Is this just a karma farm from a previous highly rated post / concept.
Seems like they just pasted the original grug article into gpt and said rewrite this but about design.
exactly, turned me off. I don't particularly like the "design" either which is ironic.

This feels like the grown-up ideological successor to the International Space Settlement Design Competition for high school students. That was (is? anyone still in the know?) a competition that ran for years out of NASA Houston as a pet project of some engineers and contractors who wanted to engage and cultivate the next generation of aerospace minds.
Teams would submit proposals for the design of a permanent space settlement (sometimes on the surface of a body, sometimes orbiting). Winners from across the world were invited to compete together live in 4 huge multi-national teams to design and pitch another settlement over a long sleepless weekend. As a two-time finalist, I can say it was an incredible experience for so many reasons.
This new competition seems like its goal is to actually take the design/ideation of working professionals as a serious output, as opposed to the educational value of simulating this sort of thing for students, which is what drove the ISSDC.
It was indeed incredible. Battled out in a pan Asia round, won it, and got invited to the ISSDC at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Felt so fortunate learning from engineers at Boeing and NASA. Incredible experience for a 15yo kid from India.
Coincidentally, it has been exactly 10 years since and my photos app resurfaced some of the memories. Good times.
I was waiting for more subscription base services to pop up to compete with the influence provider on a commodities level.
I think a lot more companies will follow suit and the competition will make pricing much better for the end user.
congrats on the launch Cerebras team!

Other examples: Baruch Spinoza, lensmaker by day, philosopher by night. Philip Glass: moving man, plumber, cab driver, and avant-garde composer. E. E. "Doc" Smith: food engineer and science fiction writer. Franz Kafka: administrator in an insurance company, and writer of history's weirdest books. Wallace Stevens: insurance company executive and poet. William Carlos Williams: doctor and poet. And these are just off the top of my head.
This is messing with my head. I love Spinoza and Kafka and couldn't imagine them as anything else but being full-time thinkers and writers.

Using Claude Code lately in a project, and I wish my instance could talk to the other developers’ instances to coordinate
I know that we can modify CLAUDE.md and maintain that as well as docs. But it would be awesome if CC had something built in for teams to collaborate more effectively
Suggestions are welcomed
I'm building something in this space: share context across your team across Cursor/Claude Code/Windsurf since it's an MCP.
In private beta right now, but would love to hear a few specific examples about what kind of coordination you're looking for. Email hi [at] nmn.gl

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the article. Nice writing style.
I found myself wishing to read more about your story of running over the bridge!
Thank you so much for your kind words, made my day :)
Great idea for another write up -- it was an extremely difficult 4mi run, worsened by gasoline exhausts and the slight slope of the bridge.
