⇧⌘F tasks are a type of coding I hand off to AI assistants more and more.

☑️ mostly involve finding references
☑️ need little context
☑️ can be described in a few sentences

The action to take is typically straightforward:

• delete obsolete logic
• change a type and all its references, etc

Using an LLM to recommend similar tags to merge

My Pinboard subscription expired so I decided to build my own personal bookmarking tool. Some highlights:

- Web scraping the title and description
- Using an LLM (Claude Haiku) to suggest the tags
- CSS view transitions (spot the ⊕ icon transition?)
- Cloudflare Pages & Functions

Using a state machine to manage complex routing logic in form wizards is an idea I had while working on govt. projects. Being able to visualize the branching paths, using what's actually in code, is like having a superpower.

I wrote a bit about the approach: www.sawyer.soy/blog/routing...

Still think we need a syntax for time-mentions, similar to @-mentions, for inserting smart times that change depending on the reader's timezone. Someone at Slack please build this.
