I love the gym so much I can’t believe this is considered a chore

Big national security meetings on Monday. Prepped weeks to get BEAUTIFUL materials. Only ONE change required. But my designer goes offline Sunday night. Zero design skills. Near-zero powerpoint skills. But I hear a monkey can code interactive sites with Claude. Let's try.

ok this is literally me! chatgpt is my bestie while claude is my coworker and I have strict boundaries with both lol

The codebase of a more complex project I'm working on w/ claude code is now starting to outpace my mental model of it. This feels like the tax of building fast with AI which likely a lot of folks are running into?

The secret of life is to approach it playfully. Everything can be approached with a sense of lightness, joy, and ease. Doesn't matter what you're doing. Working at a cafe. Meeting someone new. Going out to dinner. Taking a work call. Writing a tweet. Going on a crazy travel adventure. The illusion is that things are meant to be taken seriously. This morning, I caught myself racing against time. I had a friend arriving in Thailand. I wanted to work out, jump in the ocean, and get coffee before he got here. I was stressed and tense — battling against reality instead of flowing with it. But everything changed with one mindset shift. It's what I have tattooed on my arm: "It's all play." I decided to see the entire situation as a scene out of a movie to experience — rather than something to control and fight. Ripping my motorbike through town, jumping in the ocean, and grabbing a cappuccino became an electric experience to enjoy rather than something to rush through. My friend arrived, and the rest of the day flowed magically because my vibrational state shifted from tension to flow. So whenever you're rushing, tense, or way too serious — a red flag should go up in your mind. Life is not meant to be taken so seriously. Reality is not meant to be controlled and fought against. This is meant to be a game, a movie, an exploration in consciousness, and a journey your soul chose to experience through the character of you. Sink into that state of awareness and watch your life play out more magically than you could have ever controlled from a tense, rigid mind. It's all play.

You can just do things (genetically sequence your dog’s tumors and design a bespoke mRNA cancer vaccine to save her life)

If you knew how bad the software situation is in literally every non tech field, you would be cheering cheering cheering this moment, medicine, research, infrastructure, government, defense, travel Software deflation is going to bring surplus to literally the entire world

My biggest lifestyle win this year was hitting an avg of >13,000 daily steps, 144 strength training workouts, 0 alc drinks The QOL impact of living where you're a ~15min walk or less from friends, parks, a gym, a library, restaurants, cafes, groceries, etc. is unparalleled
