My book "100 Truths You Will Learn Too Late" is currently on a -37% off promotion. The idea is that you buy the book this week and read a chapter a day for the first 3.5 months of 2022.
Below, excerpts of the first few pages (I'll post more tomorrow)
“Create a UserPromptSubmit hook (global settings). Script echoes: If 8+ tool calls, append one optimization hint (reusable skill, memory pattern, or workflow fix). One sentence. Skip if exploratory.”"
2) Skills audit
"Create a skill that lists all my installed skills (project & global level) with their line counts. Then ask the user which to review for improvement opportunities (conciseness, clarity, overlapping scopes, token efficiency).”
3) Claude audit
“Create a skill that reads all CLAUDE .md files and checks for: redundant instructions, verbose phrasing, and content that could move to memory. Present findings and ask if the user wants to implement them.”
Highlights from today’s Jeff Bezos’ talk in Turin 🇮🇹:
“Advice to young people: go work to a company where you can learn best practices”
I fully agree: it should also apply to politicians, educators, and other high-leverage roles.

“You can be an entrepreneur within a company; good companies don’t eject mavericks but empower them.”
I add: it’s so important to select a great first job and first boss; it’s sad it’s mostly left to chance, esp. comparing how much time is spent studying and how little interviewing.
