If there's anything you should learn from Jalen Brunson it's that you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. OK? OK??π

It's Friday! What better way to start your weekend than applying to RC?
The application takes about an hour, a batch lasts 6 or 12 weeks, and the community will stay with you for so much longer.
So: believe in yourself, write a little code, and think about what's been fascinating you lately. We'd love to see it.
The Summer 2 batch starts June 29th, and the window's closing soon. Apply below:

The people I see who are still able to push themselves and engage in hard intellectual work are almost all flourishing right now.
That doesn't mean they don't struggle; they do! But they don't flail.
What's the difference between struggling and flailing? Flailing is bad; it is jumping about mindlessly, bouncing to a new thing any time you feel stuck. But *struggling* is good, because friction can be formative. It means you're *trying*, you're engaged and (assuming you persist) pushing through despite the challenges.
Your capacity to do this will matter more, not less in the future, because AI is making it easier and easier to skate by (for now) while flailing.
@jasminewsun's advice to do the "cognitive equivalent to lifting heavy" regularly is spot on.

Want to find a henge near you? Maybe plan a Manhattanhenge picnic or photoshoot? Victoria Ritvo and John Pribyl built Hengefinder while at the Recurse Center:
May 27
Manhattanhenge is back π
Tonight: May 27 β 8:13 PM
Tomorrow: May 28 β 8:14 PM
That moment when the sunset lines up perfectly w/Manhattanβs street grid.
π½ Tip: You can still catch it a few days before & after too, if the sun isnβt perfectly centered, itβs still beautiful. π§‘

Rumor has it SFO will issue a travel alert for elevated risk of acquisition by Anthropic and OpenAI. If you plan to visit San Francisco, please know there's a real risk of being acquired by an AI lab after you deplane.
More seriously: congrats to the many friends who have joined the big labs recently!
Also, @RecurseCenter alums: I'll be visiting SF next month and will be hosting an alumni meetup the evening of Saturday, June 13th. DM me or check the RC calendar for details!
(No, I do not plan to sell my company, even if it would make a great post.)

Attending the @recursecenter is without a doubt one for the best things I've done for my career and social life. (If you're curious, @InterlochenArts was the other.)

200 alums came back to celebrate the @RecurseCenter's 15th birthday last night.
We had a custom cake packed with programming jokes (plus real electronics with edible licorice wires), a giant inflatable octopus, an animatronic octopus that dances with you, robot karaoke, and an interactive art game using projection mapping.
Before cutting the cake, we counted down from 15, CracklePop-style.
Thanks to the team and all the Recursers who volunteered, and to everyone who came out.
