Claude is much better at starting from scratch with a big piece of code than humans are. It can suck in a full app and all its dependencies and a few seconds. For me, I would never get there. A finished piece of software is much bigger than people think, because the details are mostly pretty well hidden. But if you want to work on the code, you have to worry about it all. But I just had a minute to ask Claude why I made a certain decision, and it found the answer in its notes and then I remembered it. This is one of many ways it rewrites the rules of building software out of a big library of components.

 Fly, Man

When I was a fly I was often waved away from picnics and al-fresco tables, from all the places where the good food was. Now I am a man it is much the same, though once in a while I am invited to sit and have my glass filled.

This podcast is called MacWrite for the web. A coral reef for writing. I think the pieces are coming. We just need a little Ice-nine.

On Twitter: "I envision a network of twitter-like systems built out of components of the web and nothing more. Every part replaceable."

The only twitter-like system that does text right is Elon Musk's X. I find that somewhat ironic. It's also the only twitter-like system where there's any kind of an actual community. They also have an API that works, has been around for more than a couple of years, and doesn't have a W3C working group messing with it. There's a lot of hype flying around, and we don't have any real journalists covering it so there is no real source of truth. I think the entrepreneurial twitter-likes should stop thinking in terms of owning the web and start adding back the text features the original Twitter thought the web didn't need, over 20 years ago.

Remember: The “f” in xenophobia stands for “fun”

Some time ago the US government announced that they will de-classify UFO sightings material from the 50s and 60s. This caused quite the stir amongst conspiracy theorists but also plain sci-fi fans like me. They did, and – of course – the results were not that insightful. A few days ago the government also released […]

 Downpour

Outside, people were hurrying along beneath newspapers. This confused Graham, since few people take a newspaper these days, and since it wasn't raining. He waited impatiently for the lift to arrive, and to carry him down, and to open its doors on the ground floor. Then he stepped

I Got $4.84 From a Class Action Settlement and They Really, Really Didn't Want Me to Have It

So here's the thing. When a company loses a class action lawsuit and has to pay millions to regular people, they don't just write you a check. They go out of their way to make sure you never actually get to spend your cut. I'

The End of Language Wars?

I remember not too long ago the many debates over which language to use for data / analytics - R or Python? There were many passionate arguments for why you should choose one over the other. Today, that dust has largely settled. R is more niche and is used for statistical an...
