Partly because of iOS. When I save a new password on iOS, it's always the native Passwords app that offers to save it, not 1Password, and that neuters the usability of 1Password to me.

Used the holiday break to update my site: kstewart.me
Every time I attempted this in the past the static site generator I used broke at some point in the process and I gave up in frustration.
This time, I had Claude do all the grunt work and now I have a beautiful new site powered by @11ty.dev 💜

Y'all want to vote your way out of this mess in 2026 and 2028. But some of y'all are still pushing "tough on crime?" candidates?
Good luck with that.
"Tough on crime" is a euphemism for "super racist."
As I said would happen, crime is *decreasing* in Baltimore and Chicago with *fewer* cops.

Nothing controversial here. If you have AI write a bunch of code that you don’t understand then you’ll have a bad time.

Dude is totally going to announce The Purge before the end of his presidency isn’t he? All crime is legal for a day totally sounds like a Trump policy position at this point.
I can already see the Washington Post op-ed about all the police paperwork it saves.
