If we can get Drake Maye to stop eating strawberries now, well… it’s difficult to imagine what is possible.

Let’s take out an event contract on when Obama will have an AI song accidentally on his list.

I’m selling 2027 for $0.15 and 2030 for $0.80.

It is impossible to say this without sounding pretentious but: in school I was always in the top of classes and it was always me and almost-exclusively girls. Every honors class, AP class, anything stuffy in college: me and girls.

Bernie Sanders wants to divert your attention and energy away from making a difference in anyone’s lives toward one more hopeless and misguided cause that is more likely to stoke regression than progress. Leave us alone, populists.
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.

The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

I think that this kind of dunking is insidious. It encourages people to not grapple with any of the negative externalities that are barreling toward us. It’s Jimmy Fallon ruffling Trump’s hair. I think sharing this stuff is a little—a tiny little—bit of cognitive violence against your audience.
For anyone worried AI will replace all of us.

All I can see on Bluesky and Mastodon are people who would rather reign in Hell.

Two major highways have washed away in western Washington in the last week. Hello? Anyone? Is this thing on?

In a vacuum I think the EU should have the sovereignty to regulate their economy as they see fit. In reality I don’t really care about the EU—New Mexico is more important to me than Denmark. And in reality, the EU is driving US Big Tech into the hands of the administration, which is bad for me.

Zed and Claude Code are the only pieces of software in my life where I have ever sought out the release notes. Every day is Christmas.

Jensen Huang actually does deserve to win Time’s Person of the Year for opening up China’s GPU market to NVIDIA. No one benefitted themselves more than Jensen Huang, which is why he is number one.

Unless Opus 4.5 is the literal wall, I don’t expect to write much more code in my life by hand. I guess.

Xcode 26 should’ve been 26code.

I have released a new Claude Code plugin: Apple Platform Build Tools.

It exposes an Agent Skill—comprehensive examples for using xcodebuild and swift—and a Subagent that can use the Agent Skill to build and test projects and report the results to the main agent.

I have released a new Agent Skill: The Unofficial Swift Concurrency Migration Skill.

This is a repackaging of the Swift Concurrency Migration Guide from Apple. It is available as a plugin for Claude Code or a downloadable Skill for other environments.
