Agreed!

Especially getting them to generate sequence / flow charts I find is a hack to figure out how everything fits together well.

Claude code is fantastic at quickly tracing through code and building visualisations of how code works together

It's far easier to read diagrams then it is to read code.

To get a good mental model, I'll often get an LLM to generate a few mermaid diagrams to help create a mental model of how everything pieces together

it does though, the same way that an llm can trace imports / dependencies through any coding language.

``` If adding tests, read @./TESTING_INSTRUCTIONS.md

```

It's really supposed to supplement README.md, but targeting an agentic coding loop.

E.g. "Before each commit, do X and Y to validate the changes."

With AGENTS.md you have more flexibility to do something like

``` // AGENTS.md

If implementing a new service, first read @./SERVICE_SETUP.md

If writing tests, first read @./TESTING_SETUP.md

```

Or whatever else might make sense for your project.

My fave I remember seeing years ago was one where a man - over some long period of time - managed to park in every single parking space of a supermarket.

I feel like this energy perfectly encapsulates what dull mans club is all about

I think that's fantastic. The dedication to such a trivial accomplishment!

I suppose it's no different to people that grind computer games to get 100% completion. A little dopamine hit each time that number edges up, followed by the satisfaction of having finally completed a long-sought goal.

Legendary.

Not really relevant, but this triggered a memory of being around 14 years old and getting scammed on Runescape which drove an evil character arch from me to somehow find out how to DDOS players in the duel arena and make absolute bank. I still feel a little guilty about my actions to this day. At the same time, I'm surprised that at 14 I was able to find and pay for a denial of service provider and figure out players IP addresses to intentionally disconnect them

what types of videos have made that have gone viral?

See this is what surprises me. I would have thought voting for a more regular market with higher taxes to the elite would be favourable to the majority non-tech workers, rather than the billionaires which play the puppeteers to trump

Not a single penny of that "extra tax money from tech workers" would go to the average Joe. That's the problem. It would go straight for the lowest classes or overseas.

I would hope you realize that the average joe is a member of the lowest classes; but yes, neaeshoring certainly would’ve continued under Harris.

I just bought a 32 inch monitor and can't stand it.

27 inch is the sweet spot for me. The further through my career the more i've effective with smaller screen space and I am.

I actually prefer working on my 16 mbp nowadays.

I got a 4k 32" IPS monitor years ago and was never really happy with it for similar reasons. Scaling never felt right, 2x is like basically using 1080p and fractional never looked good or had issues (in linux). Now I have a giant curved samsung display which is like two 1440p monitors side by side. There is a new version that is like two 27" 4k monitors side by side and I am just worried I would have the same issue I had before... I kind like being able to see my pixels :)
