Oops, while testing something I accidentally sent out another random post (that I didn’t write!) to my blog and other services. Time to step away from the keyboard.
Nice simple teaser site for Tapestry, shipping next week. It combines a bunch of sources into a single timeline, extensible with JavaScript.

When I read the tech news or listen to podcasts, my mind sometimes wanders into how I would talk about this with @danielpunkass on Core Int. It’s going to be hard to break the habit. But I packed up my microphone and threw away the mic stand. “Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
I've been using claude.ai for programming work lately, and it does one thing better than ChatGPT. It reads your code and tries to mimic your coding style. ChatGPT won't do that. It's really frustrating to have to edit their code before I can even try it out.

Advice to would-be platform vendors
I've decided that trading in my Model Y for another EV is an acceptable solution. Let someone else ride around in this car that I love, but hate because it is a symbol of American terrorism and apartheid. This is compatible with my understanding that hate is love that was betrayed. I'm sure I won't love its replacement as much as I loved the Model Y, but I will feel better about driving it. And Tesla shareholders will, I hope, learn the lesson that products must be politically agnostic in order to work commercially. Or if you must take a stand, make it against fascism. So many of our oligarchs have made the wrong bet here. We will never forget what Zuckerberg, Bezos, the CEOs of Apple, Microsoft, Open AI -- all these companies went the wrong way.
A pastoral scene
Here we are on an artichoke farm in coastal California, a place where migrant workers would normally be doing back-breaking work to pick the artichokes we could eat in our salads and antipasto.
Instead all we have are Trump's beautiful dancers! It is a beautiful scene, but hold your nose because the unharvested 'chokes are rotting and they don't smell very sweet!
Trump's California artichoke farms, beautiful, but not very productive. In the context of Apple services revenue, I want to mention something I noticed yesterday. I opened the App Store to check something, and staring me in the face right on the home page was an ad for Truth Social. Between that and search ads clutter, ads only make the App Store worse. 💰
