Don’t read this if you only like happy stories.
This one gets messy, real quick. 🧵
Quick tip:
Brainstorm with Claude about your key features in an incognito/temporary chat.
Context is good but sometimes it creates unnecessary constraints.
Try it!
Devs, this mistake will burn your dollars!
If you hit a limit on your Claude Max plan then...
NEVER use "usage credits".
Instead, buy pro or max plan in another account.
Use /login in the Claude code and login with new account and start working like normal.
Easy, isnt it?
Quick Claude tip:
1. Go to /config
2. turn "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" to true
3. Control all sessions from the mobile in the claude app
If this is turned off then for each session you need to do /remote-control if you want to control from mobile.
Which way you prefer and why?
Life saver for devs:
I noticed I was building a lot of features which were not needed immediately.
Solution? Goals .md
It has all my goals listed down with priority.
And my /discuss skill before starting any discussion checks with goals .md and warns me if it is not in the direction of achieving goals.
Simple but effective.
The number of parallel coding sessions you can run is inversely proportional to the number of MCP servers you have installed.
Be careful.
You don’t need a MCP server just because your “favorite influencer” is using it.
But there is a way to optimize it. Do you know that?
I have created 10+ skills in my Claude Code setup.
But these 2 skills have helped me the best.
1. /discuss - This skill takes a new feature idea as input and then ask me questions based on unknowns. Once we are on same page then it converts the discussion to a spec file.
The spec file marks it either light, standard or full.
2. /feature - This is a pipeline which takes a spec file as an input then:
a. Create a separate worktree for it branching from current main
b. Run a series of subagents (scout, planner, implementer etc.) and loops based on whether spec file is light, standard or full.
What are your favorite self-created skills?
NEW: X has open-sourced its algorithm again!
I asked Fable 5 to go through it and tell me what I should know as a X user.
Here is the summary so that you can also get benefitted from it:
=========================================
How X decides what to show people (in plain words)
How it works: When you post, X's system guesses how likely each person is to do something with your post... like it, reply, share it, mute you, etc. Each action has a point value. Your post's score = chance of action × points for that action, added up. High score = shown to more people.
For the detailed point values see the graphic but basically
▎ A like is worthless (0.5 points).
▎ A reply = 10 likes.
▎ Someone sharing your post's link = 40 likes.
▎ One mute = MINUS 118 likes.
▎ One report = MINUS 468 likes.
Plus 4 extra rules:
- If someone who follows you AND you follow back is likely to reply → 15× bonus
- Your 2nd, 3rd post in a row gets half the value each time
- Your post shown to strangers (non-followers) only loses 25% value... so reaching strangers is very doable
- New/small accounts get a deliberate boost... the algorithm gives you test audiences on purpose
- Posts that get clicks but no likes get punished... the clickbait penalty
What this means for you
1. Likes are almost worthless. One reply = 10 likes. One person copying your link to share = 40 likes. Write posts people answer or send to a friend... not posts people just tap a heart on.
2. Upsetting people is deadly. One mute wipes out ~117 likes. One report wipes out ~468. Never spam, never bait, never post stuff your followers didn't sign up for. A few annoyed people mathematically beat a crowd of happy ones.
3. Your friend circle is the engine. Replies between people who follow each other count 15× more. A small group of mutuals who genuinely talk to each other beats thousands of silent followers. This is why "build in public" groups grow... it's literally in the code.
4. Make strangers hit follow. A follow from a post is worth 8 likes, and your posts DO reach strangers. So every post should make sense to someone seeing you for the first time.
5. Don't post back-to-back. Each extra post in a short window is worth half the previous one. Space them out by hours.
6. You already get free test audiences. As a smaller account, X shows your posts to sample groups on purpose. Your problem isn't reach... it's that those test viewers aren't replying or sharing.
7. Hook fast, then deliver. People scrolling past hurts you a little, and clicks alone are worth nearly nothing... but clickbait without likes gets punished. So grab attention in line one, then actually be worth it.
Your playbook:
1. Reply to accounts in your niche every day (that builds the 15× mutual circle).
2. Write posts that ask questions or take positions people respond to.
3. Make stuff worth saving and sending (checklists, breakdowns).
4. Never post to a wider audience than your followers expect.
5. One post at a time, spaced out.
Dutch parenting is so goated 🙌
PS nothing wrong with rich kids, I didn't grow up poor at all
My dad was a cardiologist in Netherlands, me and my brothers each had a PC for ex, which was exceptional, not rich like American doctors btw, but about upper middle class in NL
But our parents generally gave us stuff to develop ourselves, not regular toys, but creative stuff like a guitar or PC and it worked out well to develop us
The money mostly stopped around 18 and we had to move out (like most Dutch kids do/did when going to uni) and get a job (I worked in a callcenter because I was DJing/producing drum & bass music) or go uni
I fucked up public high school and parents paid one year private school to get me to finish high school after I failed 3 years and sucked at it so much like my brother
I paid back that money a decade ago
Anyway I'm happy we grew up well but they cut me off so I could do my own thing and spread my wings and fly
If a non-Indian asks, then India.
