You lot were supposed to cut down the haze, not gas exports.

We’ve started doing this for a while and this additionally helps the AI model self-verify at the same time when it sees the video.
Modern AI models are pretty good on their own to handle multiple repos at a time, run /code-review and open the appropriate PRs.
Most of my user stories now involve cross-repo work.
Replying to @thdxr
I’m curious how you handle cross-repo changes now. That always felt like the biggest advantage of monorepos for agents. One codebase, one PR.
By the 2nd or 3rd generation, most of the wealth accumulated by the Aw family, who founded Tiger Balm, was squandered.
Not just PHP. Node.js has also announced security releases for October 21, with HIGH-severity vulnerabilities affecting its 26.x, 24.x and 22.x release lines.
If you run either stack in production, keep an eye on official advisories and apply patches promptly.
Security maintenance doesn't stop at your application code. Your runtime matters too.

An interesting cultural introduction I had when working in one of the game studios in Japan was seeing how “god-like” game directors are.
One example was seeing how one shot back at a group CEO (in an email with many CCed), telling him to stop meddling in his game, after the CEO provided feedback.
Attempting Everest without oxygen while still having a kid is irresponsible behaviour, especially with both parents doing it.
On May 24, 1998, nearly 27,000 feet above sea level, two climbers discovered a woman lying motionless against the frozen slopes of Mount Everest. Her face was pale, her hands severely frostbitten, and her body barely responded to the bitter cold. At first, they thought she was dead.
Then she moved.
As British climber Ian Woodall approached, the woman opened her eyes and whispered words he would never forget.
“Please, don’t leave me.”
Her name was Francys Arsentiev.
She was forty years old.
And just two days earlier, she had achieved one of mountaineering’s most extraordinary accomplishments.
She had become the first American woman to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen.
But now, she was dying on the mountain she had dreamed of conquering.
Francys was born in Hawaii in 1958 and grew up in Colorado.
Her father introduced her to mountaineering when she was young, inspiring a fascination that would shape her life.
She studied business, earned a master’s degree, and worked as an accountant.
Then she met Sergei Arsentiev.
Sergei was an accomplished Russian mountaineer known as the Snow Leopard, a title earned by climbing the highest peaks of the former Soviet Union.
They shared an intense love of mountains.
In 1992, they married.
Together, they climbed challenging peaks, including Denali and Mount Elbrus.
Francys became the first American woman to ski down Elbrus.
But one ambition remained.
Everest.
She wanted to reach its summit without bottled oxygen.
It was an extraordinarily dangerous goal.
Above 26,000 feet lies the region climbers call the death zone.
There, the atmosphere contains so little oxygen that the human body begins deteriorating.
Thinking becomes difficult.
Movement becomes exhausting.
And even simple decisions can become fatal.
In May 1998, Francys and Sergei began their final ascent from Everest’s northern side.
They traveled without Sherpa assistance, a support team, or supplemental oxygen.
After two unsuccessful summit attempts, they tried again on May 22.
This time, they succeeded.
Francys stood on the world’s highest mountain.
Her dream had become reality.
But reaching the summit was only half the journey.
And they had arrived dangerously late.
As darkness approached, the exhausted couple struggled to descend.
They were forced to spend another night high on the mountain, exposed to temperatures around minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Somewhere in the darkness, they became separated.
Sergei eventually reached their high camp.
Francys did not.
He waited.
But when she failed to appear, he made a desperate decision.
He gathered oxygen and medicine and climbed back toward the summit to find his wife.
He knew the danger.
He went anyway.
It was the last time anyone saw him alive.
Meanwhile, an Uzbek climbing team discovered Francys struggling near 27,000 feet.
She was barely able to stand.
Her face and hands were frozen.
She was exhausted, confused, and dangerously weak.
The climbers tried to help.
They gave her oxygen.
Attempted to warm her limbs.
And struggled to move her downhill.
But carrying another person at that altitude requires strength the human body can barely produce.
Their oxygen supplies were running low.
Eventually, they faced an unbearable decision.
Remain and risk dying beside her.
Or descend while they still could.
They left Francys secured to the climbing rope.
On their descent, they encountered Sergei heading upward.
He was searching for his wife.
The following morning, Ian Woodall and Cathy O’Dowd found Francys still alive.
Sergei’s equipment lay nearby.
He had apparently reached her, but something had gone terribly wrong.
Woodall and O’Dowd abandoned their summit attempt immediately.
For more than an hour, they tried to save her.
They offered oxygen.
Spoke reassuringly.
And attempted to lift her from the snow.
But Francys was almost completely helpless.
Her body seemed frozen into the mountain itself.
She begged them not to leave.
“Please, don’t leave me alone.”
Those words pierced through the cold.
They wanted desperately to rescue her.
But their own oxygen was disappearing.
They could not carry her.
And remaining much longer would likely kill them too.
Eventually, they had to walk away.
Francys Arsentiev died on Everest, alone in the snow.
She had reached the summit without oxygen.
But she never returned home.
In 1999, climber Jake Norton discovered Sergei’s body lower on the mountain.
He had fallen while attempting to rescue his wife.
Their eleven-year-old son, Paul, was left without either parent.
For nine years, Francys remained visible beside Everest’s climbing route.
The freezing temperatures preserved her body.
Climbers passing through began calling her Sleeping Beauty.
She became a haunting landmark.
A reminder that reaching the summit means nothing if you cannot survive the descent.
But Ian Woodall never forgot the woman who had begged him to stay.
In 2007, he returned to Everest for a different mission.
Not to reach the summit.
But to restore her dignity.
He located Francys’s remains, wrapped her in an American flag, and moved her away from the main climbing route.
At last, she could rest beyond the gaze of passing climbers.
Everest has claimed hundreds of lives.
Many remain frozen where they fell.
But Francys Arsentiev’s story carries a particularly heartbreaking lesson.
She achieved her greatest dream.
Her husband sacrificed his life trying to bring her home.
And strangers risked their own survival attempting to save her.
Yet none of it could overcome the brutal conditions of the death zone.
The mountain offered no mercy.
Not for ambition.
Not for courage.
Not even for love.
And nearly three decades later, four simple words still capture the tragedy of the woman remembered as Sleeping Beauty.
“Please, don’t leave me.”
You should see this
there are so many variables to this:
1. Did you switch to a different harness which may not be as optimized as Claude Code's?
2. Which plugins have you installed recently, that's inadvartently eating up usage?
3. Your codebase is growing bigger, and you're probably having additional context bloat with your CLAUDE.md and referenced files. Optimize that.
4. You might not have realised that you're running a lot more threads and sessions that usual,
We are getting less from our Claude subs now (maybe).
I did almost twice the work from october 3 to 9, never hit any limits, now im at 96%.
This is what Claude's analysis showed, we might be getting up to 18% less from our plans.
As i mentioned already, this is just a possibility, maybe an issue on my side. but considering many people are reporting lower limits in last few days, something might be going on

