Recently I came across the /handoff skill, which I've been using a lot. I find it much better than /compact.

Basically:

- /handoff file creates a short document with the important context from your current session and maybe next steps as checklist.

- You can then start a fresh session with /continue file

- You can also hand the work from Claude to ChatGPT, or the other way around. Very useful at time of session limits.

- Plus your handoff files becomes a useful piece of project memory that you can reference later.

I find this much more useful than /compact or /clear because the context is saved in something portable instead of being tied to one session and i've seen better results doing this every 20 messages or so than running long sessions.

One trick that makes me sleepy really fast: After I close my eyes, I imagine someone throwing black paint on them. The first coat is kinda gray and has lots of blob and not fully black. Then another coat. And another. Each one gets darker until it's just pure black and I'm usually asleep by then.

For some reason, my brain follows it, and I fall asleep much faster. It works way better for me than box breathing or most other sleep tricks I've seen. Sharing in case someone else finds this useful.

I think that is sale pricing at 75% discount till end of May only.

Oh you're right to push back. I just love saying this nowadays :P Anyway, I haven't used these languages in a long time but the code looked like php to me, though I did notice the .pm file extension and wondered where I've seen it before.

Everytime I read one of these it always boils down to the same thing..Don't solve solved problems. And the best code in this case is code you didn't write as PHP's session handler is battle-tested but every line you write to roll your own is a line you have to secure, maintain, and eventually patch at 2am when someone finds the bug.

Session handling, auth, crypto, password hashing etc - all these are the exact areas where you should be the most allergic to rolling your own. Not because you're not smart enough, but because a simple bug like sanitizing in the wrong place and the failure is catastrophic like in this instance.

Use boring, proven, widely-audited solutions. Save your creativity for the actual problem you're solving.

This works amazing well. I started playing and just 5 minutes in, I was completely hooked and ended up playing for almost half hour.

It could be that I'm a bit old-school, but this really seemed to confirm that ready to play fun gameplay trumps realistic graphics any day!
