* Replace MacBook with any high-end machine that requires a bunch of configuration for local dev. And replace iPad with any thin client that’s much more portable and convenient, eg glasses that display a screen and Bluetooth keyboard. Why

We are certainly approaching the point where a high end MacBook Pro for development isn’t required. Feels very close to just being able to use an iPad? My current workplace deploy on Vercel, we already test actively on feature branches and

Interesting timing for me personally as I just switched from running Codex in multiple tabs in Cursor to Ghostty. It had nicer fonts by default, better tab switching that was consistent with the keyboard shortcut to switch to any tab on Mac

My collection of art, philosophy and poetry apps. They have previously just been on iOS but I just finished the Kotlin port of the art one, so will be releasing that soon. The poetry one is react native. Art and philosophy ones are swift&#x

Humble plug for my poetry app. When I was getting into poetry I was reading a lot of them online but found the majority of sites to have awful designs with garish ads that completely detracted from the poem. So I wrote a scraper which downl

You could make a similar argument for self-driving cars. We would have got there quicker if the roads were built from the ground up for automation. You can try to get the world on board to change how they do roads. Or make the computers ada

I think this hits the nail on the head. Obviously a lot of the participants in this discussion are programmers, so there is going to be a fair amount of bias where people feel like their self-worth is being attacked/devalued. That bein

This does sound like a test that is almost "set up to fail" for an LLM. If the answer is something that most people think they know, but actually don't then it won't pass in an LLM which is essentially a distillation of

One of my favourite books is Huysman’s Against Nature, where the anti-hero protagonist has a fascination with these paintings. Oscar Wilde used that book as the inspiration for the book that corrupts Dorian in The Picture of Dorian Grey. Ag

For anyone looking to explore poetry a bit further, I did create an app for this purpose. The design, development and curation of the app is all done by me. It’s a react native app which I actually find hugely rewarding to work on (it provi
