@brentsimmons Collect everything you explain into markdown files, commit to the repository. Then it saves it for the machine, and also serves as documentation for people. There's a silver lining here.

@brentsimmons with claude code, you just load a folder up with your source code and it's ready to work on it. i've tried it out with a simple app and it works as advertised.

@brentsimmons You're not teaching a person — so you don't get the satisfaction of helping a person grow (profound); and there isn't a person getting better (more satisfaction themselves, better able to provide for their families, not growing as a teacher who can then teach others).

@brentsimmons that feeling when you catch yourself carefully explaining a concept like you would to someone you’re mentoring, and realize you are talking to … nothing.

@brentsimmons Instead of writing in the box to nowhere, write in the box that posts to your blog. Then, you’ll be teaching the world.

@brentsimmons Classic Socratic(?) questions are: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

@brentsimmons yeah it took me a moment to remember that there is no point in teaching an LLM anything or in convincing it that I'm right. Getting the answer is all that matters

@brentsimmons if you end your session with the question “what learnings from this session can we add to agent.md?” it won’t forget :)
