So I don't use stuff like Superpowers either - I think if it were actually that good, it would work it's way into the core product. But I do mod Claude Code to incorporate gotchas …

My company gives me 1k a month to burn on Claude. Any experiments have to be relevant to my work. I'm guessing it’s similar.

Companies always trade at a premium to book, so how would that work?

The snowclone is annoying, but comparisons are sometimes necessary. The problem here is the actual content is sloppy.

> Palestine isn't a country, it was once where Israel now sits, but hasn't been since the 40s. In the 40s, the British were ruling Palestine as a mandate, I wouldn’t really call th…

Just in case someone gets the wrong end of the stick, the UK isn’t getting rid of the House of Lords, just the hereditary members (of which there aren’t many).

The median home price in San Francisco is $1.5m. In London it's $893,000. These are not comparable places. San Francisco is much much more expensive, I'm not sure why that means Lo…

I spot checked some of this and from what I can find, the median salary in London is about $12k more than Mississippi, and the median house price in London is about $100k less than…

They'll version control the prompts because the requirements change.

The article is full of snow clones that I see in AI writing. Or as the AI would put it "that's style *without* authorship". The point is still valid, although I've seen it made man…
