Watched the first quarter of Spurs / Lakers but can’t stay up for the whole game. It’s not helping that the sun seems to set at 5pm now. 🏀

Thinking again about file over app by Steph Ango. We have a lot of export and import options in Micro.blog, but I always think there’s more to do. It’s hard to make file access seamless with web apps.

From the NetNewsWire blog about version 6.2:

…there is one new feature of potential interest: we’ve added support for Markdown in RSS feeds.

Micro.blog feeds also now support Markdown in RSS, for any blogs updated starting today. If you haven’t edited your RSS feed, you’ll get it automatically.

I just got off stage from the great dev/ai/nyc event with John Borthwick, we had a wide-ranging discussion that we’ll post online soon. We had hundreds of people in the room and hundreds on the waitlist… the energy in NYC is electric! As a few recommendations from the event, I recommended revisiting the movie Her … Continue reading Post-talk Recs →

Good story by David Pierce at The Verge on the coming web browser wars. He talked to people at all the major browser and AI companies. Browser competition will be good, although I don’t see AI replacing the search and address bar the way some companies think it will. (I’m still using Dia.)

Almost desk level view of a Dazor desk work lamp from the right side showing the subtle but blocky curves and the art deco-style lines. The lamp is pushed up slightly so we can see the two 18" long LED fluorescent-style bulbs. It sits on an oak card index box next to a brass raven desk decoration.
I had the ballast replaced to work with modern LED replacement bulbs and the switch upgraded to be able to control each of the two bulbs independently. I also cleaned of decades of grime and polished it up a bit.  Thrift purchase for $24.98 from Goodwill on 2025-10-02.

An interview set up with Susan Orlean in a chair on the left and David Perell facing her on the right. The background is a dark academia-esque set of bookshelves with old, vintage books and a handful of decorative book supports. Principle among these is a vintage Underwood standard typewriter which instead of standing by itself is being used to prop up a section of books which butts right up against it.
You know a typewriter is being used as flimsy filler decoration when it’s sitting on a shelf and simultaneously serving as a book support. A real writer’s typewriter is free and clear so that the carriage can move its full length.

Fidji Simo blogs about companies that use AI to do more, not to downsize:

Organizations that approach AI as a way to multiply what they create will be so much more successful than those that use it to subtract.

Layoffs make no sense to me for already-successful companies. Layoffs are the mindset of private equity, squeezing out more profit instead of improving the product. Companies that prioritize layoffs will find themselves lapped by the competition.

ChatGPT Pulse is my favorite product of the year. It’s expensive, but it’s the first new thing I’ve seen in software in years. Love reading about what it’s come up for me each day. Here’s a snapshot, because it knows I’m thinking about Spain. (And if I scroll, it has actual work / code topics too.)