If an Indian asks, then Udaipur, Rajasthan
I lost my younger sister to Covid.
It’s so painful to read. Will there ever be justice?
I have no hope 😢
Time for dishwasher story.
We, me and my wife discovered dishwasher 9 years back when came to the Netherlands.
Initially we resisted using it citing same reasons below.
Then somehow started using it. With some learning curve we started getting good results.
We became “dishwasher advocates” and suggested my parents and in-laws to buy it.
They were like “500 rs me dhul jate hai maid se, isme bahut jhanjhat hai”
Then my mum came to the Netherlands, she was washing manually even we had dishwasher (lol).
Then I said leave utensils to us. She would observe me(or my wife) using dishwasher.
Finally she tried using dishwasher. With some learning curve.
She just loved it. So much so that we bought the dishwasher at my India home.
She is using it there from last 2 years.
Fun fact: word got around in the hometown that there is this new device. People came specially to see it. They will ask a lot of questions.
And then? Same response “500 rs me dhul jate hai maid se, isme bahut jhanjhat hai bla bla”
But here is why we love dishwasher:
Myth: “Bahut paani lagta hai.”
Fact: A full cycle uses 10–12 litres. Washing the same load by hand with a running tap easily crosses 40–60 litres. The dishwasher wins, not by a little.
Myth: “Bijli ka bill aa jayega.”
Fact: An eco cycle is roughly 0.8–1 unit. That’s about ₹8–10 a load in India. One tea outside costs more.
Myth: “Pehle haath se dhona padta hai, phir machine mein.”
Fact: You scrape, you don’t rinse. Modern detergents are enzyme-based… they actually need some food residue to work on. Pre-rinsing makes results worse, not better.
Myth: “Indian bartan clean nahi hote.”
Fact: Steel thali, kadhai, pressure cooker, dabbe… all fine.
Myth: “3-in-1 tab kaafi hai.”
Fact: In India, no. Hard water is the actual reason most people’s dishwasher “fails.” You need separate salt and rinse aid. Skip these and you get white film on everything, then you blame the machine.
Myth: “2-3 ghante lagte hain, bahut slow hai.”
Fact: Machine time is 1-2 hours. Your time is 5 minutes. Those are different numbers and people keep confusing them.
Myth: “500 rupaye mein maid dho deti hai.”
Fact: This one isn’t wrong on cost. It’s wrong on what you’re actually buying. You’re buying: no waiting for someone to show up, no adjusting your dinner time to her schedule, hotter water than your hands can tolerate, and utensils that are actually sanitised. Cost isn’t the argument. Control is.
What we love most is?
Bhai jhoothan hatao, bartan load karo or ek dam sukhe hue clean milte hai vaapas. Keval jamana bachta hai.
BTW We use BOSCH SMV6ZCX10E PerfectDry Built-in Dishwasher - Fully Integrated - 14 Place Settings - 40 dB(A)
My opinion is entirely opposite of this man. You need atleast 15 minutes to arrange the dishes properly. You can wash many dishes in that time. If you don't scrub the dishes which are used for cooking, it won't clean properly. Serving plates and cups can be placed without scrubbing. You need to collect until the washer is full. I use Bosch dishwasher yet my experience is not satisfactory. Now it is simply occupying space in my kitchen. Anyway I am happy for him, it's working for him.
Claude code is annoying for only this reason.
It keep pushing for cutting the scope. Defer this, defer that. And then you lose track of whats deferred and get thin functionalities.
Are you also facing same issue?
Only today I was telling this to my mum. We stopped consuming sugar as a family and now fruits are tasting like heaven 😋
Stop eating sweets for 30 days, and then even a bite of banana will start tasting like heaven.
Stop eating namkeen farsaan for 30 days and then even a little sprinkle of salt lemon zeera on cucumber will start tasting like heaven.
Stop ordering food for 30 days, and then even simple ghar ka dal chawal with 2 egg or 50g tofu will start feeling like comfort food.
In 30 days you can literally reset your taste buds and your psychology towards food.
JUST. 30. DAYS!
