I’m also thinking about chat as an interface.
Text chat is a crap interface for many tasks. It has no affordances. It’s often very slow. There’s cognitive load. And with LLMs involved there’s the possibility of the wrong thing being done.
Plus… like… just LEARN TO DO THINGS!
Today I’m thinking about product release cycles.
How Jev arrived and it will quickly be ripped off by one of the LLM houses.
How Meta’s Muse arrived and we already have OpenAI’s Dots as a response.
Everyone has to do the same thing as quickly as possible. Just because we can!
New models arrive every week. Just because we can. And orgs want to own to own the news cycle.
And what of these things will be here next year? MS’s Recall is dead. Sora video is dead.
The “more” of everything is relentless and stupid.
I should probably write down more of my thoughts. They’re really quite interesting. Well, I think so, at least.
The best I can say about how I feel today is: gosh I’m glad my wife and I didn’t have this virus at the same time!!! 🤒😭
UK WordPress folks… 😃
This is an excellent and reasonable take on programming with LLMs. Sums up a lot of what I think about it.
This is a very good point. Anthropic are arguing for AI rights. But we should do human rights properly first.

This is such a brilliant idea. I’m gonna do this for sure.
Plant fans:
These have started growing in my garden. Never seen them before.
Closest I’ve got to an ID is that they might be Silver Fir seedlings.
Any other good options?
I’m open minded and want to hear different points of view. So I watched DHH at his conference.
He seems to have lost any critical thinking that he once had.
OR
He’s deliberately ignoring some stuff.
You can’t present the “logical choice” when you’ve not considered any downsides in depth.
Yes yes yes! Saw someone bragging this morning that they shipped 70 days out of the last 100 or something.
WHY??? What did you make that needs a new release on 7 out of 10 days? I don’t want that.
Think first. Build later. Stop when you’re done.
The thing I find weird about the politics-in-tech stuff is the total lack of self-reflection. No one seems to think “Oh, other people don’t like that? I wonder why?”
It’s all “Ignore the haters and move on”.
The incuriosity itself seems very anti-engineering.
That itself is a red flag in tech.
I know this is a very “meta” challenge to really awful stuff. But I find the psychology side of things pretty interesting.
I’m kinda surprised that my social feeds here aren’t discussing Typesafe/Jev AI.
I’m very curious what others think.
It seems less ethically dubious and much more efficient, bridging AI recognition and deterministic output.
I’m surprised coders aren’t excited about this.
Am I missing something?
@anilineapps I just noticed that the Indigo MacOS app has a timeline search (top right!) – does this exist in the iOS app? I can’t find it.
Oh. I always wondered how this happened. Didn’t realise it was so simple!
I have a saying: “Maturity is more about knowing _when_ to be grown up than _how_ to be grown up.
The when/how thing is important and applies to other areas of life and work too.
Excellent AI commentary: “China probably has a vested interest in everyone on earth not dying”
😂
That wasn’t as coherent as I wanted it to be. It’s too late. Good night!
