If you want to get an idea of the kind of user interface you can create using Claude Code, with a driver (me) who has ample experience developing such things, have a look at demo.rss.chat. The UI was entirely done by Claude with me directing, very fine-tuning stuff. Claude can't really grok user interfaces because it is not visual and it is not a user. It might be able to test them, to some extent. Anyone can create an account on the demo server, that's what it's there for. And if something interesting breaks out there, that would be even better. I even tolerate a small amount of spam, and testing is definitely allowed (that's why it's there). ;-)

Blustery afternoon on path to Greenside, mostly blue sky. Despite the wind a few butterflies, peacocks, painted lady, red admiral & a few speckled woods. Goldfinch in the meadowsweet. A raven circled high in the blue. The news reported less speckled woods this year, but I’ve seem more than ever.

There are problems people aren't talking about, that are immediate, and go against all the security practices the web has been built on. Here's a story of what happened in my setup in mid-August. First fact, Claude Code (CC) is different from regular Claude in that it is us...

I have used the HCL Connections automation project for years. I abandoned my own Ansible roles for deploying Connections and switched to it. The project works, but it misses some basic practices: it stores passwords in clear text, and its variable inheritance makes environment-specific settings hard to follow.

I am experimenting with gathering links with rss.chat here. I am pulling a rough post together for some of the links gathered there. Education This looks like a very interesting book. As important as her deep reporting on the tech industry’s ruthlessness are Singer’s profiles of the inspiring cadre of academics, educators, and activists who […]

Managers tell you where you are. Leaders, all leaders, tell you where you’re going.

A productive team knows itself. They do not care who gets the credit for the work because they want the work to get done well by the most qualified humans with the best judgment.

By fostering the belief that the managers are the only leaders, you create hierarchy. We must go to a higher power to ask for permission. Hierarchy creates silos. We own this, and they own that. Silos often create politics. Their mission is the only mission. Our mission is lesser.

Critical information making its way slowly to the humans who need it the most is the source of much of your organizational consternation.

Two yards from the bus stop and twenty from the school, a man crouches, one hand bracing on the railing. Behind him is a girl almost as tall as he is, with a fluffy blue hairband and delight in her eyes. She climbs onto his back, and he stands, face

So good. So, so good.

Finished watching: 🎥 Wildcat - better than expected and fun. It lost the plot in the final 15 to 20 minutes - but don’t they all? Definitely take a watch if you are looking and into the ‘all action’ genre.
