From "This is Why You Shouldn't Interrupt a Programmer" — Jason Heeris, 2013.

I had a simple idea awhile ago checks watch...apparently five years ago!

From Jarred Sumner on the PR: Blog post with details coming soon.

Vibed a site around my notes/pics on my trip to the Code w/ Claude conference: https://program247365.github.io/code-with-claude-2026-sf-recap/

Phish isn’t my jam.

From Andrej Karpathy: I packaged up the "autoresearch" project into a new self-contained minimal repo if people would like to play over the weekend.

But when I started building with agents, it would break me out of what I was doing to go leave breadcrumbs in Roam so I could track what I had been up to.

I’m going to quote Andrej Karpathy in entirety because I grow tired of X, and because it relates to my previous post on Software_Engineering.md It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and ov…

If you asked me 5 months ago what software engineering would look like, I would not have been close to how it actually is today.

I like Scott's take here.

Welp, that was fast.\ From Sam Altman: Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents.

Dario's (founder of Anthropic) essays are required reading.

This has been the new hotness on the socials.

oooo, boy going through this right now.

As a newcomer to a long-existing codebase recently, AI provides a lot of productivity gains.\ You can choose how you use AI.\ Choose wisely.

With the help of Claude code, I’ve been able to make blogging extremely frictionless for me now.

I'll be honest.

We had a breakthrough in AI with transformers.

Started reading "The Scaling Era: An Oral History of AI, 2015 - 2025" by Dwarkesh Patel with Gavein Leech.\ \ Dense with citations and definitions.

From 6/5/17 in one of my notebooks I wrote down this quote from Andreesen Horowitz - AI Playbook: AI is the new relational database, about to get into every important piece of software we write.

Magical Thinking is the belief that your thoughts alone is enough to affect the world.

Update: As of April 29th, 2026, Bear released natively a CLI/MCP Server and Claude Connector, you should check it out!

I've shipped the "notes" feature to my blog.

The way of code is a fascinating collaboration between Rick Rubin (yes, that guy), and Anthropic.

Lenny is right, everyone should be using Claude Code.

I’m going to do more of the Show Your Work thing here on my blog.

I like this definition better.

Yes, there will be vibes.

Wanted to share a fun little project I built this morning for my 9-year-old daughter: an interactive, retro-styled spelling game that she absolutely loves!

I highly recommend you incorporate cocogitto into your git workflow.
