low key someone should make an RSC version of the stripe dashboard just to prove how it's not all about SEO.
it's such a poor data loading experience that could be largely solved with server-side fetching, bundle shaking, and suspense.

If I said for $100/month you'd never have to see another ad - would you take it? $500? $50? You wouldn't pay anything?

Arrive at the station and put my phone away because things are happening. Train starts moving.
Pull my phone back out and go back to refreshing nothing.

Let's say we build LLMs that can self train and gain _experience_. Will those LLMs have the foresight to know when or HOW to unlearn experiences? Like we humans do? Would it even be possible to unravel those experiences in vector space? Is this what we do, just paper on more complex experiences?

If your customers wince every time they receive a bill from you then you're doing something wrong. This is a sign of an over-extracting business
You should always extract LESS value than you create. If not you won't stay in business for very long (w/o perverse network effects such as a monopoly).

Claude Code: I came up with a plan to refactor your 2500 line code file. Here's a four phase plan with each phase taking one week.
Me: let's just one shot it in 60 minutes

It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that culture is far wider, more expansive, and exponential than any one person’s purview. The whole point of it is that you don’t know how people will use it. That’s the power. You can’t expect individuals to hold the context of an entire culture in one mind.

the problem with infinite boycott is it prevents normalization. so either we hold our judgement forever, punishing those who we disagree with (or who we hold tepid moral superiority over) and create a permanent buffer. or we give it a shot.
we've done a lot of the former.
