I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI

I love this image by Marion Post Wolcott of farm workers on a 1939 Florida farm.
During the great depression, black, white, and migrant farmers were all pushed from their homes and forced to go from farm to farm looking for work.
A uniquely difficult time brought these various men together.

Conservatives supporting Elon's cutting quests are making a very clear argument right now.
It's okay to ignore the constitution if you believe that what you are doing is important enough.
Just keep that in minds when Democrats are in control again.

Claude’s citations API came just in time for me.
I’ve been working on something that lets users cite sources, and it’s been pretty tricky.

Bolt and Replit agents are cool, but as they are, I would never use them to build my app.
What I like about agents in IDEs is that I own the code, it’s running on my machine, in my environment.
Developing within a web browser kind of sucks.

i’m working on an app and I’ve Been mainly using cursors AI agent.
I’ve been able to do I’ve been able to do about 90% just prompting the agent.
A lesson that I’ve learned is that you just keep needing to give it context. It has pretty limited knowledge of your app at any given moment.

Compelling writers will be more and more valuable as more of the web consists of more AI slop.

The phenomenon of someone using AI to make the thing they’re writing longer and then the reader using AI to summarize something makes me think:
Why can’t we just say what we want to say? Why do we have to add so much fluff?
This was an issue pre-ChatGPT as well, but LLMs have made it more obvious.

Something I think is interesting is how the word “AI” means a different thing to most people than it did a few years ago.
To most people in 2021, AI meant robots. Now it means uncanny images and chat bots.
