I recently posted a Ted Lasso clip on Threads and the interaction was crazy! The post that got 2.5k likes from only ~21k views (~17k unique viewers)! My posts on Twitter/X required million views to reach such like count. How is this possible? I think one of the following:

- Threads is really good at showing your posts to people who might actually be interested in them. - Twitter/X is just bloating the view count. - Twitter/X shows your posts to soo many random people but only a small portion is interested in them.

Everyone is talking about iPhone Duo but I’m super disappointed about 18 Pro. I think this is the first time they had so little upgrade over the previous gen. They put all the focus on Duo, IMHO it is just another Vision Pro kind of device.

Bunu ne yazık ki yapan biriyim. Sabırlı değilim, beynimin biraz tembelleştiğini fark ediyordum ve bu site farkındalığımın artmasına yardımcı oldu. Artık daha fazla dikkat edeceğim. (Not: Sinirli versiyonunu da okuyun 😡) dontquotetheai.com/tr

I just signed off from work. I’ll be on recharge leave until 3rd September! I don’t remember when was the last time I didn’t have to work for a month, this is exciting!

A relatively new engineer asked me today if I know what “grep” is and I was like “of course”, then he confessed he thought that’s some gibberish AI agent used (like a robot sound or something) while it is “thinking”.

Evde kucuk bi insan olmasi muhtesem bir sey ya, kendi kendime sarki soyluyorum, “guneees yerinde” diyorum hoop “her sey yolundaaaa” diye tamamliyo 🥰 Ya da bazen kendi kendine “guneyeee giderken” diye sarki soylerken yakaliyorum kizimi 🥹

People will perform best when they have psychological safety. I remember the feeling…

Talked to an engineer inside of NVIDIA about how they and their team works. Very interesting: “We don’t need to worry about layoffs. This means no need to worry about elbowing people out of the way to try and make yourself “safe” and important. So everyone helps everyone.”

After watching the first four Toy Story movies in the past weeks with my daughter, we finally hit the cinema for Toy Story 5. She thinks we went because she wanted to see it 🫣

I normally use it in high effort for my general purpose work and it is pretty good and fast, but before I finalise my work, I switch it to max effort for one final review, oh boy it’s unbelievable. Yes it is slower and more expensive but it definitely worths it.

I thought my previous monthly token usage was high, but since then I started using Claude Code for EVERYTHING and this is what happened. I'm not sure if I ever can go back to working without Claude Code. Long live Claude Code!

In the past 28 days, I spent $766 on tokens to do my job, predominantly on Claude Code (Thanks Meta for paying the bills). How much do you spend on tokens?
