Great news is that it’s easier than ever to build all of these skills. If I was just starting my career I’d try to get competent at all of these as fast as I can. The best way is 1) immersing yourself in good products to build taste and 2) building as much as you can.

Building is easier than ever but finding customers is in many ways harder. I suspect this is why many feel like it’s become harder to be an indie developer. New channels (like the early web/google, or the App Store in the movie era) only come up every so often, and get saturated

What no one talks about: there is massive inequality of productivity—and of talent, drive, character and work ethic. This is why there is inequality of wealth. If you’re concerned with wealth gaps, get curious about productivity gaps.

Trust is built in drops and lost in buckets. 1Password has access to every web page you visit, but was trusted not to mess with its contents. I’m sure this is an accidental bug, but it makes you think about how much of an attack vector these browser extensions are, and if they

And then there are architects: people who love building systems. Architects care about elegance too, just not at the line level—at the system level. They love AI tools too, but they don’t use them like vibe coders. Because their code is load-bearing, they care about the product

Also, real estate taxes are effectively a tax on exclusive control of a scarce non-produced resource (land). Taxing land doesn’t reduce the amount of land produced. Taxing unrealized equity gains taxes uncertain future success. The supply of risk capital and effort is elastic,

Who’s building a remote for cursor? I want to control multiple local agents running on a Mac from my iPhone.

very cool, but not sure how i feel about streaming terminal access to my mac through a third-party server. something like this should ideally be peer-to-peer.

I’d been the same for me but I don’t know how someone joining in 2026 could get close to the same signal to noise ratio many long time users have. I heard the new user experience is brutally bad. (To be fair it sucked during prime Twitter days too.)

It’s hard to treat a note taking app that does it out of the box seriously.

even better: do while you move. if you aren’t orchestrating 5 claude code instances while running a triathlon yagmi

It’s 5pm on a Sunday and shipped 19 PRs today. What times we live in.

No other way to hone taste.

i've been using mac os since 2006 (tiger) and this is the first time i've held off upgrading. so much stuff is just plain broken or ugly.

before claude code was a thing, shipping required steep engineering and teams were forced into discipline. they spoke to customers, did their diligence, and stayed lean. because the cost of building the wrong thing was months of wasted work. the friction made a strong filter.

If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design

Is everyone out today? How come is the GitHub outage not in the timeline?
