Turns out I was prepared for most of the awfulness. But not all the Jesus. So much Jesus.

First, a summary of its pros and cons. 

Back in 2022 I wrote a bit called textcasting. I felt it was so important it deserved its own domain. Textcasting summarized the wrong turn we took when Twitter took over discourse, basically stripping all the features the web needed to be a great writing environment. Textc...

I never dreamed of writing this piece btw. I guess my dreams got small after a while But I decide now what actual fuck, let's just do it. 

I totally could not have done this without Claude Code. Too many facets, too many parts had to work together perfectly. One old dude and Claude can move the web back to where it always should have been. Not too shabby. ;-)

OK, now shit is about to get even realer. The FIFA World Cup sponsored by FIFA and presented by FIFA is now down to eight teams. If your favorite team isn’t among the last countries standing, that’s tough shit. You must pick a NEW favorite country, and you must do it right this instant or else suffer the consequences.
