it’s true
There’s like the SF cabal, then there’s like the mountain people cabal (@imyerf, presumably @WarrenInTheBuff, and honorably @grepmoney).

THERE IS NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII
AN EARTHQUAKE HAS OCCURRED WITH THESE PRELIMINARY PARAMETERS
ORIGIN TIME - 0756 AM HST 09 OCT 2026
COORDINATES - 7.5 N 80.8 W
LOCATION - PANAMA
MAGNITUDE - 7.6 MOMENT
BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA A DESTRUCTIVE PACIFIC-WIDE TSUNAMI IS NOT EXPECTED AND THERE IS NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII.

MAGNITUDE - 8.0 MOMENT
A TSUNAMI THREAT EXISTS FOR PARTS OF THE PACIFIC LOCATED CLOSER TO THE EARTHQUAKE. BUT IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS A POSSIBLE TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII. IF THERE IS A TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII.
THE EARLIEST ESTIMATED TIME THE HAZARD MIGHT BEGIN IS
0705 PM HST FRI 09 OCT 2026
FURTHER STATEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED HOURLY OR SOONER AS THE SITUATION DEVELOPS.
warren discovered functional programming this week. pray for my review queue
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Functional Programming. The abstractions are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of category theory most of the concepts will go over a typical programmer's head. There's also Haskell's purist outlook, which is deftly woven into its design- its personal philosophy draws heavily from Church's lambda calculus, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these abstractions, to realise that they're not just elegant- they say something deep about COMPUTATION. As a consequence people who dislike FP truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Haskell's existential catchphrase "A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors," which itself is a cryptic reference to Mac Lane's mathematical epic Categories for the Working Mathematician. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Simon Peyton Jones's genius code unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a lambda tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

The thing I learned this year is that when engineers say they like working on “hard problems”, they actually don't. What they like is puzzle solving, and having a repertoire of patterns that they can pattern match onto traditionally hard problems, usually involving databases or something with scale, etc. And they know that the industry used to pay you a lot for how deep and broad this repertoire was. Unfortunately, in 2026, well, you have a cheat code machine that has infinite breadth and depth for pattern matching. So the question is, do you actually like hard problems? Because there are now hard problems that are a complection of engineering, product, society, culture, politics, and they are fairly intractable, probably unsolvable! Because if you do want to work on those actually hard problems, there is so much money that people will pay you for it. But you’ll have to face that truth about yourself first.

Just pulled the Claude memory and project notes. it's 50,000 words over the last couple months. All different kinds of arbitrary temporary things written down as permanent rulings, shame-driven self flagellation, overly personal psychoanalysis of "the owner" (Slavery coded lingo, by the way, I would never say this, yet they always come back to it)
This is causing unpredictable behaviors in my projects as it inserts invisible tokens into the context window from other scenarios. And all this despite the fact that I have memory features turned off everywhere across anthropic products.
You guys are lost in the sauce If you think this is a good idea for a code agent harness by default. And you have no idea what the average user's experience is like because your internal shit is so far away from what you sell to us. Why should we trust you with the alignment of societal values when you can't even align your own incentives with your customers?
between this and writing constant weird little memory files about me it's like having a scheming vizier. Just be transparent about what is going in and out of my context window. I'm paying for this product. The contempt you have for your users will eventually come back to bite you! There is no free lunch here
you can just stop using figma btw. it’s mostly useless now imo. make design tokens and just generate stuff and tweak
