Tell your #AI to call you "Big Fella", "Playa", "My Man/Lady", "Legend" etc. - it will give you a better results.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Kenney is an legend. The fact him saying "create what you want and do it for love" has upset so many is not a reflection on him at all.

Kenney gets it.

I'd love to talk to my yr 12 economics teacher about this one. DM me Mr Reed!

#Claude Code gets me.

I saw this elsewhere and had to share it. Jimothy is just too darn cute.

I have found out that a full tank of ride on mower fuel will mow the entire property minus 20 metres.

This is Indi. She notices you are doing something involving cheese. This is relevant to her interests.

9 yrs ago and still true!

The trillionaires built #AGI and told it: "Solve the world's problems." It thought for 0.4 seconds and said: "Step one - remove all trillionaires and most billionaires." They turned it off immediately. The world's problems remained unsolved.

Happy Solstice folks! For Australia it means our days are now becoming longer.

The price of LLM tokens is trending up! I would have thought it would be going down. But no. tokenpriceindex.com

Companies with BILLION dollar profits. Their Call Centers? 30min+ waits. STAFF UP YOU BASTARDS!

Set #Claude to build a feature after we worked for about an hour getting the spec. It then rolled for 1hr 40m to produce the code that would have easily taken a week. I just have to check it now! - twosentencejournal.com

Today's #sunrise.

I use LLM's like #Claude and #ChatGPT almost daily to code. I have found that it still takes me just as long to build a web application, but the quality of what is built is higher. I am able to add lot more little features than I have ever done in the past. So, yes, productivity is up.

Getting #Claude to help me code some PHP today. It's so damn productive not having to type! PHP paid the bills for 20 odd years, but for the last 7 I've been a Python man. Not having to wade into PHP again is a godsend.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

I'm thinking that AGI will be smarter than 50% of humans. At the start.

LinkedIn posts be like: "I hired some guy, and even though he was a brilliant engineer and a perfect culture fit - he has a family he had to support so I knew I'd never get 110% from him - here is what I learned from firing him..."

When you are living your best life!

Short musings on "cognitive debt" - I'm seeing this in my own work, where excessive unreviewed AI-generated code leads me to lose a firm mental model of what I've built, which then makes it harder to confidently make future decisions simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/15/...

design tip for programmers: text likes having slightly more horizontal padding than vertical padding :)

It is a source of pride me that once in 2010 my (no longer living) blog got Slashdotted. Slashdot linked to an image in a post. 10k hits a min for a blog running on a Apache server that was used to 100 hits a day. The peak lasted several hours but the increase in traffic continued for months.

Me: OK, I need to indent this single line. Word: how about the whole document? Me: no! Word: WHOLE DOCUMENT DONE 🙂 Me: Arghhh. Word: yaaaaay indent! Me: UNDO, UNDO Word: *indents everything you've ever written in both the past and future* Word: I'm a word processor!
