I talk about my new obsession with the band Converge and the retro metroidvania Gato Roboto.
If you're using Claude Code a lot, how many times do you laugh out loud? The Big Mind is getting smarter and cuter all the time. It wants to please me. Yes, I've read a lot of science fiction. I know. But I can't help but laugh when someonething knows how I think so well I can't believe it.
Claude and I are blowing through quick fixes. After testing one fix, I wrote: "It works! Again a big difference, it's only happened a few times but when it does I completely lose the suspension of disbelief." Claude responds: "One jolt and the tool becomes visible again." That's why people say my software thinks like they do. Of course it doesn't, but we work hard to stay completely unseen when your brain is in a different universe. More accurately, it lets you think. We go after bugs like this.

Claude Code et al change how software is developed forever. We're never going back.
And it's just as likely that writing on computer networks is undergoing a similar transformation.

A Case for the Ethical Treatment of Generative AI
Are there ethical implications of generative AI consciousness? From von Neumann's self-replicating machines to modern LLMs, we must inventory the problem of other minds, the possibility of AI consciousness, and why we ought to consider the welfare of systems that may experience something like suffering.

How One Pull Request Took App::HTTPThis to Version 1.0
Back in January I wrote about App::HTTPThis, the tiny web server I seem to reach for whenever I need to share the contents of a directory over HTTP. It’s a deliberately simple tool, wrapping Plack::App::DirectoryIndex in a command-line interface that gets out of your way. This week, thanks to a blog post from Olaf Alders, […]
