I was feeling good with that 15-0 start to the game, but this third quarter had been tough. Lots of fouls, not enough shots going in for the Spurs. 🏀

Watched the first part of the Starship v3 launch live, then the final minutes later. Never gets old. Extraordinary views. 🚀

Most users probably don’t use Micro.blog notes as much as I do, but still feels great to ship this latest bug fix update for Mac with much faster notes sync. The clunkiness had been bugging me for a while even though I use it all the time.

BTW, I don't think the web was created to make people rich.

I don’t have AI start a draft of anything for me except photo accessibility text. But I do often have it check posts for grammar problems or confusing phrases. Super useful. I think my writing is at least slightly better because of it, but it’s still mine.

Everyone can choose to have AI help them write or not, but we’re past the point of needing to be lectured about it. When I’m at the store and see someone buying a greeting card with a poetic message that someone else wrote for them, I don’t give them a hard time. It’s fine.

Another way to look at Claude Code. It's a way to talk to your code, to ask it questions, and tell it how you want it to change.

I think maybe it's time to consider a reboot of WordPress. I can't seem to seed them with any ideas about building on it from the point of view of the web. It's a product unto itself, it has plugins, but I'm not a plug-in sort of guy. I write operating systems. That's what dr...

I have news for you -- Claude forgets important stuff. I catch it forgetting to do things it was "programmed" to do. It's not a computer, it's not garbage in garbage out. It could be good stuff in garbage out. As I've said before there's a big chunk of the app I'm working on where I don't read code. User interface stuff only. No control of what comes in our out. Trying to not take any chances here.

This is a multi-billion dollar idea. I want to link to "report-up" concept in something I'm writing. There is no Wikipedia page for that but there is a brief explainer in Google, via their AI. Here's the feature: add a permalink to that response. I'm lazy and will link to it in my writing.

Does it ever cross anyone's mind that according to the rules of war, Iran would be totally justified in attacking the United States?

Clunky rollout for Inkwell iOS

After a full month of Apple rejections, the iOS version of Inkwell has been approved. Before I get to that, there is one additional update from Apple, this time from their trademarks team who I reached out to. This is part of the response I got this week: As we are sure you...

Affordances for me, but not for thee

For years, people have tried hard to get websites to build accessibility affordances. Now developers are willingly building them for AI.

Vibe-coded software will have a place where users can communicate what they want to developers who can help make it real. The same way you might get medical info from an AI, but would still get your colonoscopy from an actual doctor. Part of the origin story of podcasting is that Adam hacked up a version of Frontier to illustrate what he had in mind for the "last yard" protocol. When I looked at the code it was horrible, hard to believe someone thought of doing it that way. But it got the point across, and that's the moment the podcasting boostrap began. I love using the AIs to tell a visual story, a skill I never had or developed. No reason it can't work the same way for software.

Loved the way they wrapped up the last episode of The Late Show. Nicely done. Heck of a run and good way to go out on top. 📺
