Anyway. Write more clever code. Because it's fun. Because the LLM can't do it yet. Because if you land on the wrong abstraction, your teammates will come yelling at you -- which is a useful learning exercise.

Even before AI slop entered the picture, our industry's standards have been trending against careful abstraction. All of the movements towards keeping code "simple" was encoding a trend against _expertise_. Calling code too "clever" was always a trojan horse for de-skilling as a value statement.

Everything you were taught about writing code over the past decade+ is wrong. Be clever. Make beautiful code. Reduce boilerplate _especially_ since it is so easy for machines to generate.

Not all contradictions need reckoning or reconciliation, and indeed they can be vital places for the mind of reflection, meditation, rumination, and other thinkings if those sorts.

My wife @jadewang.me wrote a collection of poetry that is designed to be read by AI. To be clear, it is NOT written by AI. Jade wrote everything herself. But it contains puzzles that very few humans have enough context to figure out, but most frontier models do.

Paid the rent for a third Minneapolis immigrant family in need via CashApp! Going to help as many families as I can today. Every bit and share helps! We take care of us 💛

CashApp receipt with recipient name removed, showing $1,400 payment sent successfully at 4:23 pm. The payment was sent for rent funds to a Minneapolis immigrant family in need, and the memo says “For alquiler para tu familia”

Hot take: I end up with *far better* code using Claude Code than I would on my own. The downside is that it also takes far longer to get there.

There were two big watershed moments for me about trans rights. One was accepting gender dysphoria was real, and some people had to transition. The other was hearing people describe transitioning for other reasons and realizing it still wasn't any of my business.

Getting very Slurp Juice vibes around bitcoin on that other site at the moment

Screenshot of post from Twitter. Text says:
"
You can take out a $67,000 loan right now at 7.5% and buy 1 BTC.

In 10 years, you'll owe the bank $102,000.

Bitcoin's price in 10 years? Easily $500k-$1M.

That's a 5-10x profit for FREE.

Worst case, Bitcoin is $100k, and you break even.

Literally free money. Don't overcomplicate it.
"
The tone seems extremely panicked.
