The beauty of having access to coding agents is that you get to create a tool shaped exactly to the problem you're trying to solve. I'm working with some data in a PostgreSQL DB that has a JSONB column. This introduces problems in a typical client: either because only the first few characters of a multi-KB JSON structure is rendered, or the full JSON structure is rendered and it blows out the size of the table.

So I asked Claude Code to make a client that would open the value of JSONB columns in a separate window, nicely formatted and syntax highlighted. I'm using it right now and it's been a godsend. It's hard justifying putting in the time to build this manually for a project that will probably only last a month or so. But asking the agent to do it in a day? Not a problem.

Eric Seufert: ‘Did Apple Just Signal a Third-Party Expansion of Apple Ads?’

mobiledevmemo.com/did-apple-just-signal-a-third-party-expansion-of-apple-ads/

Eric Seufert, Mobile Dev Memo:

The new language could simply accommodate the availability of Apple-owned services on the web and through third-party devices and operating systems; the Apple TV app, for instance, is available on smart TVs, streaming devices, and game consoles. But the addition of “other properties” is conspicuously broad and appears to give Apple the contractual latitude to distribute ads beyond its own services entirely. This would allow for a material expansion of the company’s advertising surface area.

Further, if Apple does indeed plan to expand Apple Ads to third-party surfaces, it would explain why the company did not reveal an update to its AdAttributionKit (AAK, formerly SKAdNetwork, or SKAN) attribution framework at this year’s WWDC.

That would be one way to go.

Gnomedex 5 (2005)

Presenters at this year’s conference include: Adam Curry, Dave Winer, Steve Gillmor, Steve Rubel, Robert Scoble, Marc Canter, John Battelle, Dan Gillmor, and others. Okay, this is the kind of stuff that interests me. If sitting in a conference room for three days listening to people talk about blogging and podasting and RSS and shit like that doesn’t sound like any fun to you… you can start to understand why your idea of a vacation doesn’t make me clap my little hands.
PS: You had to be there.
