GitHub - DrCatHicks/learning-opportunities: A Claude Code skill for deliberate skill development during AI-assisted coding A Claude Code skill for deliberate skill development during AI-assisted coding - DrCatHicks/learning-opportunities

The learning opportunities skill from @grimalkina.bsky.social is so good. Sooo helpful at my new job. For thoroughly understanding code before I modify it. Catching bugs others had missed because it helps me think through the code so thoroughly!

It’s my dream to covertly get a PR approved right before leaving a company that multiplies all CSS transition durations by 100.

Wrote some Rust today that validates your code against a TLA spec and I feel like I’ve discovered fire.

The entire bay area ought to look like a Chinese megacity. It should be the densest and highest population area of the country. There shouldn't be a building shorter than 10 stories within 15 miles of the Salesforce tower

TLA+ is so amazing because it lets me explore potential systems much faster than I could by writing actual code. Absolutely see why it’s invaluable when writing distributed systems, but it’s already valuable in simple client server systems. There are failure modes I never would have thought of!

Despite all the chaos in the news I’m starting a new job on Monday I’m very excited about!

A photograph of smoke rising over Tehran, Iran.

The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth.

We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.

2026 is 100% my year of TLA+.

Uh yeah boss I gotta spend the next 3 days sketching this idea out in my funky Math language which compiles to LaTeX and runs on the JVM before I can write any code.

Does this extend to containerization? Catch me scanning my face 10 times each morning to start my dev setup at work.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Was working on my TLA spec and accidentally proved God doesn’t exist. Am feeling a little shook, I keep double checking my theorems but I can’t find any flawed assumptions…

It’s insane how pretty much every system becomes dramatically simpler, and more performant, when you explicitly model it as a state machine.

Equally insane how hard it is to write these sorts of state machines correctly and easily in most mainstream programming languages.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
