it's pi. just use pi.
I just want a Claude Code that is much more lightweight. Way smaller system prompts, way less bloat in general. It could probably be 3x faster and more effective if it wasn't overly bloated. This is really frustrating. Perhaps I should roll my own

Just read @davidcrawshaw's beautiful explanation on the current state of software / systems: crawshaw.io/blog/remembering… Every time I read a personal blogpost by someone from the @Tailscale team, I can always feel the strong alignment b/w their own values and Tailscale's mission.

Rest is not a reward. Rest is a necessity. You don't have to earn it. It has no moral value. You *need* to rest.

Four years ago, I graduated from a coding bootcamp after quitting my career. Since then, I’ve gone from junior to senior to lead engineer and I make three times what I was making as a seasoned coffee buyer. I’m a queer/biracial/anxiety/trash-girl and I did it, and so can you.

You know I have a weird definition of laziness when I spend many hours reading through source code of packages I find on npm but will only buy slip-on sneakers because I can't be bothered to tie laces.
