Blog & Notes

WALL-E has finally arrived.

I'm on the brink of switching from Arc to Dia. It's clear to me that future browsers are going to have an interface to LLMs (for now). And Dia is at the forefront of this. I'm expecting new browsers from all SOTA AI players in the following weeks.

Another tool I've really enjoyed using lately is backlog.md. It helps me merge my workflow with that of the AI tooling that I'm currently using every day. I've always been a great fan of Markdown, so that was an easy win.

Somo is what netstat should've been. A clean interface to manage network connections and listening ports.

The ability to use tools in unexpected but creative ways is massively underappreciated. Running GitHub Actions as cron jobs that update data in your repository is brilliant. Simon has a trick to run different steps on a schedule.

Go 1.25 will have a new JSON package.

Darwin-Gödel Machines as a foundation for self-improving AI.

Taking a walk without your phone, headphones, or conversation partners is apparently revolutionary enough to become a trend: "Silent Walks". We've reached peak modernity when disconnecting from technology requires a hashtag.

Food for Thought. Thank you to The Guardian.

How color systems actually work, and why OKLCH in CSS is a step forward.

A feature I've always missed in Go is the ability to omit fields with zero values, like time.Time. Well, now you can.

What makes a good human interface?. By Linus Lee.

What a wonderful box of thoughts and ideas. By Andy Matuschak.

Primer is the GitHub design system. The Primer team also has a Design section in the GitHub blog where they e.g. discuss how to approach AI in their product design and the underlying principles.

Maggie Appleton explains underlying design patterns and elements like Ambient Co-presence.

Using an Apple TV as a Tailscale exit node to run a GitHub action is pretty clever.

I never thought that something like TypeScript Go would ever see the light of day. But being a Go native since around 1.0 (that's around 2011), I'm not surprised. I'm not religious about programming languages, but Go, to me, hits a sweet spot, and is nice for writing something like this. Of course, people have difference perspectives.

From the team that brought you Gatsby: Mastra AI. Looking forward to try that out.

Insights into BlueSky's engineering culture: Fully remote, open source first.

Speaking of oldies but goldies: A remarkable rant about the Economic Value of Slack Time.

David Crawshaw basically describes how I work with LLMs as a developer these days.

Detect the actual bundle size of your frontend application with bundlejs.

TIL that Polymarket also has a developer API.