Before you launch anything, have Opus 5.5 send 5 subagents in as your first users.
Paste this into Claude Code:
"Act as my launch QA lead. Spin up 5 subagents, each a different first-time user:
1. The impatient one: skims, clicks the first button, quits at the first error
2. The skeptic: reads pricing, terms and privacy before signing up
3. The mobile user: does everything on a 375px screen on slow 3G
4. The non-native English speaker: only follows what the UI literally says
5. The breaker: pastes junk into forms, hits back mid-flow, double-clicks everything
Each one opens the app in a real browser, goes from landing page to first success, and screenshots every moment they get confused, stuck or annoyed.
Merge everything into one list ranked by how many users hit it. Fix it all in one pass, then rerun the 5 users to prove it's fixed."
Your first 100 real users won't tell you why they left. these 5 will.
(Works best with a browser MCP connected, Playwright or Chrome DevTools)
If you're using @poteto's pstack, and not sure on the best setup, just tell it:
"Recommend me the best setup when I'm on the Claude Max 5x $100 plan, and I want to optimize token usage."
This will give you the best setup while using Fable sparingly.

Prompt of the day:
Create a pre-commit hook that prevents files over 5,000 tokens. Tokens = bytes/4.
Run only on staged files. Ignore files which are not authored by agents, like lockfiles or codegen.
Provide explicit instructions on how to split files in the error message.
The simplest investment I ever made in my codebase. So good.
