Has anyone else noticed an uptick in new follows from accounts that follow 10s of thousands accounts, post mostly political content and other than the profile description offer no window into the ‘person’ the account apparently portrays?

What am I misunderstanding when I interact with a YouTube link in bsky on iOS? Tap the link opens app browser, tap another button to open in browser app. Tap ANOTHER button to open in YouTube app. Why can’t I just open the link in YouTube app?

The fun thing about doing a podcast with a pro like Lenny is that his team can slice the thing up into TikTok-style shorts after the fact, here's 48 seconds of me talking about the cognitive cost of agentic engineering

1. Sign up for Bluesky. 2. Learn about atproto and pds. 3. Create/migrate your pds using Matt’s tool.

Trying to drink from the #atmosphereconf fire hose this weekend. To all the amazing builders I’m now aware of, please add an about page to your website (not as a subdomain). I shouldn’t have to search, “what is [blah] [magic keywords]” after visiting your site.

When you’ve recovered from the conference, @bookhive.buzz importing goodreads csv doesn’t seem to be working atm.

Like many terms in the ai space I’ve been trying to better understand spec driven development. And my takeaway is we should be calling it design doc driven development or spec-anchored driven development (thanks Birgitta Böckeler). I think “spec” can easily drift in meaning and interpretation.

Every couple of weeks I think to myself that I should post more of what I’ve read about engineering and AI only to remember that 90% of the useful links I discover are via @simonwillison.net Simon is the single best source for keeping up with AI engineering.

They can have the borg speak multiple languages but they can’t pronounce the name of a little land locked country. IYKYK (Pluribus)

Anyone else having issues with claude code and the scripts folder in skills? All the examples show a relative path (python scripts/blah.py) for invoking but claude code complains because the path is relative to the project not the specific skill folder. Seems to be fine with plugin installs.

My current favourite combo is Claude code and AppleScript. “Find all tabs in safari related to [topic] and append the title, url and short description to today’s Obsidian daily note”

@simonwillison.net is there a way to combine a geojson with lat/long values in datasette? I want to show a bunch of markers as well as city boundaries. I can view each separately in their respective tables but not sure how to combine them.

Introducing MyCoder - a very capable AI agent-based coder that just works. 1. npm install -g mycoder 2. export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=[your key] 3. cd myproject 4. mycoder "fix any build errors" github.com/bhouston/myc...

SSX Tricky! In my early 20's I had a PS2 but couldn't afford the games. For months we played the SSX Tricky demo (2 min limit) over and over until the wee hours of the morning. I would dream of flying squirrels. youtu.be/PDFUgsE6odU?...

Do kids learn about markdown at school? I picked it up over the years because I like the simplicity. And tools like Obsidian and iaWriter are my favourites. But AI has kinda made it mainstream and I don’t know if kids know or care about it.

Love Actually will always be a Christmas classic. And Elf WAS top of my list. Until, that is, Noelle was released. Just watch all 3 and enjoy the festive season. Let’s do this.

Love me a good voronoi thread.

1. for *.ipynb in folder: jupyter nbconvert --to markdown $nb 2. import *.md into Claude Projects 3. "How do I use this new (and obtuse) library?" 🥂

My favourite kind of gamedev trivia.

I keep hearing, “agentic ai is just an orchestration system”. As a newcomer I’m using langgraph because I don’t know what I don’t know. What do I need to know about to deploy workflow orchestration? What do you use and why? Temporal? Prefect? Inngest? Would love to hear from the AI community.

I often see prime numbers mentioned in coding lessons and tests. But, like, how often do people actually deal with prime numbers in code? Security peeps? Or do they just represent a problem space and that's what the person is learning?
