What claude skills are you all using?

My company just got access to Cluade. I'm looking to deck my profile out with skills. What have you built / used that you have found to be the most valuable?

EDIT: Great to see a lot of discussion about using Claude generally, happy for that to continue, but flagging that I was specifically asking about Claude Skills. Skills are custom instruction sets you define for Claude to do certain repeated tasks. So for example, you might have a skill that runs market research, or drafts a BD memo, etc.

Need exit advice - choosing between late-stage tech startup and private equity post-acquisition strategy

Hi all, I've been doing since I graduated undergrad. I'm just about to exit - I have two offers and I was hoping to get some advice or insight. My options:

  • One is an offer to do strategy for acquired companies at a smaller but well known PE firm. I'd be doing mostly strategy but also some ops work to help restructure and improve newly acquired companies.
  • The other is ops and strategy role at a ~small- mid-size, late-stage AI startup. I'd initially have a lot of process work I've been told I would then pivot into more of a 'do-everything' role including both strategy and ops.

They are both great offers and I don't know what to pick. Some factors:

  • PE firm: I'm very confident I'd do well, and the work is very transferable into other corporate roles, can give eventual exposure to portfolio leadership and M&A work. It's also got a well-defined career path and is a well known name.

  • The AI startup: I am really interested in tech and would like to work in the field (I have a reasonably technical background). I also think the product is really interesting. I can tell the team is really smart and high-performing, real world-class people. But I'm not as certain I'd do well on the job - I'm less familiar with the type of work, and I'm concerned it would be a ton of process work and that I would it not engaging while also looking worse on my resume and being less transferable.

Comp is slightly higher at the AI startup, but both are competitive. Similar WLB at both, both in my home city (West Coast)

I honestly don't know what to think. I really love the idea of working at a tech startup, it's been my big career goal. I'd hate to pass up a great offer to do that, but I also need to make sure It's the right fit and career move.

Posting here for advice - any thoughts or insights are appreciated!

Ive had two portable AC units and now both have overflown and flooded my floor. How do I avoid this?

Hi all,

As stated I've had two portable AC units in the last 3 years (both bought used) and both have at different times, overflown and flooded my place. I'm getting kind of tired of this. How do I avoid this? Is this solved in new units? I would be happy to spend money to buy a new unit if I could be confident that it wouldn't flood my place again.

Before anyone says anything, I rent and cannot use an in-window unit.

Please let me know what you think!
