Systems and developer-tools engineer at Cloudflare as of 2026, on durable infrastructure for AI agents; worked on React and PartyKit before that. Writes at sunilpai.dev.
overwhelmed by the response to this, I knew it was common but didn’t realise how badly people needed to see it acknowledged. fwiw, I learnt this most deeply on the react team; I joined what I thought was my dream job, and immediately failed in this fashion, leaving in a year. Quoting @threepointone new post: the senior engineer death spiral https://t.co/xzgU1jVBRh a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

One time, when I was much younger and less responsible, I was arguing with someone online. I checked Wikipedia, realized I was wrong, edited the article to change “is” to “is not,” and then sent the link. (And then fixed it a few minutes later.) So, relatable. Related

Mathematical physicist at UC Riverside. Wrote This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics and now the Azimuth blog on mathematics, physics and environmental science.
News flash: OpenAI claims formal proof that Navier-Stokes solutions can blow up. They used 10,000 agents simultaneously, who sent 2.7 million messages and used ~130 billion output tokens. They will not claim the $1,000,000 Millennium Prize for this result. This prize is not going as expected. The first winner refused to take it, saying the math establishment is corrupt. The second possible winner is a team of 10,000 AIs whose human masters turned down the prize. 😆 https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ (1/2) OpenAI Related

Their words
Happier couples tend to give each other the benefit of the doubt. Rather than assuming "My partner doesn't care," they're more likely to consider that the other is tired, distracted, overwhelmed or simply unaware of the impact of their behavior.

I sent my Grok @Bot to hunt down an out-of-stock book! It couldn't find any in stock, and the only copy left was way too expensive. But since it has access to my Gmail, it just started emailing publishers and bookstores itself. They're all Turkish, so it wrote the emails in Turkish. I would spent hours on this previously, now it's minutes. Let's see how it ends up :) Related

It's now the second blog post in a day sent over by an early-stage VC-startup I tried to read, but could NOT, after a few sentences. Verbose, weird... AI-generated.

Someone just sent this to me. I remember first seeing it back then in…an official WWDC QuickTime movie from Apple, distributed on optical discs, maybe? Anyway, can you imagine today’s Apple even keeping a moment like this in an “official” video? (Apple did keep @marcoarment’s bell in that one WWDC video, but that was a minor miracle.) youtube.com

Their words
the tool is used when you are overwhelmed with too many options. You've said yes to too many things, and you need to raise the bar all the way up so that almost everything doesn't pass the bar. It's a tool for a certain situation so I rarely use it. I would not call it a approach to life that everyone should use all the time.

Their words
A friend of mine sent me Christopher Rufo's book, America's Cultural Revolution, which is sort of a sociological study of the origins of the DEI movement and critical race theory. I found it actually one of the more important books I've read and also I found it quite concerning. Ultimately, DEI comes out of a kind of Marxist socialist way to look at the world.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
