100% yes! There've been some other writers who've been doing parallel work around that in the last couple weeks. https://www.dbreunig.com/2025/06/10/let-the-model-write-the-... is an example. You ca

thank you so much!! Because medium is such a squirrely interface I find myself writing in markdown in vscode then copying and pasting sections across. If I make an edit after I've stared inserting images and embedding the gists it gets

I'll admit that it's a little shoehorned in at the end :) ... but you know how editors are with writing the headline for clicks against the wishes of the journalist writing the article. You'll always see Journos sayign stuff

I can't republish anything that happens in a production/proprietary environment. One of the things that I think is pretty great about being able to share these particular prompts is that you can run this on one of your own repos t

Hey Folks! Alex here :) I appreciate that this is long. You may have hopped on with your morning coffee, hoping to take in a few memes and hot takes before getting to work for the day. Then this monstrosity shows up. Based on my beta reader

Wait - does everyone here think they're talking about AI? Or is it bitcoin / crypto / NFTs?

As much as I appreciate the sentiment, it is starting to look like bad things happen to OTHER people when the extremely powerful get disconnected from reality. I feel like Marc Andreessen falls into the "bad things will happen to othe

the mouseover tile expansion is way too big. if I like to hover my mouse over the thing I'm looking at as I scan the display, the expansion is so big that I can't see the next item to the right making the list painfully un-scanna

Good news! We don't have to go through the effort of debunking this again over here since Reddit's already had the discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/comments/v8ran7/th...

I'd also add that the optimizing the timeline for engagement (including negative engagement & arguments) wound up making me quit the platform entirely. There were no positive interactions, just deeply unpleasant arguments with peop

I don't think the article indicates that storage isn't getting cheaper. Equally possible is that amazon's S3 margins are getting better. For companies like Facebook and YouTube it is possible that they're not affected in

Ok, but the author's method was likely a raise of ~$500 to $600k in 3 months. It may be true that doing all this stuff the long way IS better, but there's no way it is more efficient.

I spent a decade toiling along in the range of ~$65k to $118k CAD. The thing that opened my eyes to the fact that 4x and 5x salaries are possible was people posting honest descriptions of their salaries and places like levels.fyi. I am incr

Those are incredibly good points. If you look at the levels.fyi data I think this pattern applies really well to the people within the bottom half of the graph. There's ALWAYS the option of trying to go from "No Name" -> &

I've heard of that being done. It's actually the thing that inspired me to write the note in the first place. I didn't have time to take on the overhead of setting up a cool site / form to go with the response, but I cou

That's baked into the assumption of the script though. If your response is a copy and paste, who cares about the ones that ghost you after one message? Doesn't matter because the cost of interaction was quite low. If they send th

I'd love to see your version of the same thing. The exact response isn't really as important as writing something that is authentic and in "your voice" You're probably right that a different response would work wel

You make a good point. This advice is strongly weighted towards people who still have multiple salary doublings left in their career ladder. At each step up the career ladder, you can afford to be more and more selective around what you&#

I like to think of it as spamming the spammers! The marginal cost of extra words in a "select all -> copy -> paste" is pretty low so I think it makes a lot of sense to be very clear and address any objections they might have

I did have that in there at one point. In my case I tend to either practice refining my script, or just thank them and walk away. It's in the autoresponse "without that data I'm unable to continue further discussions&quot
