's MSCS program, working with advisors who shaped my trajectory in ways both generative and damaging, and what it cost me. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I have an MS in CS from Georgia Tech. I spent years in NLP research. Now I pick groceries part-time at Walmart. Long story.

I just had a conversation with my younger brother (26, college grad, Sudanese living in the UAE). He is struggling to find a job. I advised him to be a mechanic and ditch his degree in business.

I think what I need is decoupling my self-worth from performance perfection and building tolerance for uncertainty without seeking external confirmation.

Hmmm this is counterintuitive. I use claude for deep personal coaching. I understand that I cant trust it fully. Even when it provides critical feedback. But memory was my moat for chatgpt subscription until claude had it. What am I missing?
