j finished reading this book. Amazing read. Anyone building a product or wanting to build one should read it. It’s by @tfadell who invented the iPod and the iPhone
united has been on such a generational run lately. never loved a company more. the app is amazing, the wifi is amazing. generally i pay 10% extra if i get to fly them.
We already have @Starlink on more planes than any other airline in the world, which means nearly half of our daily U.S. departures have it. And it's free for MileagePlus members. Use our new our tracker to see if your next flight has Starlink *and* follow along to watch our progress as we turbocharge getting these installations done by the end of 2027: StarlinkTracker.United.com
(This would be a good time to let the non-United flyers in your orbit know we've extended our status match offer: united.com/switchtobetterwif…)

A NASA helicopter uses what he built, and so do every computer and phone in the world.

the latest @ClaudeDevs projects thing is genuinely terrible. the setup is bad. none of my claude.md stuff or skills carried over, the threads go rogue very often. never felt this negative about an anthropic feature before.
hosting an exclusive AMA with Daniel Stenberg, inventor of cURL - one of the most widely used open source technologies - this Saturday. rsvp now! luma.com/ovmbfrtu?tk=T8LDiL
TIL, Boris and I prompt Claude in the same way
I am surprised that people are surprised this is how I prompt Claude.
Talk to Claude the way you would a coworker. There's no secret to prompting. There's no need to be overly scaffolded or prescriptive for most tasks -- give Claude a goal, and it will figure it out.
Back in the Sonnet 3.5 days, your prompt mattered a lot. Nowadays, it's much more important to communicate to the model:
1. What you want it to do
2. How much effort you want it to spend
3. How it should verify that it did the right thing
j cancelled my @interaction sub. i subbed really early on (basically on launch day) but it became useless since I got instinct and grok @bot
stop missing events cuz you ignore notif banners. i built HeadsUp - it takes over your screen to give you notifs for upcoming events on your calendar.
free and open-source. all local.

ppl on tech twitter are concerned about people not knowing how to use AI. ik people who cant use outlook or zoom properly. we're in a bubble.
