Had a kind of surreal experience today with claude code... - started it in a tmux session with full access on my computer - had it build scripts/skills for read/write access to my email, iMessages, notes, etc. - had it turn itself into a daemon with proper permissions - had it

“If you let constraints define the space too early, you do not just get a worse outcome. You lose outcomes that never get discovered.”

Is ChatGPT coming or your Job? How will AI effect the future of teaching and learning? We don't have all the answers but we'd love to share what we've learned with you this Thursday at noon. Join us for a short lunch hour talk: "Designing for the Internet 2 & 3/4"

Quitting programming as a career right now because of LLMs would be like quitting carpentry as a career thanks to the invention of the table saw.

I really miss .swf (shockwave flash) as a format. Literally a chain of bezier paths. Scale to any resolution. Oh, and it loads progressively with its own virtual machine (ActionScript Bytecode). No modern filetype comes close. Vector video was a special era.

"I ain't reading all that..." auto-suggest edition.

So cool to see all the accessibility experts + visionary empaths on here who know bad accessibility when they see AND how Steve Jobs would have felt about it.

Products with extensive/rich UIs lots of sliders, switches, menus, with no scripting support, and built on opaque, custom, binary formats are ngmi in the era of heavy human+AI collaboration. If an LLM can't read the underlying representations and manipulate them and all of the

Surprised literate programming hasn't made a comeback with LLMs in play.
