   I can't recall the title, but a friend was recommending to me a book in this genre. I'm probably misremembering, but here you go: a detective agency using an artificial intelligence to conjure demons.

   Check out https://futureofcoding.org if you haven't. When I watched Liber Indigo, my first thought was that it would be a great intro to the type of problems that community is messing with*. * future of computing, esoteric&

   Can you recommend any books/biographies/documentaries about Woz? Ideally, more focused on him than Jobs.

    Thanks! And yes, although the same idea applies to Ensō in general. Looking at the feedback from people, I see two camps: those who rely on autocomplete and those who abhor it. I normally use it in two ways: - quickly turn it on/off wh

    Because of a HN post( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44421776 ), I've got a ton of feedback for Ensō: my writing app for flow/stream of consciousness writing. So, I'm wrapping up the release and adding go

    noted, thanks! I'm VERY conservative with adding new UI elements, especially those introducing new possible sources of distractions, so I might hide it behind a bunch of menus. That said, I've spent ages yak shaving / working

    It's great if you want to "think aloud but with your mouth shut". I wrote 7k words with it just thinking through a problem. The exact word count is meaningless of course -- my main point is that it was really easy to just sit
