30 Seconds of Knowledge· new-tab extension

AI writes the code. You forget how it works. Every new tab, read one real code snippet and stay sharp — in 30 seconds or less.

// your brain is a muscle

Use it or lose it

# the symptoms

  • You autocomplete a function you couldn't write by hand.
  • You ship code you can't explain in review.
  • Tab → tab → tab - when did you last actually read code?

That's not productivity. That's atrophy.

# the fix

One real snippet. Every new tab.

30 Seconds of Knowledge is a browser extension that replaces your blank new tab with one real code snippet to read - a language feature, a framework pattern, an interview answer.

No course to finish, no streak to babysit. Just one small rep, every tab - the fundamentals stay in your head, not just in the autocomplete.
