We have two teams in different parts of the world, with 16 hours gap. Here are some tips we use so we don't burn out and die...
1. Set boundaries: Establish specific work hours and avoid overworking. Block sleeping hours. 2. Prioritize and plan: Focus on essential tasks and use productivity tools. 3. Communicate clearly: Share your availability and use collaborative tools for effective communication. We use google calendar and share internally. 4. Be flexible: Adjust your schedule to overlap with the other time zone when needed. Still have 3 meetings each week with two teams. 5. Take breaks: Rest and recharge throughout the day. An afternoon nap is so important!!! Please share your tips and tools here.
There is one global CLAUDE.md that every project follows, plus one per project. Works most of the time. Not always. After a long session the agent drifts and does exactly what the file says you are not to do.
So I put anything that must never happen into a hook. There are 62 of them at the moment that run before the command and just stop it.
They include things such as DROP, rm -rf, editing files directly on a production server or clicking into a password field on the browser. The permission list contains 71 allows and 25 denies on top of that.
I built a rule into a text generator: it may only quote numbers that actually changed since last time. Code computes the changes and hands the model a list, so it has nothing to invent from. I was proud of that rule.
Then I read the code that builds the list. A category went onto it whenever the grading call returned any grade for it, even when the score hadn t moved (100 to 100). The model was doing exactly what I told it: quoting a change that wasn t one. The rule was fine and my definition of changed was wrong.
A likely second cause: when a user taps a short preset answer, the prompt also carries a memory of earlier check-ins. A bare answer plus a lot of context invites the model to fill the gap with habits the user never mentioned, and my specificity rules ask for specific details.
What I m changing: compare the old and new score in code and only list categories that really moved, add prompt sentences that say a short answer means a short reply, and verify with a database comparison instead of reading the output. It s written, not shipped yet.

Hey Makers, Nithin and I started LaunchPedia on Jan 8th 2023 and it's been an year of roller coaster ride From literally making no money in the first 6 months and coming close to shutting down, to making $5000 from our digital products in the last 4 months. Here are the 9 lessons I learned from our journey: It's not wrong to pivot. It's better than giving up. Build multiple small bets, until you know what works Plan monetization whenever you're building a new product Build products that make money, especially when your savings are on line Don't overlook email marketing. Collect email addresses, build funnels and setup email sequences from day 1 Don t delay your launch. Ship fast, validate the idea, get feedback, and iterate. Leverage side project marketing. Build free tools and directory sites to increase your distribution and upsell your paid products. Validate the idea using short term distribution strategies. Ex: PH launch, listing on directories, & Ads. You don't need to build fancy products, you can also build info products as long as it is helping people.
Hey hunters! I wanted to ask you about any preferred news or blogs website, if any (preferably tech-startup-business related). Or do you prefer to just google the topic you want to read about and land on any website? Let me know!
I recently saw a letter from John Steinbeck to Marilyn Monroe (https://shorturl.at/ovIP0). Every word in the letter is like a fine wine. These days most stuff is getting generated. Could you share the best piece of generated content you have come across? Alternatively, I'm a sucker for handwritten letters so share links to real letters if you feel they are the best. If I like it, I'll compile and share it with the world, tagging you :)
