Feed getting progressively darker and more argumentative, with a lot less 'OMG look at this!'. Probably my cue to stop looking at it and build something ridiculous.

Just finished processing all the sex cult stuff, and now I have to try to figure out wtf a Jev is. Or maybe I should just eat a gummy, watch Judge Judy, and call it a night.

I feel like NASA should spend more time and resources on Uranus. Whenever we learn something new about Uranus, the headline gives each and every one of us a fleeting moment of child-like joy.

Ah yes, the one (half) day during the week at the happy middle ground. Neither monomaniacally orchestrating agents, nor in burnout recovery from monomaniacally orchestrating agents.

#Claude is kind of an okay cook. Every recipe I've followed has been decent, with some absolute bangers. Plus, you don't have to scroll through 45 ads and a personal bio. Save the artifacts and you've got a recipe book. Ask me about my delicious AI slop tacos.

"The real total is 1,802, not the 1,656 I wrote earlier — correcting that, and it's worth saying plainly" A poem It is not worth you saying plainly Not inanely, or arcanely Not worth saying to the wall Not worth saying, not at all.

How, in 2026, is there no solution to updating the 20-30 auto bill pays most of us have every month when a card is lost or stolen? Every few years a small inconvenience turns into a nightmare of missed payments, and late fees.

"Measure the impact of anti-aliasing on maximum dudeage." It's been kind of a crap week in the #AI world, but at least I still get to type sentences like that in all seriousness.

Part of the problem with Opus'... verbosity is that it's self-reinforcing. "According to §5 of the Playbook..." §5? Playbook? I'm sure the answers to both questions lies in some prompt where I typed, " Yes. Fucking whatever. Just goddamn do it, we are not presenting this before SCOTUS."

Me: "Convert 29 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit." Opus 5: *Spins up suite of 90 unit tests, passes 32, begins arguing with itself.* [45 minutes later] Opus 5: "Two honest caveats:"

I get that there are almost certainly solutions to addressing Opus 5's tone issues. But framing it as technical debt is a step too far for me. 'Update your workflows or your agents will be snotty.' is an odd take, IMO.

Is there any path forward on #Claude certification for non-partners? I can't drive adoption at my org without a cert, and in a flooded market I'd love a documented trust artifact behind my side work portfolio. Feels like solo devs get frozen out, and it harms adoption at non-technical orgs.
