![Trading Algorithms + Claude MYTHos [Friday Wrap-Up]](https://img.transistorcdn.com/xzW_tAn_6WaoDLEqnCSrsVQXfcSX-AnanEdBYQgFK00/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:800/h:800/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kN2Y4/MTliMzViYzc0ZTAw/NmViNTU5MzY1Y2Ix/ZmExNy5wbmc.webp)
This week I've been deep in my SEO and content strategy, and it got me thinking: am I just trading one algorithm for another? I left social media to stop chasing feeds, but now I'm optimizing for Google, YouTube, and even AI search. Here's where I landed.
Also: Cal Newport's take on Claude Mythos (spoiler: no, it's not terrifying), Ryan Holiday's Discipline is Destiny and what it has to say to solopreneurs, and a behind-the-scenes Architectural Digest video about the Scrubs revival that made me think hard about where it's actually worth spending your time.
On My Mind
Are we beholden to algorithms no matter what we do?
