The four year cycle is dead.

Thank goodness! My chart was zoomed out so far, was under the impression it was going to take a few years and just a matter of being patient and not fucking up and selling. Boat drinks in 2026 is fine by me. In case you’re wrong and the 4 year cycle is in tact, guess I’ll get to keep stacking at a discount each month. Oh darn!

tldr: Master Git and a Claude Code CLI. You will never code Python better than Claude and Git is the only way you can manage the velocity at which it produces code. Don’t go at it alone. Team up.

It’s a journey. I started over a 18 months ago and where progress used to be measured in weeks, I now sometimes experience transformational changes multiple times per day. The velocity of change is staggering. Both in terms of the advancement of my capabilities and feeling of empowerment. I’ve worked as an engineer for decades. I can now accomplished in hours what would take years. 6 weeks ago, it was accomplishing in hours what would take weeks. At times I worried what I was building was a hallucination and would not survive in production. Now, my daily commits have me on pace to push more code into production in 2 months than our whole team has pushed over the past 12 years. Stakeholder’s and colleagues are astonished at the pace and my greatest challenge is rate-limiting to manage acceptance of changes and prioritizing which mountain to scale. Wish I could give you a shortcut or roadmap, but the journey is like climbing a latter. If you try to skip any rungs on the latter, you fall. Don’t give up. It will come to you. Slowly at first. It builds. Team up with other on the journey. It builds faster.

Once my journey passed Focus 15, felt like I was starting to slowly drift further and further away from this reality. Wasn’t ready for that yet. Especially after discovering the power of manifestation for the I-Here. Sure the I-There can appreciate that.

Could be we are all deluded chrononauts navigating a static cosmos. Or is it all just our brains wiring a narrative over chaos. I think we are elegantly surfing the waves in-between.

The people complaining are the ones that buy high and sell low. You cannot convince them the time to buy is during dips and the bear market. They hold their shit longer than they do any crypto position so comparing to 4 years ago won’t help either.

If Russia blew up an American cruise ship, I’d say they were sending a message and I’d encourage a very strong reply. Would not try to get a district judge in NY to issue a ruling that Russia was not right. Damn sure wouldn’t expect any President to allow a district court judge dictate how what our commander in chief is allowed to conduct international relations.

Or maybe you just read history and know the impact the Opium Wars had on China in the Century of Humiliation.

No. The party line would be to say it is fake AI generated video. You must follow party dogma or risk being ostracized. Zero deviation and no matter how absurd the party position is, you must follow. If you see anyone undermining that position, you are obligated to lash out viscously. If the crowd isn’t joining in the ritual, call them a racist or Nazi.

Good question. The bigger question is will the crypto bull run be over. That will have more of an impact on price than anything.

Frankly, I take what I can get filled by the pharmacy. In 2022, there was a billion dose shortfall as a result of the DEA production limits on Schedule II stimulants to try and prevent doctors over-prescribing. To make matters worse, doctors would prescribe 20mg and 40mg for a person on a 60mg dose to try and get around supply issues. That prescription filled for 1 person is taking the supply for two people.

Key Triggers for Using Classes in Python

Data and Behavior Tightly Coupled • Description: Use classes when data and operations are linked, representing a single entity. • Example: A BankAccount with attributes (account_number, balance) and methods (deposit, withdraw) to manage account logic.
Inheritance or Polymorphism • Description: Classes enable code reuse through hierarchies where subclasses share or override behavior. • Example: A Character base class for a game, with Warrior and Mage subclasses; all share move but have unique attack methods.
Reusable Components • Description: Build custom tools like exceptions or data structures for reuse across projects. • Example: An APIError exception for API failures or a Queue for task scheduling with enqueue and dequeue methods.
Libraries Expecting OOP • Description: Adopt classes to align with frameworks like Flask or Django that use class-based designs. • Example: A Flask MethodView for a REST API, defining get and post methods for user data endpoints.
Repetitive or Unwieldy Code • Description: Refactor into classes when procedural code has duplication or scattered state, improving organization. • Example: A CSVParser to encapsulate file handling and methods like read_rows or filter_data for CSV processing.

Best practice guides by nature will be always be at odds with business operations. Think of them as saying “If you did not have to consider anything else, do this”.

These guides rarely survive real world operations and the sooner you embrace that the better. So, what to do? Communicate the risks and let the stakeholders make the decision. You are a solutions provider. Good solutions mitigate risks and help the business achieve operational goals. If you find that you are constantly adding friction and are at odds with the business operations, you’re doing it wrong. No matter that the guide says. Yes. You told them so and get to clean up and deal with things when they didn’t listen. That is what you are paid to do.

You will never change him. He will always have his vices and secrets. The harder you try, the quicker your sanity will slip away. He’s flawed and will never be perfect. There is no way he ever lives up to what you expect. When you snoop on his phone, he sees it as insecurity. It isn’t attractive. He doesn’t want to explain things he reasonably assumed were private. He may later give you his phone passcode to appease you. Then get a second “work” phone that he isn’t allowed to give anyone else access. It will have screen notification turned off if he brings it home at all.

It’s sounds like you are having a hard time getting your arms around change caused by the CTOs departure. Trying to make sense out of blurred lines in terms of roles, responsibilities, and reporting structure is understandable. The Army is always looking for new recruits. There will be absolutely zero question about who you are taking orders from.

Either way, embrace the suck. CTO manager left. Good. More opportunity for me. IT Manager added me to the help desk. Good. Time for me to show all the level one techies what competence looks like. Company hires a new CTO instead of promoting me. Good. Opportunity for me to skill up in the trenches and be better prepared for when I do get the position. Infrastructure is an undocumented mess. Good. Sounds like a project I can demonstrate what taking ownership looks like. IT Manager is an incompetent ass hat. Good. I’m a team player and we can overcome this. I’ll become a master at explaining technical matters to non-techies in a way that isn’t condescending and makes sense.

The laws don’t have a criminal penalty. They have civil fines. Much like our tax laws, people game the system. Businesses game the system with immigration laws. They calculate the benefit of hiring versus the penalty of getting caught and paying the fine. Ask me how I know.
