Asymmetry: If Netflix showed you a video by a teenager from Arkansas talking about ferrets ... you'd cancel your Netflix subscription. If YouTube showed you a TV-quality series ... you'd cancel your Netflix subscription.

🎲🎲 claude.ai/public/arti... Play Shesh-Besh (AKA Backgammon) against @claudeai Nice demo of Claude's built-in API calling in artifacts. Alas, restricted to Claude Sonnet 4 for now. Claude isn't particularly good - bonus points if you can improve the prompting.

⚡ Sunday School: Drop In, Vibe On agentic-ventures.com/sunday-scho... Live session for people getting serious about building with Claude, Copilot, CLIs, IDEs, Web Apps, and the new wave of agentic AI tools.

... in this unformed world, whose rules and objectives are largely unknown, seemingly indecipherable or even possibly nonexistent, always on the verge of being killed by forces that we don't understand ...

We were promised MONDO 2000. We got WIRED. Now we may finally have a chance to reverse that trend. I want to believe.

Lovely new music from Melody music.youtube.com/playlist?li...

Really hate that I have to do this in every new project. Come on @AnthropicAI, this is not "race the the top". There's a standard, it isn't yours, so what - embrace it.

This is how my @code workspaces look like these days. Copilot / Claude / Agents / Terminal on the right. Navigator on the left. And one big nothingness in the middle ... because theoretically I'm a programmer, but in practice I hardly write any code (I do read code sometimes).

the world just got so much better: now I'll be able to watch re-runs of curb on netflix forever.

Agentically coded in half hour a @raycast extension for searching and copying my @usemonologue transcripts. If you want me to publish it say yo.

The "model" being referred to here is Gemini 3 pro. it hallucinates URLs like it had magic mushrooms for breakfast. 🤦‍♀️

🗃️ Upstash Redis KV Store SKILL 🤹‍♀️ Persistent KV storage for agents with Claude or Skillz ( github.com/intellectro... ). Free Upstash tier works great. gist.github.com/intellectro...

so after I gave up on n8n because I don't like programming with icons I also gave up on Windmill because it's expensive and unpleasant and I asked Claude to just take my automation scripts, stuff them in a docker, slap a simple scheduler, log everything, and push it to railway.

I call BS. It doesn't make sense to assume that one thing changes and everything else stays the same. The world of 10-20 years from now is going to be very different. If nothing else, today's "juniors" will have had 10-20 years of working and learning with AI.

One tiny advantage of the agentic AI era is that content is completely fungible. I used to struggle with all the different formats and restrictions. Now when I get a book, I ask a CLI agent to convert it to a markdown file, clean it up, and upload it to a gist.

The put-downs I'm hearing these days from "professional" software mavens on AI in software development and no-code/low-code agents rhymes beautifully with the put-downs I've heared 25 years ago about "scripting" languages like Python and JS. Spoiler alert: scripting won.

I'm technical, rational, and a bit of a cynic. I understand AI quite deeply and have been using it a lot for the last few years. Until now I've been persisnt in treating it like a sotware tool. Opus 4.5 gave me the first few moments where I felt there's someone else in the room.

My drumming teacher suggested that now that I have improved my skills I could prepare a playlist with songs I like so that we can practice them. So I sent him the playlist and when we met today he said "I was so suprised, I was sure that you only like metal!" 🤷‍♀️

I do love my podcasts. Don't we all? One new podcast I really enjoy lately is "WOW Happens" with Victor and Steffi. They talk media and have so many intelligent insights to share, and they are fun! It's now my Friday morning treat. Recommended++ www.wowhappens.fm/

Gemini always thinks, GPT is useless without thinking ... but when it comes to Claude, the models are great even without thinking, and it's hard to tell exactly when to turn thinking on. Claude Opus 4.5 helped me understand and created this guide. gist.github.com/intellectro...

Claude Code in Desktop is a nice addition. I probably won't be using it much, but I've been looking for something to recommend to non-programmers wanting to get started with agents, and this is going to be a lot easier for them.
