Playing around with a Kent Beck-inspired prompt today:
Before implementation, look for opportunities to prefactor the code to make the implementation easier. "Make the change easy, then make the easy change."

You are one of the most complex things in this universe.
And you look down on yourself for not achieving something girly.

Exactly right. The bottleneck has never been compute or capital. Its taste and judgment about what humans actually want. Infinite compute just makes the great founders faster and the confused ones more confused. x.com/dflieb/status/20601962…

Thought experiment: if every company suddenly had infinite free compute, what new products would emerge?
My take: with very few exceptions, not much would change. The bottleneck is figuring out what people want, and it’s not so easy to apply compute to solve that.

In 1968, when computers were still seen as cold calculating machines, Jasia Reichardt curated an extraordinary exhibition in London called Cybernetic Serendipity. Artists, engineers, poets and scientists came together to explore the creative possibilities at the intersection of art and technology.The result was something remarkably ahead of its time. If you're curious about the early days of the relationship between computers and art, the catalogue is essential reading. The catalogue from Cybernetic Serendipity is filled with ideas, experiments and reflections that feel surprisingly relevant in our current AI era. You can read the full PDF for free here:

This 30-minute speech by the Head of Anthropic "Coding Agents" researcher will teach you more about vibe coding than 100 paid courses.
Bookmark it & give it 30 minutes today. This video will change the way you use AI forever,
This weather bot turned $300 → $122K on Polymarket weather markets in 3 months
I fully decoded algo and built a self-learning Hermes weather trading agent
using weather APIs Opus 4.7, the bot runs 5-min scans & searches mispricings on Polymarket
run your agent in 5 steps:
• set up a VPS server on Hetzner - $6
• create a weather API on {visualcrossing} - free
• set up Hermes agent using one-liner code - free
• connect Telegram bot Opus 4.7
• send {weather trading logic} from article to agent
started my agent 2 days ago with a test sum and already having 40% profit
agent already caught 2 traders with 400% ROI on Seoul & Chicago weather markets
bot used for logic: polymarket.com/@coldmath?via…
my bot test wallet:
polymarket.com/@hermesweathe…
Hermes bot is a self-learning agent so give him enought trades {100 }, to build his own logic. start small

This 2-hour Stanford lecture breaks down how models like ChatGPT and Claude are actually built, clearer than what many people in top AI roles ever get exposed to.
Save this and set aside two hours today. It might end up being the most valuable thing you learn all week.

Something I taught 14 yo: Most progress is a mix of steps forward and steps back, just with with more of the former. But you can get a run of steps back. So to judge progress accurately you need to use a big enough window, or it could look like you're failing.

If I ever do a master's in computer science, I'll do it in quantum computing.
What will you do in?

Agents are good at bash. Bash is not good for agents. We should cut our losses and restart now before it is too late.
