📝 New post continuing this weeks' theme about a guy who walks around NYC wearing a prouction studio on his back and then he passes a mic around and people rap and how it brings me a lot of joy.

The repo has:

📖 Explainers for the templating API and DOM scheduler API
🏗️ Full prototype implementations
⚗️ a JSX transform
⚛️ a mini React-like framework

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.

A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.

U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

Got ~7 kids in the house. Wouldn't change it for the world. It's fun to be the house where kids end up.

Some of y'all know @peruvianidol.com from #designsystems stuff. Mike's doing a 24-hour stream raising money a children's hospital. He's ~$1500 away from his goal. It'd be cool if you could help out and pitch in a few bucks.

Does anyone use project/dependency-specific MCPs? How do you use it? What sorts of questions do you ask? In what ways does it improve the Claude/Copilot/agentic experience? Where do you include it in your project/prompt-chain ? (Not a trap, genuinely curious)

A guidebook on blocking:

- Block people! It feels great. Even based on vibes.
- Blocklists are awesome.
- Get blocked? Ouch. That hurts. Either earn the unblock or accept that there'll be haters in life.
- Get blocklisted? Big ouch. Do the above but maybe internalize it a bit more.

Blessings.
