I try to be charitable most of the time, but seriously.. fuck this. Also, that finger looks so stretched out that it looks remarkably like a middle finger. Maybe that was intentional. Or maybe I’m projecting.
Just because a laptop screen can accept touch input doesn’t mean you’ll ignore that big old trackpad you still have. Your brain will figure out what is best for what for the way you do it and use the additional modality for the it makes sense to you. It’s additive.
I’m down for this bit of nostalgia.

My first international flight with Starlink! OMG OMG OMG. I may not sleep. I should sleep. I must sleep. But but but.
As I reflect on my last week connecting with old and new friends in tech and talk about what they’re doing as well as what’s happening in tech, one thought that keeps coming to mind is this: the future is less evenly distributed than it has been in a while. Buckle up, buttercup.
Oh hell yes!!! I hope Claude follows suite ASAP.
The more I think about how agents should store context for a user, the more I think there needs to be something under Markdown that really allows for multi-player coordination. Something like Automerge / Pretext that the Markdown an agent sees is a projection of.
You know you’re in SF when you’re in a cafe overhearing people talk about moats and the various tech demigod heroes they have that they want to be like while a bus rolls covered in an orange “region: earth” wrap. Even with all of its issues, I still love this place.

Amazing how quickly we went from "oh no LLMs are going to flood the Internet with insecure code" to "oh no LLMs have discovered the internet was already flooded with insecure code"
Everyone says that they want security to be a priority in software, but in organizations, this means funding it in competition with other priorities, which usually isn’t easy in my experience. In any case, now’s the second best time to fund it.
This has always been true in software, but the rate of change passed a threshold that makes it a lot more noticeable (and uncomfortable) for a lot more people than before.
If you don’t enjoy learning new things, even things that contradict what you think is right: you’ve decided (consciously or unconsciously) to leave this industry
One reason I have eg massive respect for @KentBeck who is my role model for lifelong learning and adapting
I’ve been wondering if the iPhone Duo was best thought of as a mini iPad that folded and happened to have a screen on the outside. All of the use cases I’m excited about are after the open.
It's been a lot of fun trying the Duo out for a week, but it feels like I've gotten to use an extraordinarily polished prototype — not a finished product that I'd want to buy and carry.

Big Hugops to everyone I know in SRE or Security. Or, hell, anybody that’s responding to the day’s infosec earthquakes.
I often think of and maybe even miss og 4sq.
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…
