A colleague who was a teacher for 30 years once told me something I have never forgotten: "Back when I started teaching, if a student got a bad grade, the parents/school would say to the student 'why didn't you work hard enough?' Today however, when a kid gets a bad grade, the parents/school now say that same thing to the teacher."

Minimally guided instruction doesn't work with AI tutors either. One thing we are finding out is that Socratic questioning models are very frustrating for students when they withhold the explicit guidance novice learners actually need.

My Pokémon x Balatro game is now open-source!
Code: github.com/achimala/pocket-a…
Play: pocket-aces.anshu.dev
Here's my attempt to do this in a legal, respectful way, while letting people do what they want:
- Renamed to Pocket Aces, which I don't believe conflicts with anything
- All Pokémon IP is replaced with original IP, but…
- …the IP is modular and swappable, so if you REALLY want Pokémon IP, you can install it from the PokeAPI repo (no affiliation). The Pocket Aces repo has more info on this. Proceed at your own risk.
IP changes are cosmetic, and don't affect gameplay.
Addressing common responses:
- Grok Bot read every reply, extracted all the bug reports and issues, and Claude fixed them all. It works on mobile now, and has options for reduced motion. Let me know if more things are broken!
- This was a silly demo I hadn't intended to maintain, but if y'all wanna keep playing it, I'm happy to throw agents at bugs or feature requests
- Yes, I know, it's AI slop, it's not as good as all the other fan projects, I know, I know. I didn't say it was perfect. It's a one-shot demo that I thought was cool. I'm glad many people tried it and had fun. I don't intend to put it on Steam or try to profit from it.

Me: “What are paint colors for?”
Daughter: “My school sends us a survey to ask if we have any suggestions to make it better. I said I wish we had a quiet area for testing, and recommended a quiet booth.”
Me: “So they’re having someone build a quiet booth?”
Daughter: “No, they gave us wood and tools and said they’d help us. It took a while to finish framing it and the walls, they had a handyman do the door though. We still need to finish the roof, interior, and paint.”

I'm hiring 3 more people for my team at @alpha_founders.
These are insanely cool roles so please send them to people who'd love them:
1. PKM App Product Manager
Have you rebuilt your second brain three times and memorized half of what @fortelabs says?
We're hiring a PM to own our Expertise App, a PKM tool that teaches high schoolers to become real experts in their domain.
2. Followers App Product Manager
If you've studied Justin Welsh, Ship 30, and David Perell and know exactly why one post takes off and another dies, this one's for you.
We're hiring a PM to own the Followers App, the tool our teenage founders use to build massive audiences.
3. Copywriter (Student Stories)
A 15-year-old just landed their first paying customer and another got off the phone with a Fortune 10 CEO.
That's a normal week at Founders School.
We're hiring a copywriter to turn our students' wins and setbacks into social posts people actually stop scrolling for.
Find them all HERE: founders.school/jobs
