The funniest line from a Stratechery update by far, “Will I get an advertisement for F1 if I exceed the speed limit using Apple Maps?”—that had me immediately break out in laughter. 😆

Between a stimulus and our response to it, there’s a space. And in that space lies our power to choose how we respond.

In the relevant Apple OS 26 variant the Apple Fitness app on Apple TV connecting to my Apple Watch Ultra is a regression from the previous OS. I now have to open the Workout app on my watch and sometimes force quit it to be seen on the Apple TV. Not good.

"Perfect! Now I have the full picture. Let me provide you with a comprehensive optimization plan."
Nothing makes me MORE skeptical of what comes after.

Again, ChatGPT's 4.5's ability to refine writing is unparalleled. I might be able to get there with. GPT 5 but it'll require much more prompting.

Tomorrow I will test the AirPods Pro 3 and find out of Apple will change my opinion that Bluetooth microphones are among the worst sounding microphones I've ever heard in my life. Stay tuned.

Finally switched fully to my Moonlander. Split keyboards once felt out of reach, until it clicked. I type fast and don’t look at keys, but this was harder than expected—mentally remapping keys slows me down. Still, I’m happier, and my shoulders thank me daily.

Just finished “Apple in China.” I’ve disagreed with many Apple decisions; this book connects the dots and reshaped my understanding. Patrick McGee’s storytelling is top-notch. Highly recommended!

I don’t start by making things simple; I sit patiently with the complexity, mapping out edge cases and user mental models until the elegant patterns surface. Only then do I craft intuitive systems that simplify complexity into experiences that feel inevitable.

Absolutely loving my new Moonlander keyboard! I had to hit backspace more times writing this than on a normal layout but my shoulders, wrist and fingers are so much happier using this keyboard. ❤️

I agree with DHH. The decade‑long churn in frameworks and tools from 2010 - 2020 sucked. It was incredibly painful.

I’m not intimidated by being around people smarter than me—I’m inspired by them, seeing each interaction as an opportunity to learn, grow, and amplify my own potential.

When GPT-4.5 is retired, OpenAI and ChatGPT will no longer provide a model nearly as effective for refining written drafts. It's exceptionally good at clarifying my thinking during the revision stage, delivering unmatched quality in refined writing.

During high traffic time I could understand why this happens, but at 4AM I am getting this message, too? It's obvious OpenAI has been having issues with the ChatGPT in recent months.
