GAH - not been adding ratings to the movie reviews. 🖇️ Fixed

Been a while since I have visited the Star Wars Universe - but I watched 🎥🔗 The Mandalorian and Grogu last night … lovely.

👁️ I just used Siri to create a new shortcut and boom. Years of frustration out of the window.

Here's a screen shot of a new verb we just added, to facilitate nightly backups. I want to save off a fresh copy of frontier.root every night, as well as my guest databases. This is how that will work.

Frontier news. I have been working on a repo for Frontier pioneers, I started with a few friends, including Brent and Jake who were both on the UserLand team, and have added people very slowly. This is a good time to start showing progress in the project. Still very early for a public release of the software. And I want to do even better than we did with rss.chat a few months ago. And Frontier is a huge thing, all kinds of docs, and archives, and example stuff. It really was 15 years of work done by as many as 5 people.

New verb: string.addressToString. This is how I'm releasing examples.

Chigurgh: "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?" Frontier must've lived by a good rule. The Atlantis version has tons of bugs but it works. It defied death. I just spent a session updating my nightly backup code, and there were awkard moments. The debugger isn't in yet. The Find command doesn't work. But I have hobbled my way to working code, and I have help debugging with Claude, and it is amazing at that. Frontier didn't know that Claude was going to save its life. More proof that you never know what is just around the corner.

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.

much right, some wrong. either way, watch folks lose their m07h3f-cking minds.

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.
