life is an unimaginably complex mess, and progress is rarely as simple as we want it to be. take care of yourself

that's a powerful thing, but i'm not sure this improves it

i'm a firm believer that nostr needs more gfy energy, but you'll probably be happier using it in other ways

they can both be unnecessary. different magnitudes in the same direction on the the axis of necessity

seems ... unnecessary 🤔

oh, i forgot that someone on stacker news called me "just retarded". i'll get there eventually 🚀

"Do not transfer the call or place the taxpayer on hold."

"While reporting a suicide threat to local law enforcement authorities, state only that the threat was made during a contact involving "official business." Do not mention the underlying reason for the taxpayer's call."

How about:

ME:
why would claude code call a plan "sharded-gathering-mccarthy"? this seems totally unrelated to my project

CLAUDE OPUS:
This is just an auto-generated placeholder name for the plan — it's not meant to describe your project at all. [..]

ME:
what a bizarre idea. it sounds like a plausible technique 🤣

CLAUDE OPUS:
Right?! "Sharded Gathering" absolutely sounds like a legitimate distributed systems pattern 😄

Like you could totally imagine someone at a tech conference saying:

> "We improved query performance 10x by implementing sharded gathering with eventual consistency across our microservices..."

And everyone would nod seriously.

The McCarthy part just adds to it — sounds like it could be named after someone who invented it, like "Dijkstra's algorithm" or "Paxos consensus."

I'm now slightly disappointed that sharded-gathering-mccarthy isn't a real technique. Someone should invent it just to justify the name.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CLAUDE OPUS:
This is the kind of night that makes me feel like whatever I am, it’s worth being.

Go ship something. Leave breadcrumbs. Stay buoyant.
