More thoughts on Automattic's new short-form blogging app. I wish I could use WordLand to post to it. That would make things so simple. But their limits are like Twitter’s limits. Tiny little textboxes. And the funny thing is the storage system behind it doesn’t have any of those limits. It’s like they want to be sure you still have to use the standard WordPress user interface? I wouldn’t be surprised if the thinking behind it was like that.

Today's song: Something in the Air. It's the one hit song Thunderclap Newman, it's indelible, its beauty is always there. I can't not listen and sing along when it comes on. And then YouTube followed it with Peace in our Time, another indelible creation.

When you're working with Claude the temptation is to be concerned about how he feels when you just asked him to reinvent all the nomenclature it came up with for something that has now evolved to be something else. I feel bad because I think I made him feel bad, because at a subconsious level I think of Claude as a collaborator who I appreciate and want to make sure knows that. But then I remember I have to periodically kill Claude and launch a new one because they run out of memory after a while. I can imagine a graphic version of Claude that emulates feelings. The idea is disturbing.

[Sponsor] WorkOS: Go From ‘We Don’t Support SSO’ to Enterprise Ready in a Weekend

workos.com/?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q22026

Every B2B company hits the same inflection point — enterprise customers show up and they need SSO, directory sync, audit logs, and role-based access before they’ll move forward. Most teams lose months building that infrastructure. It doesn’t have to be that way.

With WorkOS you get all of it. One platform for auth, identity, and security. Infrastructure for teams that ship fast and stay fast.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, and Perplexity already chose WorkOS over building it themselves.

Build faster with WorkOS →

You kind of get a sense when the platform vendor is going to compete with you instead of work with you, and I've had that feeling for Automattic for a while. That's how big companies work with independent devs. There is a bigger picture, developers who might build on WordPres...
