If you are curious what a frontier coding agent feels like to use, and don't want to pay or put in a credit card to try it out, here you go: ampcode.com/code/AMP-BSK...

This is pretty much how everything I build happens... 1. Notice friction: post sidebar feels cluttered 2. Experiment: carousel, collapsible tags, moved metadata 3. Ship it to my 12 readers

We decided to shut down Plumb this week (and I'm ending 5 years at Murmur Labs). We built something special, but it was time to fold up the tent. I'll share more reflections later but for now, my focus is on helping this amazing team find their next home, either together or on their own. 💜

I love Claude's "incognito mode" button. so cute.

I've been spending time on the bird app and this whole time I probably should've been here.

Kindlets & Blips, first appearance not in my @supernote Nomad or doodled on paper. This is my first piece of art on canvas ever!

In my newsletter this week, I talk about how AI models mirror our minds by focusing on what we tell them not to do, making positive prompting essential for better results. news.curiouslychase.com/p/the-pink-e...

Saw a guy wearing a Sleep Token shirt at the grocery store, so I asked him what he thought about "Even in Arcadia". We talked for 20 minutes and it was just really a highlight.

The best software is configurable. Defaults welcome you in; hidden knobs set you free. ✨🤘

Been finding a lot of value in getting some musings out of my mind and onto paper. #musings #graphicdesign #poem #poetry #illustration #eink #supernote

In my latest newsletter issue, I dive into why AI models fall short when it comes to current events and how to use these tools wisely without being misled. news.curiouslychase.com/p/your-ai-ch...

Someone in the @resilienceinsoftware.org Slack just asked a really savvy question about this Cloudflare incident report: blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-i.... Their question was: “Is it ‘human error’ if the system allows it?”

I've been exploring new templates for my @supernote.com. I wanted them to be minimal and reusable. So far I like these!

I love my @supernote.com Nomad and I don't see a lot of people talk about screen mirroring, so I made a short video demoing it, showing how to turn it on and why I love it! 🖊️ youtu.be/ErVTy1IyOFw

Some horoscope sketches on the @supernote.com. Happy to share for screensavers if anyone is interested!

The time you save by having AI write code for you, you double in review (or you should!) if you want it to be bug free and work as expexted.

Taste is just bias but with better branding.

First try at sketching a dragon, no reference. Still living my @supernote.com nomad.

I've been trying to get 20-30 min of doodle time during lunch every day. Still loving doing art on my @supernote.com Nomad. ✨🤘

I'm really hoping the Bluesky algorithm brings me some Supernote/e-ink users into my feed. ✨🤘 If you're into curiosity, having fun and making rad stuff, I'd love to float this stream with you!

Would you read a book that was co-authored by AI? Specifically if the author noted it was written that way and shared all the conversations used to write the book?

I can't believe iOS Shortcuts doesn't support creating a Note with iOS Notes native checklist functionality.

I was confused where all the VS Code/Cursor sidebar sections in "Source Control" went. Iit looks like GitLens updated and rolled them up into a single heading. If you use those, here's how you can put the sections back into the Source Control panel... www.loom.com/share/37ca16...

40% of our productive time is lost to task-switching. That's not a small problem - it's a massive productivity tax we're all paying. Imagine if your tools just...worked together. No switching needed. That's the promise of this idea I'm calling Ambient AI!

The best technology is the one you forget exists. Think about your heating system - it just works. That's where AI needs to go. Less prompting, more ambient understanding. Who else is tired of managing their productivity tools? 🤔

Did a DNS record to update my Bluesky handle and now I'm @curiouslychase.com! ✨🤘

The irony of needing AI to protect me from AI spam is not lost on me. Gmail's spam filter seems like it has officially given up on filtering the flood of AI cold emails.

Someone asked why I don't want to throw little pieces away (offcuts) and I told them I can still use them for things. I made a corner clamp with an off cut and my existing bar clamps. I used it to make a box for offcuts that were too small to rack.

I've been really enjoying doodling again every day. Starting to feel out gnomes! Tried owls but wow are they hard.

Not knowing why something broke is scary. Not knowing how you fixed it is horrifying.
