I was at a school function the other day where the 2nd graders performed a bunch of Aesop’s Fabels and it was great. It was a double-header with 3rd graders who then read prepared reports on famous people. It was cross-disciplinary thing as the kids brought props from design class, costumes from performing arts, and […]

Lil Finder Guy

Basic Apple Guy:

Where I and the rest of the internet take this from here remains to be seen. All I know is that Apple should definitely keep this Lil Finder around.

But no, I do not think this is the last we’ve seen of Lil Finder Guy…

Apple’s MacBook Neo ad campaign on TikTok — and seemingly exclusive to TikTok — is the most fun they’ve had with a campaign in ages. I love it.

Patrick Rhone interviewed for the People and Blogs series:

…that’s exactly what a blog should be — a reflection of one’s interest and attention over time. A reflection of who one is right now and where they’ve been. Blogs are living things that should grow at the same rate we do.

If I knew how AI would work with software, I would've done things differently to prepare for this. I find myself wanting to ask questions about my code that I don't have proper tools to answer. I have to get all my code managed with the new system, but not sure that's even the right way to go. Once I started using it to build full bits of deployed code, not to just answer questions about the work I'm doing one day at a time, I've become confused about planning my own work.

Tetragrammaton

I picked up Rick Rubin’s book a couple years ago. It sat on my bedside table for months and one day I will actually finish it.

I just recently discovered his podcast Tetragrammaton. There are two episodes with Greg Brockman that are excellent. (Yes, I’m aware Greg gave a bunch of money to Trump and I’m disappointed by it.)

The full interview is 3 hours long. The first episode has the best insight into Sam Altman’s firing that I’ve heard yet, especially around letting internal drama brew instead of resolving conflicts early. Highly recommend both episodes whether you love or hate AI.
