My father's one of those people who get a headache unless they get their morning cup of tea. That is what deters me from caffeine.

I take a break from coding to browse HN, and, lo and behold, I'm greeted with some more Claude.

This is perfect! Thank you!

I once worked on a project where the goal was to improve the reliability of MS Teams. The skip level manager was not happy when we said we cannot estimate what the revenue gain would be because it can't be measured.

To imagine a big audience as just 1 person sounds cool, but when I imagine the talks I need to give to a bigger audience, I find it very daunting. I can only hope that I overcome it soon.

I've been talking to so many grandmas these days, and it's mostly them approaching me. It's usually something sweet and makes my day, but sometimes, it's heartbreaking to hear the troubles they've been dealing with alone because there's no family to rely on.

I think talking to the elderly is a great way to learn how society has shaped people's lives over many decades.

This reminded me of Ludwig and Michael's recent travels in China where they weren't using any maps or translators. It was a very fun watch.

I disagree here. A good researcher has to be a good communicator. I am not saying that it is necessarily the case that you don't understand the topic if you cannot explain it well enough to someone new, but it is essential to communicate to have a good exchange of ideas with others, and consequently, become a better researcher. This is one of the skills you learn in a PhD program.

Wait really? Was this only in Kashmir? I've had Element on my laptop for years.
