Welp, Twitter finally took away my blue check, and I am definitely not paying to get it back.
I came back to do some self-promotion, thinking hey, it’s probably not as bad here as folks say.
It is worse.
Clickbait. Ragebait. Absolutely psychotic discourse boosted to millions. Bots, trolls, and spam. Hate, vitriol, and moral decay.
Twitter was great.
This is awful.
When companies push suggested/recommended/sponsored notifications into UI that also includes relevant notifications, that UI becomes pure nuisance. There has to be research showing it damages user trust and engagement. Such a bad pattern.
I’m a world class hide-and-seek player. 🏆
And I’m making sure my kids are just as good at it as me. 🏋️♀️
Forget generational wealth. 💰
I’m creating generational stealth. 🥷
Claude and Codex should have a feature where if they encounter code created by the other model, they complain about the work quality of the last guy while making changes. Like any good tradie.
The Claude crashout is real. Rate limits are noticeably tighter, agents refuse to obey the harness (won't even work on a git worktree when selected, tries to work off the main repo), and needs approval for every single thing.
Meanwhile Codex and Gemini just keep cooking.
Figured there would be no harm in missing the first 15 minutes of the Liverpool match. That seems to have worked out really well for me.
That AI Drake/Weeknd song got taken down because the dude actually sampled the Metro Boomin tag and they got it on copyright. Without that, song would probably be a #1 hit right now.
VC Twitter:
“San Francisco is a post-apocalyptic hellhole! Bay Area politicians are out of control! California taxes are criminal!”
Also VC Twitter:
“Your startup needs to be in SF or the Bay Area or you’ll fail. If it’s anywhere else, you need to relocate your entire team.”
🐣 Ten years ago, in 2013, I was just twenty-nine.
🎉 This year I will be thirty-nine.
⛰️The lesson?
🏆 A lot can happen in ten years.
🚴 Keep grinding
