As much as people on HN like to dunk on Gemini, I’ve always found it to be pretty good at understanding a code base more than Claude.

Midway through the trip I was suspicious of the duration, traffic was fine. He was adamant he knew where he was going.

I pulled up google maps, and sure enough. 3 hours.

Tech culture preys on making you feel inferior if you aren't loaded with RSUs and equity, but so many of these people hoarding wealth are miserable in real life but will never admit it as it’s their identity they’ve built up. They buy Porsches or homes just to feel something, or have something to show people.

Money at some point has diminishing returns, and once you have enough to be whatever your version of secure is, you should stop before you can’t even enjoy happiness. Until then, enjoy the process and do not look to others as it’s the theft of your own happiness.

Don’t get me wrong, my friends are all making killer money…but they are also all out of therapy sessions, many are back on ADHD and SSRI meds, and the company seems to be full of egos and heavy handed mid management. I get the joy of meeting up with friends and their coworkers so I get to hear…a lot.

More to life than money!

Everyone I know at Anthropic is miserable. It’s not a fun place to work. There’s a reason you never see Anthropic employees talking online.

Hope this helps!
