Early-bird tickets for UX London

You should come to UX London in the first week of June. Why? Because it’s going to be awesome, that’s why! You probably knew that already. You probably already decided to get a ticket because you’re smart like that. But don’t dilly-dally! Early-bird tickets are available n...

Working with agents doesn’t feel like flow — Bill de hÓra

dehora.net/journal/2026/working-with-agents-doesnt-feel-like-flow

Related to Matt’s thoughts:

…working with agents feels much less like classic deep work, and much more like playing a game. Not to say the work is frivolous—it’s just because it feels like I’m in a game loop.

Flow, at least in the usual sense for me, feels smooth and continuous. The work and your attention starts to line up so cleanly that the experience becomes frictionless. You disappear into the work and meld with it. One notable aspect of flow has been I lose track of time. Working with agents on the other hand, is not like that at all. It’s highly engaging, but in a more jagged, reactive way. I’m focused, but not settled. I’m absorbed, but not merged with the task. I’m paying close attention the whole time, but the attention is dynamic and tactical rather than continuous. I don’t lose track of time at all.

A Fisherman Of The Inland Sea by Ursula K. Le Guin

When I was summing up my reading habits in 2022 I said: I think the lesson this year is: you can’t go wrong with Octavia E. Butler or Ursula K. Le Guin. I stand by that. But maybe I’d recommend some Ursula K. Le Guin books more than others. A Fisherman Of The Inland S...

That was Web Day Out

On March 12th, 1989, Tim Berners-Lee submitted Information Management: A Proposal. This would form the basis of what became the World Wide Web. On March 12th, 2026, Web Day Out happened in Brighton. Coincidence? Yes. Yes, it is a coincidence. But it’s a pretty nice coinci...

Gas Town and Bullet Hell – Petafloptimism

petafloptimism.com/2026/03/14/gas-town-and-bullet-hell/

Matt has some smart reckons on the relationship between time and technology:

The factory bell, the railway timetable, the telegraph wire, the always-on smartphone — each imposed a new temporal discipline, each produced its own characteristic form of exhaustion, and each was eventually (partially, imperfectly) domesticated through a combination of regulation, design, and collective action.

Stop Sloppypasta: Don’t paste raw LLM output at people

stopsloppypasta.ai/

slop·py·pas·ta n. Verbatim LLM output copy-pasted at someone, unread, unrefined, and unrequested. From slop (low-quality AI-generated content) + copypasta (text copied and pasted, often as a meme, without critical thought). It is considered rude because it asks the recipient to do work the sender did not bother to do themselves.

A web font strategy

The Session has been online in some form since the late 1990s. That’s long before web fonts existed. To begin with, Times New Roman was the only game in town if you wanted serif type on a website. When Microsoft introduced Georgia it was a godsend. A beautiful typeface desi...

I work, I think? - Annotated

renderghost.leaflet.pub/3mgigxmbx4k2z

This is about something that’s already happening, that doesn’t show up in employment figures: the quiet destruction of the feedback loop that turns inexperienced people into competent ones. The process by which you get something wrong, feel it, understand why, and become slightly less wrong next time. It’s unglamorous and it’s slow and it’s the only way it’s ever worked.

AI short-circuits that learning completely. Not maliciously. Just structurally. When you can generate something that looks right without doing the thinking, you will (most people, most people being me, will, most of the time, under pressure, with a deadline) and the muscle that thinking would have built never develops.
