Code for the People
@codeforthepplJun 23
This isn't the internet we were promised, and some promises are worth keeping. Code for the People, a documentary short about the open web and the humans behind it, drops July 9. Free to stream, unlike some things.

It was built to be open. Owned by everyone. Controlled by no one. So what changed? Code for the People is a new documentary short featuring the builders of @WordPress and the open web. Trailer coming soon. #codeforthepeople #opensource

Introducing the Printing Press, a CLI-factory and a CLI-library. Built with @trevin. 🏭🖨📚 Most APIs suck for agents. Most MCPs suck for agents. Most official CLIs suck for agents. They waste tokens and time. @steipete started making his own because of this. 📚 A Library of agent-native CLIs you install today (Linear, ESPN, Flight GOAT (Google Flights + Kayak nonstop), Contact Goat (LinkedIn + Happenstance + Deepline more) +30+ more) 🏭 A factory that prints new ones for any service - just type /printing-press <product name> CLIs are fast, local, SQLite-backed. Work in Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes. 🌐 printingpress.dev

I knew there was a chance the popcorn 🍿 tub would be refilled with more Warner bros/Discovery deal drama. Paramount’s 8%+ premium hostile takeover bid over Netflix certainly did.
