the engineer who built Claude Code just dropped a 28-minute video on how to write prompts that actually work I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what he shows in the first 10 minutes CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, prompting patterns all in one video and completely free works whether you're a developer, a beginner, or someone who's been using Claude for months based on this, I put together below guide you can read and implement in Claude today

BREAKING: The 7,000 IRS agents fired by Trump and DOGE appear to have mainly been employees who worked in the Large Business and International (LB&I) division, which audits companies with more than $10 million in assets and high-income individuals. Weird, right? It’s almost as if they are trying to help Billionaires and cut the revenue of the US, meaning that the middle class will suffer.

I sincerely do not understand how developers tolerate the Python tooling. From installing Python, to installing dependencies, nothing works out of the box. How can the Python community be satisfied with the status quo? Is it Stockholm syndrome?

apple sherlocked 1Password today, so i'd like to remind you that your Apple ID is only as secure as your carrier. if you have 2FA on and get SIM swapped, attackers can lock you out of it PERMANENTLY. last month it happened to me. make sure it doesn't happen to you: 🧵

I'm really tired of folks bashing the .NET and Microsoft developer ecosystem without really looking at what's available today. As a startup you get free copies of Visual Studio, free developer frameworks, build tools, source control, CI/CD and hosting.

Every time I feel like the full terribleness of Date in JavaScript is known to me I find a new way to be unpleasantly surprised.

Rule for choosing between a URL path and search param: Search params are optional. So, if it’s required to render the page make it part of the URL's path. If it’s optional (you can fall back to a default), make it a search param.

Nice tribute to your pop here, Wendell. My dad returned to the Source almost 15 years ago. People reading this: If you have parents living, don't squander this time that they're here. They won't always be. Have no regrets. Call tonight (maybe at halftime if you're watching TNF).

Can you imagine any other business not being able to send 1 itemized bill? They would never survive. Unfortunately, we have gotten so numb to the health care industry doing this.....we don't even notice anymore.

Apple News is raising the monthly subscription price 30%, more than eight times the rate of inflation. This is what's called "market power" - the ability to raise prices regarding of market conditions. Apple is effectively in monopoly & can engage in this kind of rip off.

People messaging me that they don't like Microsoft so they refuse to use Windows or .NET. However, they do use GitHub, LinkedIn, VS Code, TypeScript and/or NPM. I see you 👀

I had this problem with a bug in my cloud services so rather then sit down and really give it some thought .. I’m just gonna rate limit it to 1 person per hour Problem solved. This new meta is so much cheaper and easier to work with
