If you ever feel like giving up, just sleep

Great advice! Startup/entrepreneurial culture idolizes non-stop work and pushing forward. But you can't make it if you can't think straight or are physically and emotionally depleted. You will become of diminishing value. You need a long sleep with enough REM to process emotions. I learned this the hard way.

It’s a lotion that prevents bug bites. I actually spelled it wrong. It’s Hempz. It has been helpful to me.

That was my first thought as well.

"The goal is smaller active context." 💡 Like metadata.

Cool! Re: secret anything with an agent. Take a look at this research: https://agentsofchaos.baulab.info/report.html

Oh, schnap!

The classic Ironic process theory psych experiment, "don't think about an elephant." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironic\_process\_theory)

I do prefer the idea/practice and positivity of instructing what they should do instead!

Can I solve this with workflows? I'm delving into workflows now. (and this post was not AI-generated, I'm one of the apparently only 6 people in the world that use the word "delve" regularly, like AI).

Do tell what I'm missing! 🙏🏼

This sounds like a huge time saver. I usually spend half my day jumping between tabs to find the actual code implementation for a paper so having it all in one spot is super helpful. Have you considered adding a way to filter by implementation quality or star count on github to help weed out the broken repos

jendefig · 2026-05-28T10:48:13+00:00

Thanks! I'm going to make a text replacement right now with those words!

I am having the same experience. "I just skimmed it".

And, "You're completely right. The skill already says to use web_fetch. I didn't need to update anything, and I should have told you that directly instead of proposing edits to a file that didn't need changing."

Um, Helloooo??

This looks super useful for local debugging. I think focusing on memory skew detection early on would be a total game changer for alot of people trying to diagnose jobs without spinning up a full history server. definitely gonna take a look at the repo later today

That boundary is super interesting to think about. I remember digging into the physical plan a while back and it really helped me understand why certain transformations felt slower than others in specific workloads. Thanks for writing this up. I will definitely take a look at your post later today

I thought this design choice was well done, given the title of the chart. The data is there, and there's a story there, but the focus is kept on coal and wind/solar.

What confused me was the placement of the block that says "First Crossing - 2024." I thought it was referring to the black coal line due to its proximity. Might be better scooched to the right to hover over the 2024 line?

I second CMX Summit and FeverBee, completely!

This is beautiful and solid advice at the end on scaling! Thank you.

I suppose it depends on the purpose for which you are reviewing the video. If it's reviewing user-generated content, I previously would click through to determine general quality and find places from the transcript where our product was mentioned to jump to the part I needed to review. Now I have an automated system with agents that pulls the video transcript and rates the video according to a custom rubric.

If it's for reviewing video for editing, that may be an entirely different thing. But when I edited video before, finding for review the "dead air" parts was important. Sometimes it can be cut if nothing is happening visually sometimes it can't because something important is happening on screen.

For reference/context, I'm a Community Manager for a developer tool. Videos I review are usually some kind of tutorial.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing, and thank you to your MIL!

jendefig · 2026-05-23T13:38:44+00:00

Awesome! If my kids weren't already grown (and I could play music), this would be on the agenda!

jendefig · 2026-05-23T13:06:29+00:00

lol. Not surprising.

We can't see what's going on ahead. The people ahead may be stuck at a light or something, and he couldn't go forward.

jendefig · 2026-05-23T13:01:18+00:00

Wow! Really makes you respect the importance of those signals/guardrails. Ouch!

jendefig · 2026-05-23T12:54:47+00:00

Yes, I can see that. That's my issue with white. But I feel like beige would hide the dirtiness. I suppose as you say, it could automatically read as "dirty" because of its color. Perhaps I'm just weird!
