Software Engineer and AI enthusiast. Sharing what I build and learn.
In hindsight, the TV shows TechTV, MythBusters, and No Reservations influenced me a lot.
I just need Opus 4 to tide me over until GPT-5.
I just need GPT-5 to tide me over until Gemini 3.

Andrej Karpathy: Software Is Changing (Again)
They call it “Claude Code” but people are turning it into a general purpose LLM scripting platform.
The main advantage it has over the desktop apps is it can “auto compact” when the messages get long and keep going and going.
Meditations - Marcus Aurelius 
What would you do if you had a million tokens?
I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two Claude Code windows at the same time, man.
AI is following a similar trajectory as smartphones
First, smartphones were enthusiastically adopted by power users who got a huge stepwise advantage (blackberry execs)
Then huge skepticism by general public
Followed by utter domination
Finally collective amnesia that the world was any other way
We're on an Intel style Tick–tock model with these AI releases now.
Tick: new OpenAI model
Tock: new Anthropic model
The cost difference between using Claude Code and cursor /API is insane.
For the $100/mo plan I've already gotten $500+ dollars worth of tokens in 3 days.
I’m basically on track to spend ~3k worth of API credits per month. 
Balsamic vinegar gets all the attention but I'm more into red wine and champagne vinegar now

Opus 4 is about 8x more expensive than o3 now (after the o3 price drop).
The lack of auto advance on short form video platforms is interesting.
In contrast regular YouTube keeps playing on its own forever.
Guessing the manual user swipes are an incredibly powerful signal for the algo.
Does anyone actually want the video to repeat by default?
No matter how well intentioned your company is, some random judge can force you to spy on everyone.
I’ve been vibe coding since the GPT-3 API beta.
The AI cope bubble is getting even bigger than the AI hype bubble.
These AI + search tools are cutting through “bro science” like a hot knife
“Bro science” meaning over reliance on n=1 anecdotal evidence or single sources
I keep fact checking conventional wisdom and am surprised at how often it’s wrong
