The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month. I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: felixrieseberg.com/hunger-be…

The ability to build anything has come with a critical lesson: Engineers have really, really bad ideas.

Caring is the moat, you should feel visceral pain when things are bad or broken and stop at nothing to fix them

went to visit a friend who’s a ceramicist and works in a studio with no phone signal in a tiny yorkshire village. he doesn’t listen to podcasts or music, only occasionally uses the radio, and when I asked him what he thinks about all day he just said “well, pots mostly”

Most people who dream of a quiet life without work are just exhausted from work they hate. The reason you get bored on vacation after a week is that you are meant to move, pursue something exciting, and engage your body and mind in something useful. Do whatever it takes to find work that energizes you. It may take years, but it will have the most meaningful effect on your quality of life.

I would use Codex way more if they had a 4hr limit, instead of a 1wk limit. Feel like I just better understand my token usage more in Claude, as was mostly at Claude shops the past year

ok i did this hack TV ui thing today. My dad has moderate Alzheimer's. We are moving him into our home this weekend. He just basically wants to watch his favorite teams all day (Braves and Falcons). We have smart TVs. They are too complex. Codex built a really simple and beautiful app. 4 buttons in the UI (sports channels only). Even programmed the remote to only go back to menu and change volume. Incredible use case

kinda miss social media in 2012 where the concept of an influencer didn’t exist and everyone was using instagram’s premade filters and posting pictures of random shit like a handful of skittles or an overexposed sunset those were the days
