WSL ’26 (Walmart Sport Legue) kicked off at Walmart Chennai Center! 🏆 This is our 6th year of Walmart Sports League, and I’m excited to see two months of games, events, cheering, and team spirit come alive. At Walmart, there’s a lot we do beyond Software Development. WSL is one of those moments where people from different teams, roles, and experiences come together - sometimes meeting for the first time - and still play, support, and celebrate as one team. I’m grateful I got the opportunity to launch this year’s sports league at Chennai Center. It reminded me that culture is built not just in meetings or projects, but also on the field, from the sidelines, and in the small moments where we show up for each other. Looking forward to an amazing season ahead. Let the games begin! 🎉 #Walmart #WSL2026 #ChennaiCenter #LifeAtWalmart #Teamwork #Culture

Claude Code has 118 commands.

Haiku for speed. ✦ /goal - Set the finish line before Claude starts - Claude works until the condition is met ✦ /rewind - Undo when Claude goes off track - Or hit Esc twice for the rewind menu ✦ /agents - Create and manage sub-agents - Split big tasks across parallel workers ✦ /workflows - Claude splits the job across a team of agents - Watch, pause and steer mid-run ✦ /effort - One dial for thinking depth - Low for speed. Max for hard problems. ✦ /simplify - Three agents review your code in parallel - Catches architecture issues and duplicates ✦ /permissions - Pre-allow safe commands instead of bypass ✦ Shift+Tab - Cycles default, accept edits, plan and auto mode ✦ "ultracode" - One keyword.

Stanford just dropped their CS336 lecture on building LLMs from scratch. Percy Liang and Tatsu Hashimoto walk through the full stack. The lecture covers: → Pretraining: language modeling, tokenization, cross-entropy loss → Post-training: SFT and RLHF to go from GPT-3 to ChatGPT → Why alignment is "artisanal" and messy in practice 💾 Bookmark this if you're building models, not just using them

An anthem is more than a song. It’s something people feel, carry with them and make their own.   Walmart is a lot like an anthem.   The melody is our purpose: helping people save money and live better.   The beat that keeps us in sync are our values.   And our people who make a difference for customers and members around the world are the chorus (the part we come back to time and time again).   Every day, 2.1 million associates around the world help write the next verse of our anthem as they serve customers, solve problems, support one another and bring new ideas to life.   One melody. One beat. One chorus. Millions of verses.   That was my message to associates this week during Associates Week. Together, we are leading the future of Walmart.   Thank you to all who joined us, brought your energy and will carry it back to your teams. Don't stop believing... that you can make a difference that matters.
