After shoulder surgery, I was sent to a physical therapist.

In forty minutes, he showed me a dozen exercises: what to pull, how to hold it, what to move. I nodded carefully and pretended to understand everything.

Then I was given a sheet of exercises and went home. At home, it turned out that I had understood nothing and forgotten the rest.

The sheet said things like “move the shoulder blade back and down”, “rotate the lower angle up and out”, and “do not flare the ribs”. Each word made sense on its own. Together, they were nonsense.

Fortunately, I am a programmer. So Claude Code got the sheet. It found the sources and built a rotatable skeleton, step-by-step instructions, and an explanation of the tricky parts for every exercise.

I suspect rehabilitation handouts will look something like this in the near future: a live artifact with animated 3D skeletons like https://plecho.poke-method.work/en sources https://github.com/istarkov/pt

PS: It’s by no means a substitute for a real doctor, but it’s incredibly helpful for fully understanding what needs to be done and how to do it.

I've known and used SQL for 25 years; over the last year I haven’t written a single query by hand - AI is very good at it. I use SQL editors only to quickly see what I have there and to check the AI-generated query.

GPT-5 says that now its not. So while lampreys are technically fish under traditional definitions, modern evolutionary science places them as one of the most primitive branches of vertebrates—not part of the “true” jawed fish group.

While reading an article, I went to check how an eel differs from a lamprey - and I found out that a lamprey isn’t actually a fish

An article that's basically an ad for Datadog: Pay us a ton of money - it’s still cheaper in the long run.

Cloudflare results with worker as a reverse proxy can be much better.

Hi! In your benchmark, do you use a fixed number of iterations to stop the test, or do you apply a statistical criterion, such as the Student's t-test, to determine when to stop?
