I think one of the most delightful aspects of Claude Code is that it's willing to improve itself. So many of these agentic workflows lack an easy direct feedback loop like the way skills work with CC.

Is this industry really just such complete dog shit that people are completely stunned when you prove to them that you care what they think?
Well in case anyone was wondering, AI Slop is alive and well just check your ATS ๐

Bill would have proclaimed loudly what the problem was after asking CGPT and never bothered to talk to anyone else.
Happy put your snow-brush in the car day to all those who celebrate.

Here's the strategy:
Weirdly reminded today of just how impactful the album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots was to my youth. Good art makes you feel something, great art makes impact, and that album was a masterpiece front to back.

OH: "bro communicating with ur coworkers is pretty cool"
Been reflecting on the role Toxic individualism plays in corporate culture. Some pretty significant signals - Meetings are seen as a negative thing - conversations are shut down because they're taking to much time - squeaky wheel gets the grease - Command and Control is the soup du jour. What else?
So much harm has been done. Our community is in shambles, but donโt worry the media circus continues.
Wow I haven't felt the urge to subtweet this hard in awhile. Fucking hell.
Fucking hell. Leadership can be incredibly fulfilling and draining all at the same time. Like simultaneously some of the most impactful work and some of the most difficult work I have ever done.
Happy Wednesday, I just broke my glasses for the second time in 10 days ๐ so that's how my day is going.
Ugh, I was ranting about this yesterday.
Does the binary nature of "What went well" and "What didn't go well" annoy anyone else? It's been awhile since I've gotten into a fight about how Mechanistic Reasoning is hiding in our mental models so much that we don't even realize they're hiding in there.
On the plus side, if my calendar is empty I don't have to go to any meetings right?

Also hi new followers, happy to see a space that feels like old tech twitter again. Not sure how much I will engage in it because *gestures at the general state of the world* but it feels good that it's here.
Ah the classic "it can't be that hard". Nothing screams I have no idea what you do or how you do it than "it can't be that hard".
Sad to see corporate policies erase years of work in OSS. I guess we should have been more prepared but damn like that's some bullshit to just kill a project and not tell anyone associated with it.
Indeed.
Typically 30 minutes. Sometimes an hour, depends on the kind of 1:1 it is.
8 1 on 1s in a single day. ๐ And people wonder how I keep a pulse on the organization.

A sign of a good manager is that they read through what you're saying and ask deeper questions to find out more. This is true for both what you're excited about and what is bothering you. And if you're midwestern, when you say everything is fine. They seek to understand and find common ground.
