‘Every Frame Perfect’
Nikita “Tonsky” Prokopov: The rule of thumb is: If I take a screenshot of your app at any moment, you should be able to explain what I see. Why care about every frame? It builds trust. Users can’t see the code, so UI is the only way for them to judge the quality of the app. If UI…

We’re taught that failure is the price of ambition, but psychologists studying explanatory style found that what happens after a setback depends partly on the story a person tells themselves about it: those who see failure as permanent and personal are more likely to become helpless, while those who treat it as temporary and specific are more likely to keep going.

Psychology suggests people who answer a casual text within seconds but take days to reply to an emotional one aren’t necessarily inconsistent or uncaring — low-stakes messages run on habit, while vulnerable ones demand empathy, reflection and the risk of saying the wrong thing
It is easy to read response time as character. Someone replies instantly to a meme, a logistics question, a restaurant link or a work aside. Then an emotional message arrives, and the same person goes quiet for two days. From the outside, that silence can look like indifference. …

Psychology says the gap between getting what you wanted and still wanting more is not necessarily a character flaw — it is hedonic adaptation, the brain’s tendency to turn yesterday’s achievement into today’s normal and quietly move the finish line again
There is a particular embarrassment that can arrive after success. A person gets the job, the promotion, the funding, the house, the public proof, the number they used to think would settle something. For a while it does. Then the mind absorbs it into ordinary life, and the next …

Claude Code sends 33k tokens before reading the prompt; OpenCode sends 7k
