I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

I know I ask you to visit the feedback site to report issues. Today, for Friday Feedback, I'm asking folks to go to a specific item and upvote it, if you're interested. Does auto-save and auto-reopen sound interesting? 🙃

The one thing I’ve learned being a developer and then switching to being a PM …
When a developer says they can do it in an hour believe them.
You don’t need to remind them every day for a week.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

I can’t talk to my computer(s). I just can’t push through that barrier
On the phone, “Hey dingus, do thing” is fine. Long-form dictation into Apple Notes, Siri got things scrambled pretty badly last time I tried and kept cutting off 5-10 seconds before a chime telling me that it had done so
