Mythos Claude is Insane This is a tutorial a 12min on how to build animated, award-Winning websites with Claude Fable 5

I've been a backend Engineer for 12 years. Today, I'm a Principal Engineer at Atlassian. I've designed systems that handle millions of requests. Sat on both sides of system design interviews. Reviewed more architecture docs than I can count. Starting today, I'm breaking down the fundamentals of scaling for the next 25 days. If you're learning system design bookmark this thread, you're going to get a lot of learning from this.

Am I the only one whose Vscode prompts them to update it like multiple times a day? Since I set it to auto check for updates, I have been updating the app at least 4 times daily.

i hooked my whoop to my work calendar to find which coworker gives me the most stress 🚨 thanks to fable, I reverse engineered whoop to pull per minute heart rate. nd matched spikes with cal events and attendees I now have a leaderboard and I think about it daily. few info masked for obvious reasons ;)

Building AI agents is fun, but shipping them to users is where the real challenges begin! External calls firing repeatedly, API rate limits, or services returning 502s – these aren't your agent's fault, but they become its problem...🧵

A person deleted 3 months of AI generated code because he could not understand it. He could not explain why it was written that way.

The earth showing of again

Bro to Bro : Make I cast one update. If you want to collect your original Waec certificate from your school they will charge you 50k~ 90k but you fit get am for 5k ~ 8k •Visit : Waec.)org •Create an account •Input your details •Log in •Just follow the prompts... It's simple to get. Just have like 8k and either your BVN, international passport or NIN. • use Concord paper to Print it out That’s your original Certificate, no cast am !!

Unpopular opinion: it's true 👀 Do you agree with this??

Wait till they rug pull us and charge us 10x for token usage. Esp after they all go public and have to show profits YoY. Get everyone hooked on it. Kill institutional knowledge esp in coding / development, so that developers will no longer understand the code base and so have to prompt their way to fixing code.

Here’s the email to employees: Team, Hope everyone’s doing well and enjoying the productivity enhancements from our AI tooling initiative. Unfortunately, Finance has asked me to clarify a small issue. It appears someone, and by “someone” I mean apparently all of you simultaneously, managed to spend $500,000,000 on @claudeai usage in a single month. For context: •NASA landed on the moon for less. •We are now the proud owner of approximately 14% of Anthropic. •Claude personally sent us a thank-you fruit basket. •Our CFO has entered a fugue state and only communicates through Slack emojis. •The electricity usage from your prompts briefly dimmed parts of Northern Virginia. While we appreciate innovation, there are concerns that: •“Can you make this email sound slightly warmer?” did not require 11,400 generations. •Asking Claude to “rewrite this in the style of Succession, Hemingway, and Tony Soprano combined” may have been excessive. •One employee appears to have used Claude to generate “a quick list of lunch options” that somehow consumed the GDP of a small island nation. Going forward, please observe the following guidelines: 1Do not upload the entire internet into Claude “for context.” 2If your prompt begins with “simulate every possible outcome,” reconsider. 3Claude should not be used to: ◦settle fantasy football disputes, ◦write your wedding vows 97 times, ◦generate revenge edits of your ex’s LinkedIn bio, ◦or ask “what if Rome had WiFi?” Most importantly: 
If you see the message: “This request may require additional datacenter construction” …please stop immediately and contact IT. Thank you all for your cooperation during this challenging yet technologically groundbreaking time. Warm regards,
Management P.S. Whoever prompted: “Generate every possible PR angle for every company founded since 1983” …we just want to talk.

Doings.

NEW: AI consultant reveals a client accidentally spent $500,000,000.00 in a single month after failing to set employee limits on Claude usage.

I set pricing for the SaaS I'm building at $20 a month, and I managed to burn $40 in tokens a day using it myself. Luckily I'm the only customer for my own product for now.

how life feels without chatgpt, claude, cursor

Yesterday, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria posted on Twitter that Nigerians can now export cow bones duty-free to China. Under the comment sections, some Nigerians were asking the ambassador to tell them what they are using the cow bones for😁 Some were telling the ambassador to tell his people to come and setup the processing facility here in Nigeria, so they can create jobs. Funny people. I laughed at our inability to do simple Google search. As a livestock farmer and Agro commodities trader, I already know the uses of cow bones. And about building a factory here in Nigeria? Nigerians are the ones to do it, but sadly everyone is building hotels😁 Let me tell you a few uses of cow bones. Here are 4 major uses of cow bones you can mention in your content; ✍🏻Bone meal fertilizer: Cow bones are processed into bone meal, rich in phosphorus and calcium, used to improve soil fertility. They prefer this to fertilize their soil not the chemical sold to our rural farmers. ✍🏻Animal feed supplement: Processed bone meal can be used as a mineral supplement in livestock feed, especially for calcium and phosphorus. We use this for chicken feed, pig, and fish feed production. Verify the price per kg and you’ll be shocked. ✍🏻Gelatin production: Cow bones can be processed to extract gelatin, used in food, pharmaceuticals, capsules, and cosmetics. Just imagine the volume of cow bones wasting in your village? Pharmaceuticals companies are paying billions of dollars to buy it from those processing it. And I believe those Chinese companies will focus more on this. It is big money wasting away in Africa because we don’t know anything about value addition. ✍🏻Activated carbon / bone char: Burnt bones can produce bone char, used in filtration, sugar refining, and water purification. Pause here and think deeply with me. They use bone char for water purification in their country. But they produce capsules and sell to us for water purification😳 Let’s not blame them. We take responsibility. Now, let’s be honest. This is a golden opportunity for us. Let’s export the cow bones and cash out. Also, let’s learn how to process the cow bones locally and export the finish product too. If I tell you now that chicken feed producers in Nigeria import bone meal, you won’t believe. Research it yourself. A ton of bone meal is around $200 - $750 currently. Bro, just imagine earning over $200 from wastage thrown around our local markets in Africa. Business opportunity for you. Do your research and see how you can position to serve this market

If you a developer residing in Nigeria, strive to get to work in a company in the US, Canada, UK or the EUs. It will help you understand system architecture quickly because those companies can invest in infrastructure. Most of you, all you know is GitHub and Vercel….the basics that get your portfolio website up and running.
