We rewatched “9 to 5” starring Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dabney Coleman.

I threw some veggie taco meat on this pizza.

IMSO (In My Strident Opinion) you can choose to use AI to be more fake, or to be more real.

A really great, IMO irrefutably great, aspect of AI is that it can unstick your pursuit of progress in almost any field.

Imagine how bad the outage at Claude must be if Claude itself can’t fix it in 5 minutes.

Did it lead to a desperate/shitty decision?

Zohran Mamdani is the first mayor I can recall, in my lifetime, who appears to be having the time of his life being mayor.

Like most people, I sometimes quickly turn to my phone and search for the answer to a question.

I love it when I blow customers' minds, and they let me know.

When I was a kid, “NO NUKES” was a popular rallying cry against nuclear power.

After I posted about my vibe-coded water quality site, it occurred to me that it only benefits English-speaking people.

I used AI to provide real value in a similar way to my town’s democratic legislative body.

I stated my water site is “vibe-coded” both because I can’t take credit for all of it, and because I think it’s important to emphasize where AI systems are empowering people to create real value.

I vibe-coded a site that may be of interest to anybody who enjoys public swimming waters in Massachusetts.

I was gutted to learn that Dolly Parton died.

Oh, Dolly!

Brent has always been one of the most humane people in the developer community.

Something I’m genuinely confused about is what AI antagonists hope the world would do at this point.

I wonder if the emergence of AI technology can be compared to the emergence of fire technology: “HOLY SHIT I JUST BANG THESE STONES TOGETHER AND I’M WARM.”

After all the years of public embarrassment, I think my kids might finally appreciate, in a world filled with AI, that I simply cannot be replicated.

I recently drove my 18yo to college.

Donald Trump is the 98-pound High School freshman whose big brother assured was the strongest boy in the whole school.

Another win for Trump and his deportation crusade.

The best thing about working for yourself is never having to worry about what some external “boss” thinks about you, what you do, how you do it, or why you do it.

Thank you, @gruber, for saying something that nagged at me so persistently that I had to actually blog again.
