It takes a special kind of mind to appreciate this short post, not as fiction, but as truth and also as a jab at the physics sciences in general.
I understood and appreciated it, and I’m not special

Claude Code is pretty sick. I love the terminal integration, I like being able to stay on the keyboard and not have to switch UIs. It did a nice job learning my small Django codebase and helping me finish out a feature that I wasn't sure how to complete.

Only a little senior, if you're still working and not sitting in meetings all day - rungs remain

My first "software engineering" scale project was working on a existing massive 10 y.o js pub/sub and java templated webapp. Taught me why typed languages are valuable, why I should never listen to PMs, why I should be humble, why estimates are impossible but sort of important, and why long feedback loops anywhere in the entire process (including compilation) are productivity killers, along with not having an isolated private work area.

How is PTO an “indirect cost”, when salary is a direct cost? The company pays a salary to an employee, which includes time off. Is there a separate accounting rule for PTO that moves it to the indirect category?
Another option is to hire the employee as a contractor and let them deal with their own benefits and time off. What am I not understanding here?
What's a real sport?

Sheesh people here are so negative. This is really fucking cool in my opinion. Sports leagues are suffering from declining viewership; it’s great to see them take risks and actually produce content that’s, you know, fun.
