AGAIN to the fking untrained eye, he's a mess, but if you know, you know that, its not easy to do that. an absolute legend imo. i still think about that for a reason. + +the reason i recognized what that was, was bc in undergrad, when i was in the algae lab as a bioinformaticist, i was working on that small RNA-seq paper, LOL i had accrued the technical leverage to do things like that, walk in whenever i wanted and/or wear bright pink sweatpants that said "victorias secret" (remember i was paid $13/hr) and no one could say anything bc that paper needed to be finished asap by the non-technical post-doc i was working with. so i get it. i get what that was. so i think it's great that AI tools like claude are democratizing building tools with code for everyone, but the downside is that ... this ... accruing technical leverage -> to do whatever u want at work, is under attack. and i dont like that, so much so, bc that is what motivates me to be better than AI -> so i can accrue technical leverage @ work and no one can say anything to me. thats the point, thats the goal.
