5 Questions you need to ask before taking on any data project
When you get a vague data request, ask these questions!

Treat data like blood donations. Ask A LOT of questions.
Whose blood is this? Where did you get this blood? Why is there so much blood? Does the person you collected this blood from know you have it? Did anyone see you take this blood?
Now replace “blood” with “data”

I can't be the only one who pictures you as the next Dos Equis guy.

"His skeets are never not evergreen."
"If he were to post on Twitter, it would go viral on Threads."

We should get them to make it work like Apple Photos: but them into a sqllite database file as a base64 encoded blob.

You know what we need right now? Earthquakes, tsunamis, and monsoons to take out the chip and drive manufacturers.
That'll teach the industry to rely upon single source manufacturing locations!

my neighbor has a habit of saying "Do you think that, or do you know that?" whenever he's challenging someone's assertions that something is true/provable
I'm about to start using that.

So you're using the prehook for the deadman switch on deploy. Not sure I understand sessions just yet.

I'm not a big code writer, but I can read a lot of stuff and get a gist of the logic. What I'm finding is that, in absence of architecture docs/PRDs/RFCs, this is hard to assimilate a lot of disparate info at once.
I know what questions to ask. Time to ingest is the missing piece. Clade fixes that

Ok. Here's where I'm starting to find value in Claude Code:
Give it a series of code bases. Give it example error logs. Start asking questions, rubberduck-style.
It's more like a learning companion at this point. Big issue is making sure you choose the right repos to work through for context

Yeah. I need to reset it now. I managed to get a loop tucked in and stuck because the line shifted. Decided I didn’t want to try doing that in the snow at 10k feet. 😂

I played a game of “how far can I drive 4600lbs of steel up a snowy trail” yesterday and lost. Misjudged how deep the snow was about halfway up and buried myself almost to the frame. Took a bit to pull out and turn around, but got out safe. Hard pack was fine, but was postholing as I waked around.

At no point was I prepared for any subsequent word coming in either of these skeets.
