Building an AI Analyst, One Football Argument at a Time

One of my biggest pet peeves is the Monday morning quarterback, the person who second-guesses every coaching decision after the fact. In The Monday Morning Agent, we’re building one that actually checks the data. Every other Monday, I’ll take an argument NFL fans can’t stop having and hand it to an AI agent. We’ll use […]

When Trusted WordPress Tools Become the Way In

Keep WordPress updated. Use reputable plugins. Download them from official sources. That’s familiar advice, and there are good reasons for it. But what happens when the official plugin package contains malware? Or when an attacker can send commands using a remote-management key your site already trusts? The Rank Math PRO and UpdraftCentral incidents in October […]

Working on more layout fixes for the iPhone Duo. I’m not sure Apple made the right trade-offs with the design of this thing. Vertical nav controls still feel weird. And with the device backordered for months, hard to justify the time to rethink everything.

I would like to have one day when Claude Code doesn't fuck everything up by doing things it is explicitly prohibited from doing. I find things that were changed in critical parts of the program, that were indefensible. One of the things we're doing is trying to establish a language for frontmatter for Markdown files that are meant to be displayed by a browser. It just invented one, gave it wrong default. I have to find these things on my own. And what happens when it wipes out a site without checking with me first. It has done this, this year. The journalists are being led by the nose by the industry to the dramatic problems, without any detail. But this must be plaguing every shop that uses the AIs to make software that depends on no one fucking with it. And that is basically every piece of software ever written.
