Great minds think alike. Especially if both use Claude.

Claude made me laugh today. CLAUDE: Now add a short README in the deploy directory to tie it together. ME: It's funny you used the expression "to tie it together." I just rewatched The Big Lebowski and it resonated perfectly. CLAUDE: "That deploy README really tied the repo together, did it not?"

I've been thinking recently that this whole story with autonomous agents writing code and posts, opening PRs, etc. reminds me of something. Now I remembered: a great sci-fi thriller called Daemon by Daniel Suarez! Have you read it? If not -- highly recommended! a.co/d/0bCiN7wR

This is from the _book_ "Forrest Gump" by Winston Groom, which I finished recently. The book is written in 1986, and the events described in this scene are happening in the 1970s.

Excerpt from the book "Forrest Gump" where the newspaper lady lists all the current problems of those days (in the 1970s), that look very similar to what is being discussed today.

"angertainment" is a new word I learned from @kelseyhightower.com on the @fafo.fm podcast. It's a very precise word!

An old man on his porch whittling all day = quintessential Americana, poignant, evocative of western expansion An old man on his porch scrolling all day = contemptible, unnatural, indicative of societal collapse

Stop saying that one programming language is better than another. It all depends what you want to do. When you want to fight with a borrow checker, use Rust. When you want to guess which esoteric tsconfig some lib requires, try TypeScript. When you feel like yelling at a package manager, do Python.

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit
