worked on something to help me build CLI experiences, decided to share it with the world ✌️ CLI Designer is a browser WYSIWYG tool: replay a real terminal session, lint against best practices, and export a runnable spec.

CLI Designer — Design your CLI before you build it

Model commands, script terminal sessions, lint against clig.dev, and hand off to engineering — all in the browser.

I've worked on a number of different CLI tools over the years — finally got around to build me a helper design tool to handoff those specs ✌️

my super power is knowing whether a thot piece was written by AI by the first paragraph alone

"Load bearing," "I keep coming back to," "Not just X, but Y" A curse of using AI a lot is that you realize how much of the writing around you is just AI, now People who don't use AI have historically been unable to identify AI prose on sight, but those who use it a lot can spot the tells easily

I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

I think we need an inverse thread where we talk about things that normal intelligent people universally agree upon that are for some reason hot takes within your profession

ORBÁN CONCEDED

feeling like I'm living in a significant geopolitical history day, as per usual

Anyway after an hour and a half of platforming some of the vilest misogynists you can find in Miami, Theroux concludes that the reason so many men are going fash is childhood trauma and alienation; two things that I guess women never experience.

there was a time not too long ago that celebrating international woman's day felt empowering and significant to me, but unfortunately I don't feel like celebrating anymore. I feel like fighting.

We should have never legitimized gambling or outsourced our thinking.

my livejournal turned 18 years old and I don't know how to tell past me how much better and much worse the world turned out to be.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

well then *taps legs and exits to live in the woods permanently*

Me writing an email: “AI makes mistakes, check your work.” Department of Defense: “When if we hooked it up to a machine gun”

heavy on not being an elder millennial in tech in 2026 because you'll have nostalgia for both your 2006 teenage years tech AND 2016 twitter/bay area tech

GUI is dead long live the terminal

I'm going to be brutally honest and say that if someone thinks that AI is alive or will have a conscious in the future, they need to touch a more powerful type of grass and go back to school to educate themselves

Then you’ll love this shot

2026 tech is looking very much like 2016 tech - hustle culture is back - cult of personality > impact - minorities? what are those? - accessibility? not a priority

you have got to understand that I'm merely vibing for me and the girlies!

markup and specifically markdown turning out to be most influential language of all time is almost poetic, in a way

using "thinking" "pondering" "reasoning" et al. for ai tooling loading states is a dark pattern. discuss.

I'm building an app is the new I have a podcast

why is tech twitter back on (bad) twitter? this phenomenon needs to be studied

what a weekend for victorian goth catholic guilt girlies

Turns out an asteroid didn't kill the dinosaurs. They just invented capitalism and house prices got higher and higher until they stopped having babies altogether.
