Last year I read the manuscript for a book about a new psychological paradigm and it changed the course of my life

stop texting my your ai conversation outputs. it's only interesting to you. the sycophancy towards you is embarrassing

Just finished a rewatch of Mad Men. I forgot about the Coke ad. I loved the end this time. Something about America and who we really are... the corporatization of idealism... it's honest

Just did a deep cleanup on my CLAUDE.md based on latest Anthropic guidance. Key takeaway: CLAUDE.md should be 60-150 lines max; mine had ballooned to 786 😬 (now 110!) Restructured it by pulling domain-specific docs into path-scoped rules files (.claude/rules/) with globs: frontmatter, so Claude only loads them when touching relevant files. Went from 1 bloated file to 5 focused ones totaling ~300 lines. Then built an /update-docs skill that audits all docs against actual source code and auto-fixes drift. The skill has a "best practices" section with a date stamp; when it goes stale (i defined as "3 months"), it web-searches for current Anthropic guidance and updates itself. If you want to do the same for your projects, tell Claude something like: "Research the latest Anthropic best practices for CLAUDE.md and path-scoped rules files, then audit my CLAUDE.md against those recommendations and restructure it." From there you can ask it to extract sections into .claude/rules/ files and build a similar update skill."

hi, i’m chris and i’m building Relate

third time's a charm

In the Shiphaus today working on Relate. Improvements currently in development: - adding memory so the ai gets to know you the more you use it - simplifying the end-of-session experience - adding option to start new session to go deeper based on past sessions Try it now: https://relateapp.io/

i now have a proper backend server. this feels like a pretty big vibecoding milestone.

clean graft

I miss cigarette commercials. They were so cool

There is no fork

And so it begins I will try to offset this in 2026 by about 3 or so

I took this course last fall. They’re starting a new cohort March 9th. The course: - shows how consciousness uses conflict and challenge to grow - explains why conversations break down—and what allows them to move forward - explains what discomfort is for, and how growth actually happens - reveals how change occurs without force or control This course would be helpful to anybody for personal and professional reasons. I can’t recommend it enough. https://instituteforemergence.org/trainingsandworkshops

my friend said he keeps 5% of the code that is produced by ai. he runs 5 agents in parallel and has them fight it out for the best quality code. runs take at least 24 hours. this seems... excessive?

packed my stuff to start my Fruitling Valley farm ~uwu~ Lol, nice tech @mattkim !

Just spent 5 minutes on Linkedin. All my former Ledger colleagues are talking about AI agents and they think that a human should sign all transactions with a hardware wallet. They can't *really* think this is true; but their business model won't allow them to say otherwise. If you take it at face value, it's like they're living under a rock: smart wallets? spend permissions? hello??? It's so disingenuous. It's security FUD at it's finest. Very happy to no longer work there.

I was a member of a gym in Santa Monica for 11 years that invented a programming methodology; the methodology is explained in a podcast from 10 years ago and workouts from the last 15 years are publicly available in google docs on their website. *Claude Code engaged* ~new personal programming tool incoming~

My last non-financial cast from the base app 🫡

I watched the halftime performance with curiosity as I have never listened to any of Bad Bunny's music before and I think I get why he's become so popular. Bad Bunny’s popularity comes from a perfect overlap of timing and audience. Latin music already has a massive, dedicated Spanish-speaking base, and crossover stars have existed for decades. What’s different now is that mainstream American audiences are already used to listening to hip-hop that’s more about vibe than lyrical clarity, so language isn’t a real barrier anymore (see: mumble rap). Bad Bunny adds a familiar, non-threatening hip-hop sound with a Latin twist, which makes it easy for non-Spanish speakers to enjoy, while still being genuinely authentic and meaningful for Puerto Rican and broader Latin audiences. So "everyone" can like him for different reasons. Not for me though, thanks.
