Overton window check. Can I say "All hail the Machine God" yet or still too soon, even for San Francisco?

A few weeks ago, I made a website. Last week, I made a website that lets users make websites. Today, I used that website to make a website that lets users make a website live with other users. What a world we live in!

yesss @dina_yrl @nityasnotes forget 10,000-word biotech founder/VC theses. this comic does it. nuff said, let's go!

sometimes my chat search history is a really great snapshot of the kind of person I am

uh oh what have I done

Amazon locker on wheels with temp controlled compartments for autonomous food delivery - anyone doing this?

I forgot to commit my code before leaving work. Do I walk 8 minutes back from home to lab to commit the code so I can pick back up on it from home, or do I just have Cursor + Claude re-write it all? Yikes, I can't believe we're here.

my response to an IP law firm this morning. Sorry, not sorry, some days I just can't keep it in.

I love food, and I think we have solved making tasty food. Other than improving nutrition or sustainability, I see no point in inventing new food. There's already enough variety to keep us all topped up on novelty for our entire lives. Anyone disagree?

I have been playing with a new software development paradigm: sit with the user on a test environment and translate their features/bugs in real time to @cursor_ai agents running in parallel, and as the agents deliver, review with user. Turn a sprint into a jam session

I love music. I love supporting musicians. Also I love the infinite supply of slight variations of generic AI background beats I can get now. Musicians, you cannot meet my insatiable craving for sound that's good enough to modulate my brain but not good enough to distract me =p

If I ran a customer service hotline software company I would do A/B testing of hold music variants and optimize its impact on customer stress and satisfaction. I bet there's signal there, they're really missing an opportunity.

While a part of the world hems and haws about AI risk and capabilities and collapse and AGI, another part of the world quietly chugs along adding these new tools to their arsenal to increase output effectively. Which of these activities will matter a few years from now?

We overfixate on threats from other nations and people. Mortality from war, terrorism and murder is miniscule these days. Something like 1% of deaths. I think we spend so much on prevention here because we believe we can control it more than accidents or health. Seems misguided.

So many things have become extreme, less measured. Thoughts, opinions, stances, actions. "This is the end of that" "This is outrageous" "Anyone who thinks X is Y". I long for restraint, for deliberation, for care. Look at that, I think you can even do it in 280 characters.

My recent experience with crypto: 1. Someone paid me for dinner 6 months ago with $35 of USDC on Solana. I had to download an app and save some key. 2. I slowly see my money go down every month 3. Coinbase tells me I need to convert to BTC because... reasons. My money goes down from a transaction fee 4. Coinbase retires their app, says I need their new Base app. My balance shows $0 because it's a new "wallet" 5. Base app doesn't accept BTC so I have to convert back to USDC to transfer my own money from my coinbase wallet to the wallet on the Base app. Of course, there's a transaction fee. My money goes down. 6. I'm down to $20. I haven't done anything other than repeatedly be inconvenienced. I know crypto may be the future. But this is awful. Even techno optimists like me will abandon technologies with this kind of user experience.

Every few weeks, some new tool forcibly steals screen real estate in my development environment away from actual code. I fight back, but the assault continues. I will not go quietly. I will desperately glimpse my code through a final dimming single character porthole if I have to
