Wrote about 4 years of using @obsdmd to do self-discovery in markdown files. More than 700 notes later, it's become less about the perfect note-taking system and more about writing regularly to document what life feels like, one draft at a time.

good time for all techbros to embrace the polymath lifestyle be interested and curious about math, robotics, bio, medicine, neuroscience, art, music, design, culture, philosophy, ethics, history we all should be davincimaxxing
very weird thing happening rn technical people are sad, they think their skills are now useless non-technical people are desperately wishing they were more technical so they could use agents better

I’m overwhelmed but also embarrassed by some of the threads going around and need to post corrections, you’re lionising the wrong dude, everyone’s a shithead, I’m proud of my work and good at telling the story but I’m not unique, please go watch tv and spend time with your family

after all the dust has settled, I think only design engineers and research engineers would be left, each directing a swarm of agents ofc.

makes a good case for open access research
A real thing I'm doing now is telling the models to find interesting ideas from published literature that we can productionize to improve our software, it's awesome lol

The moat is being chalant in a sea of nonchalance
The moat is giving a fuck, not being a doomer, and waltzing through life with a smile that gives cynical people extreme pain.

added a shelf page to my website to show my books, just added photos of my irl shelf and asked codex to add artwork and colours by researching the book and it did a pretty good job. junaid.foo/shelf

A man cannot prompt the same agent twice, for it is has compacted and is not the same agent, and he is not the same man

Really want my software factory to do this
we've been having a lot of fun experimenting with interfaces for personal agents. while a lot of the space is converging on messaging, notifications, & text heavy productivity work loads we're much more interested in delight & getting you in & out of ai with just one tap. we like to think of fun questions like what happens when your home screen, ambient displays, & other surfaces become alive with useful, surprising, & context aware experiences? when you travel, it changes. when you arrive somewhere new, it changes. when something interesting is happening around you, it changes. the interface understands where you are & what's going on without constantly demanding your attention. the analogy i use is simple.. we don't really focus on "here are 17 things you need to do" but more "oh, that's cool." we built this for iOS 27 to take full advantage of large surfaces outside of apps & also local models / apple intelligence. you can download it from the app store today. oh you can use this alongside your other messaging assistants too. appreciate you all following along & the endless curiosity about it in the dm's. we are going to add a lot more here shortly. we know this space is very noisy!

managed to write a ~6k word submission for this, took me two weeks, but felt like a new part of my brain got exercised. nice side quest
We received ~100 submissions just last day 😅 Not going to lie: it is VERY satisfying reading through all these non-AI essays written mostly by devs on how they see the industry changing. Human writing + deep thinking >> AI writing You’ll also soon be able to read many of them
