The negative space—what we don’t do—also says a lot about who we are
Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia. They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!
Our minds are so fucking poorly adapted to the century we’re living in. It’s outrageous.
Ever wake up realizing that there’s a better way to write that spec you wrote a year ago at your last job?
I just realized that all the time I was spending on TikTok I’m now spending vibe coding all my silly ideas
claude code tip: take screenshots every time you have to give it instructions. those can sometimes turn into bullet points in your claude.md
turns out you can get Claude Code to take out the shit comments it added. Just ask it to thoroughly look at every test file and consider if each comment adds semantic value to a reader.
i feel like with claude code we're close to the final goal of coding in the shower.
it really feels like Claude Code could get a lot more out of the typescript AST
while you're working with Claude Code / Aider / whatever, there needs to be a way to keep track of shit you see that's wrong but you don't want to fix right now because it'll get the LLM off track. Like push to my cleanup queue before the next commit

It’s a subtle point but let’s point our criticism at what he’s doing, not his lack of social skills. They didn’t make him evil, he did that on his own
“What do we want?” “Leaded gasoline!” “When do we want it?” “Now!” Buckle up folks. Oh wait, I forgot that seat belts cause infertility and moral weakness.
Honestly a bit surprised it took the discourse this long to get here tbh
DEI is out. HIE Is in: hegemony, inequality, and exclusion. Adjust your corporate functions accordingly 😕
i keep vamping on this blog post... the art is getting awesome. I can't believe I wrote most of this in 2021 before LLMs. I'm doing a lot of good updates now... still very much WIP offbyone.us/posts/cost-o...
I gave this post from 2021 a glow up. I need to rewrite it now in the era of llms offbyone.us/posts/cost-o...
Cost of computing
Why isn't it getting cheaper and cheaper to write programs

why can't you point a browser at a url like `/some-markdown.md` and get a pretty page? it seems like such a no-brainer.
ok i have a pitch for a show. the characters are a bunch of unix programs and one of them finds out that they're entire existence is inside a container on a vm and their whole world is a lie
@v0.dev helped me make a little illustration of a way to visualize a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is a 2d plane and the formula references are arcs. it took me and v0 10 exchanges to get a pretty good snapshot of what i was trying to illustrate. v0.dev/chat/spreads...
