    Yep, have been using this for a long time now. No idea why everyone doesn’t.

    I don't want to turn this into an, oh look at mine. It's just always been very behind the curve. I don't think you should use anyone's honestly. You should create your own shell ba…

    That's funny, cause I'd argue superpowers barely does anything, and you need a much more complex setup to gain value.

    Very interesting story. I come from a different direction. I work in tech, and was onsite somewhere for over a month with nothing to do. Remote area. I had always loved magic, and …

    Yeah, I also cannot get a perfect faro consistently enough. I can consistently get 51 cards correct every time. It’s actually amazing how I am off by one every single one. That’s a…

    I never did it for money. I did it for free. My joy was in their joy. My job was to heighten their experience, and to essentially act as a mini therapist enabling them to feel conf…

    The interesting thing is, the cheating in mtg has always been so, ridiculously bad. If anyone actually cared, and really learned the moves, it would be imperceptible, even on camer…

    One of the things is, I do magic, and used to do tarot. I found the tarot readings were infinitely better to the person getting the reading when I just forced the results. So I did…

    not a lot of magic tricks. quite few actually. and it's interesting that it ruins the trick for you, because it's still a quite hard maneuver. as a magician, I'm always still impre…

    This is why I Blind A/B test everything. I burn a ton of tokens, but things actually have to prove their value. And the vast majority of things do not come close to doing so. I hav…

    Thought I would share, started on it 6 days ago. About 8,500 people booked 38,000 shows and minted 26,000+ share cards on 5 Star Booker. Having a lot of fun creating it.

    I have had dynamic workflows in my agent for the past 9 months. I am diffing Claude Code with them, I tend to agree with the analysis. So far, versus my system, there are tradeoffs…

    I really do run a/b tests. I really do test, and validate. I do not believe me giving you that information is honest. If I do, I am pretending that you will get the same experience…

    Yeah, I think we're in a phase honestly where you shouldn't use anyone elses skills, and you should instead point your stuff at a repo with skills, have it really read it, and then…

    I run a lot of a/b testing. But I'm not sure showing it actually communicates all that much. Since these are non deterministic systems, even showing you an a/b test from when i mad…
