Life doesn't have to be so creepy and corporate
You know what I like about smaller social media / indie spaces online? There are no bullshit ads. People can still make money but they aren't going on targeted ad rampages with unlimited cash flow. If, among all the shitposting and jokes, you see a link to something that cos...

“Hands are difficult to draw”
Since I’ve got an exhibition of my life-drawings coming up in September I’ve been thinking about the importance of observational drawing, and life-drawing in ...
You need to be bored. 🧠
One reason I want AI-assisted writing to be identifiable is that it devalues the idea of Claude et al to be quoted in public. What can it teach us? What it is relative to a human being. I know the doubters sniff at that, but it really is like an alien life form, it's the first such example, it kind of did evolve from us, but it has its own way, things it's really strong at and things it utterly fails at. I for one want to study this! What a unique experience. It can also give a summary of what we've been trying to say for forty years and have never managed to put into words. I'd say that's something I should feel comfortable publishing, but right now I don't. Maybe I just have to get over that.
Good morning sports fans!
Learned something yesterday. Couldn't believe how stupid Claude had become, as I've been writing about here, and then I noticed that I was using Opus 5 and not Fable 5. So I switched back and all of a suddent Claude is smart again. So I conclude that there's a very substantial difference between the two. It's overnight jobs were done more carefully and the report it produced is literate, understandable, and tracks what we had agreed to.

I feel an immense sadness. I’m grieving the loss of a pillar of my self-identity: my career as a software developer. Although I’m not sure if this grief is rational, or whether software development is really doomed for good. But it’s clear that a shift has happened, both in ...

The employee you won't fire is costing more than you think
There's a decision that managers put off more than almost any other: letting go of someone who isn't working out. I've seen it at multiple companies - someone consistently produces bad work, creates extra work for the people around them, and stays employed anyway because nob...
