Just heard an ad on WNYC-FM saying we should share news with them. That's a milestone. First time I've ever heard NPR say our purpose was anything other than giving them money. They could go even further -- support blogs and podcasts that cover the NYC area.

Great post today by Ben Thompson on the changes coming in the future, even as AI replaces some jobs:
All of that could very well be replaced by AI, but the point is that the history of humans is the continual creation of new jobs to be done — jobs that couldn’t have been conceived of before they were obvious, and which pay dramatically more than whatever baseline existed before technological change.
There will always be something to do. And humans will always seek out art and writing and anything crafted by humans, because we feel a connection with it.
John Voorhees revived his old Objective-C app with Claude Code and came away floored:
What I see is the foundation of a fundamental shift in the economics of building and maintaining apps. […] Will new opportunities emerge for indie developers to serve even narrower user segments as the time and effort to build new utility apps drops?
Yes. Small developers (especially generalists) have a new competitive advantage because they have all the capability of larger teams and none of the bureaucracy.
