Last month I saw one of my first examples at work of “why did you not use the designated /skill to complete this engineering task?” Somebody went back after the postmortem, use the skill to replicate a dependency upgrade gone wrong, and it caught the issues that led to a tiny outage. 

There are still folks in the camp of being skeptical of LLMs and agents, which I think is healthy. But I think it’s quickly becoming equally negligent to think that a human will be as thorough as an agent on a lot of software engineering tasks.

So tired of saying it, but imagine Obama or Biden or Harris said any of this. We've normalized a malignant narcissist who fundamentally disrespects every aspect of his office.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Super cool idea to be able to chat with the agent while looking at the document. Great way to keep the agent on the rails and focused while writing.

Surprise: I built a Mac app over the weekend (while on vacation 😎). It’s called Flywrite. It's a markdown writing app with a terminal built in, for people who write with Claude Code (or other agents). See the demo and join early access here: flywrite.app

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Why are HTML <==> Markdown libraries always one-way? Seems like they either render Markdown as HTML, or they convert HTML to Markdown, but they never do both.

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

New study of 15K URLs shows articles receiving Major Rewrites (30-100% of content) vastly outperform minor/moderate updates Interestingly, even "minor" rewrites, defined as 0-30% of content, still saw decay Is this a cutoff for "lastSignificantUpdate" per Google? republishai.com/content-opti...

The suggested prompts in the Claude <> Google Calendar connector are coming at me way too hard today. Just trying to get a little personal organization work done here, ease up.

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

there should be a thing that reads your package.json and charges you $5/month per dependency - you don’t /have/ to! you could set the price to $1 per employee! - and then holds the funds and sends it to the people who made the code you use to do business how is not doing this more sustainable

Built a palette extractor that thinks like a curator, not a pixel counter. – Physics-based color repulsion – Auto-detects muted vs vibrant bias – Adaptive spacing to hit target count – OKLCh color space (perceptually uniform) Early Access: please break it! chipper-otter-d6c600.netlify.app

And honestly, the milk hasn’t tasted the same since they migrated off of MooTools at 2.0.

Sometimes I feel like quitting web development and joining my brother-in-law on the ranch. At least cows don't suddenly upgrade to version 5.0 and break the entire farm because the geese aren't on 3.2.4 yet.

They say products need to be launched again, and again, and again. I built Broadcast back in October 2024 (hand coded). It's an email marketing platform, and it's matured quite a bit.

We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse. This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares. Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…

Awesome update. Def the cleanest editor out there.

This fall, we shipped a Settings UI. Seems simple, right? Under the hood: refactored our entire settings architecture, taught GPUI new tricks, and accidentally broke auto-update along the way. Here's the story of how we rebuilt settings in Zed: zed.dev/blog/setting...

Today is the 20th anniversary of the time in college when my friend Jeff gave me some free shared web hosting, and I decided to build a music blog with something called "WordPress." It would have been on version 1.5 I believe, since this was a few weeks before WordPress 2.0 was released.
