computing shrines is a series of public art sculptures that co-opt our devices to foster local connection in everyday locations. the show in new york starts today free & open to the public until june 22 📍 180 maiden lane

1/ Friends stayed with us for a few days, so I used Replit and their recent Notion integration to create an interactive map of our favorite neighborhood spots. It took about 45 minutes of careful prompting. Here are some initial takeaways.

6/ We seem to be at an inflection point where tech-savvy professionals can quickly create disposable, purpose-built software for specific, small problems. More complex applications still have some way to go, but the space is evolving at an incredible pace.

7/ Overall, this was a really fun experiment. Looking forward to creating more micro-tools in the future and seeing what others come up with. The dawn of truly personalized computing is upon us.

4/ I managed to do this quickly because I'm well-versed in frontend lore, have been debugging for over 15 years, and follow the field closely. I used precise wording and pointed the agent in the right direction, so errors got ironed out easily.

5/ This feels like a huge unlock for senior developers who have been around for a while and know their way around software. There still seems to be quite a few friction points and a steep learning curve for newcomers and non-technical roles.

2/ Coding agents have improved significantly in the last few months. In previous attempts, I often got stuck in loops of trivial errors and increasingly convoluted code, which left me frustrated.

3/ Notion is an incredibly powerful surface area for building small apps and enabling participation from non-technical folks. It provides an easy-to-use database with familiar affordances. My wife can now easily extend the map without having to touch a line of code.

Hate to admit it, but Bluesky feels more engaging with the new Discover tab… I suppose the neural rewiring induced by algo-driven feeds in permanent.

I wish they'd quit launching rockets and focus on fixing the planet instead. Yeah, I know, fat chance.

Bluesky gives off such early 2000’s web vibes… it feels almost uncanny to be able to have such a convivial online space in this day and age. Here’s to the return of the communal web ✨
