Bertrand Russell wrote a text which touches on this exact subject, The Conquest of Happiness [1]. Ignore the hyperbole of the "who should read it". In my opinion, it is his thoughts on happiness from his own life. Some of it is

Yes - presuming the funds can’t earn SOFR+. The opportunity cost is the interest being earned elsewhere (minus interest earned taxes)

Curious what others use to store media for home/remote use. I naively assumed my purchases from [company A] would mean I have permanent/immutable access. Even in the case of access not being revoked, I've found content itself

I enjoyed the sentiment, thank you for sharing. Came to post about the site. My first reaction to the layout was "Oh, must be optimized for mobile." Then I clicked a link in one of the articles and it opened alongside it. Very sli

Hot Take: best $5k you've ever spent. Imagine living your whole life thinking you couldn't do it? I'm not saying it's fun. Just saying it may be a good thing.

I agree. We skipped CLIs and went all the way to TUIs because TUIs are "easy to make now"? Or maybe because claude/codex? But in practice you are padding token counts of agents reading streams of TUIs instead of leveraging st

I agree. The first paragraph on the page implies the javascript can natively search your machine (vs. via Browser Extensions)

They're also the only avenue to breaking out of the browser sandbox.

Yes exactly. The problem is TUIs. Or at least the assumption you're only supposed to use a TUI. There are plaintext ways to invoke things but the advertised Claude/Codex experience is a TUI. You can't pipe the contents becaus

This is a github pages feature. Given an account with the name "example", they can publish static pages to example.github.io So this being from github.github.io implies it's published by the "github" account on gith

I prefer all my custom commands as 1 letter. On my most frequently used machine/dev env this means - e for vim m for mise n for pnpm c for Claude x for codex

I was excited for actions because it was “next to” my source code. I (tend to) complain about actions because I use them. Open to someone telling me there is a perfect solution out there. But today my actions fixes were not actions related.

Couldn't agree more. I would expect older models make you feel this way. * Agents not trying to do the impossible (or not being an "over eager people pleaser" as it has been described) has significantly improved over the pa

I find myself using VS Code for "things like this" (its visual extension ecosystem). I've grown attached to the git diff view, so I use it for reviewing PRs mostly (especially larger ones as github UI has been struggling with

I spent some time last night "over iterating" on a plan to do some refactoring in a large codebase. I created the original plan with a very specific ask - create an abstraction to remove some tight coupling. Small problem that had

Yes, but image size restrictions bring more failure than success in my experience. Thank you for your comment.

My experience with the off the shelf MCP tools is they still fall short of giving Claude or Codex a screenshot. I'm interested in whether or not others agree.

Congratulations to the Figma team! Well earned. It was such an exciting product when it hit the scene. It became the standard so fast, and it was easy to see why. When there were talks of them being bought for $20 billion I thought it was a

Thank you for sharing. I particularly enjoyed the call out where you highlight what you learned from the incident. Took the post from fear-brain to information-brain for me (don't mind my curiosity haha). I had a much less intrusive in
