Need to write an announcement post for a feature that landed in our Early Access Program (a mini dashboard to track project's progress). I think that "Best of Queensrÿche" will work just fine for the project 👌

Now that I read an article that described what Virtual Users are and how they can be used for team member and client onboarding, I'm a bit sad that it came as a smaller part of a big release (ActiveCollab v8). It's such a great feature by itself! activecollab.com/blog/product/o…

Crazy thing about these stats is that I mostly listen to audio books while driving. Alone! That's a lot of alone time behind the wheel.

Microsoft does it best. They start with "Microsoft is committed to improving your Microsoft 365 subscription", and then continue by saying that they are removing one service (no replacement), and one product (sort of replaced). How…? Never mind…

"The IoT industry isn’t focused on making great products—it’s focused on trapping consumers into ecosystems" We built a new, modern family house in 2018. There's not a single smart home device in it. When old tech's better than new, I just pass. crazystupidtech.com/archive/the-il…

MCP server development feedback loop: 1. Imagine app XYZ publishes an MCP server; write me N prompts how a typical user would use it 2. Now study my MCP server, can you run the scenarios that you proposed? 3. Fix shortcomings 4. Repeat 🔁

AI is multi-tasking amplifier: "I'm frequently finding myself with work on two or three projects running parallel. I can get so much done, but after just an hour or two my mental energy for the day feels almost entirely depleted." simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/9/ai-…
