Recently, Kev posted a survey on his site to figure out how people access his content. Big fan of asking people directly and the results are not at all surprising to me. As I said to him, RSS traffic on my server is VERY high.

But it's fun to get more datapoints so I created a similar survey and I'd really appreciate it if you could take probably 10 seconds to answer it. It's literally 1 question. I'll keep the form live for a week and then publish the results.

Thank you :)

TL;DR: Friction that increases with system size is an existential threat. Any note-taking or knowledge system whose marginal cost per note rises as the system grows will eventually become unusable, regardless of how beneficial it feels early on. A Zettelkasten must b...

A “whistleblower” tried to corroborate his viral post with AI-generated evidence. This is how I caught him. PLUS: Grok's image-generation crisis, and the rapture over Claude Opus 4.5

Don't just *think* about what comes next, think about what you can DO about it to make it work for you! Also, PfP✨ London speaker reveal!

This essay from UI critic Nikita Prokopov is just devastatingly good. If you’ve looked at MacOS 26 Tahoe, you’re surely appalled by the new UI guideline that recommends putting icons next to every single menu item. Prokopov argues — with copious screenshot illustrations ever...

Sean Heber blogs about the continued devaluation of software, comparing it to Zork in the 1980s.

In 2026 there is going to be more software than ever, much of at least AI-assisted if not outright slop, and so more competition. More indie developers, but maybe fewer successful ones.

The number one question I get from my friends, acquaintances, and mentees in the technology industry these days is, by far, variations on the basic theme of, “what the hell are we supposed to do now?”

The only way Pickle could sound *more* like a cult would be if their “employees” (are any of them actually getting paid?) all shaved their heads and wore Hare Krishna-style robes.

Intrigued by the upcoming LEGO smart bricks. It’s crazy what is possible now. I ordered a few widgets from SparkFun the other day to experiment with… So tiny and powerful.

Well, they say you should never trust a politician, and it seems I’ve been duped. As an avid reader of the New York Post, the New York Post’s X feed, and transcripts of several-minute-long voice memos from my relatives who have never lived in New York and will never live in ...

Satya Nadella started a new blog at the end of 2025. A couple interesting things about it… There is no mention of Microsoft, so it feels like a personal blog, and he quotes Steve Jobs:

A new concept that evolves “bicycles for the mind” such that we always think of AI as a scaffolding for human potential vs a substitute. What matters is not the power of any given model, but how people choose to apply it to achieve their goals.

Also his blog is using Hugo.

The hotel told 404 Media in a statement “We are in touch with the impacted guests to ensure they are accommodated.”

The chip giant says Vera Rubin will sharply cut the cost of training and running AI models, strengthening the appeal of its integrated computing platform.
