My dad’s designing a bike shed, so naturally I asked him what colour it was going to be. The important questions come first

If you’re a software engineer, designer, or technologist who wants to help make City government work better and faster, apply to join our PIT crews at nyc.gov/pitcrew.

The Figma is not the design system. The code library is not the design system. The documentation is not the design system. #designsystems

AI is a powerful tool. But just like any other power tool, you can do a lot of damage id you don’t know what you’re doing

I understand the resentment towards @mark-carney.bsky.social’s comments: AI is painfully upheaving so many industries. But Pandora’s Box is opened. The technology exists; there’s no going back on that. The best our governments can do is ensure that it’s used and deployed responsibly, and equitably.

I’m noticing two philosophical camps when it comes to the question of AI and copyright. Camp 1 anthropomorphizes an LLM, whereas Camp 2 sees an LLM more like a deterministic prediction machine

If I already reviewed Claude’s code, why do I need to submit that code for further code review? (Only half sarcastic here)

In 6-12 months we’re going to start hearing about “zero-token workflows”

Spent a good chunk of the weekend setting up OpenClaw. Now that I’m thinking with Agents, I’m annoyed I can’t set it up to do the actual tedious parts of my life like laundry and cleaning.

Has AI increased my productivity? For purely coding tasks, sure. But the pre-existing bottleneck of code review has stayed the same, if not gotten worse

Working on an exciting project at work, but it’s a bit hard to feel engaged at the moment

Can’t say I approve, but this feels like run-of-the-mill American “Monroe Doctrine” interventionism more than anything

Sittim. Sittim is the opposite of standim. But it’s also the opposite of runnin aroun, and standim on u head. This implies that Sittim exists on a complex hyper plane of locomotion. In this essay I will

Having recently read his book, I don’t think Carney is betraying his Value(s), rather he’s responding to the shifting priorities and values of Canadians since November of last year. However, he could probably do a better job at communicating his longer term vision www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

I really like Warp terminal, but agents seem to have gotten worse in the latest update. Why is it opening `nano` and simulating keystrokes now? It never used to do that, and would just read and `cat >` straight into a file

@gnumanth.bsky.social Will you be around at React Summit tomorrow? Would love to chat with you about embedding UI from an MCP!

How should we market to climate-conscious people? How about shitty AI videos of people claiming to care about the climate! Brilliant. 10/10. Zero irony detected

It’s pretty embarrassing that while the US is investing in AI and tech infrastructure, Canada is still figuring out how to sell our rocks, trees and oil to countries other than the States

Not sure I agree that “prediction” is the defining aesthetic of our era—gambling and markets have been around for ages. However this does feel similar to Mark Carney’s idea that we’re moving from a market economy to a Market Society where all of life is commodified substack.com/@danco/p-175...
