"But if we have learned nothing else, we have learned this: humans can walk away from, and forget, anything.”
One of my two notes from reading the first edition.
I’m intrigued by your comments on the improvements, but wondering if that means reading v1 before v2.
My accountant has dealt with all this. The absence of worry is beginning to concern me.
I’m going to start telling people that the G in GPT stands for gullible
I want to build a .org tech stack and suck the oxygen out of the current tech h industry by designing ecosystems that support healthy communities, including individuals, local journalism, civic participation, and small businesses.
Who is thinking about this that I should connect with?
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
Asking Awkward Questions As A Service is back for IWD.
If you'd like me to ask an awkward question of your employer (or former employer) this weekend, nominate them here 👇

So many possible responses to that!
One can argue that the term content has been largely structured to mean “that awkward fuzzy stuff between code and design”
Do it!
The spreadsheet will thank you!
Definitely one of my thoughts too - why write one-size fits all when AI can tailor to unimaginable formats/locations/needs - except at what risk?
Occasionally, the words “I’ll be the judge of that” escape my mouth as my eyes wander elsewhere
Tweet by me, June 2009: Amy's Law of Information Filth: People flock to a new communication medium because it's clean. And bring the old dirt with them.

Can we go to school dressed as our favourite characters?
Perhaps this is a complaint from a previous era of holiday shows and, to be honest, I'm so rarely in front of a TV to be able to name any
I'll take that every time over "mid celebrity boost their kids' media careers by going abroad"
I think this approach hints at how employee-focused vibe coding is going to be practical.
Tools need centralised interface guidelines, governance and metadata rules for input and output data, test and reporting requirements, as well as safeguards to manage sharing beyond intended audiences.
Programmers, of all people, need to be forced into using potatoes with shitty internet.
People using potatoes with no or shitty internet accomplished *miracles*, modern programmers are using incomprehensibly better hardware to fuck about.
I got so frustrated at one point I just said
"You have soup. We are making a sandwich. We cannot make a sandwich out of soup!"
And I feel like that's what rebuilding from post-slop everything is going to be like.

My POV as a 6ft tall person of a wash basin at a conference venue. To the right of the basin is a blue liquid in a pump dispenser.
The view of the basin at counter top level. A label now visible that says mouthwash.
Guess who gave himself minty fresh hands this morning.

Give her an egg and she can have a scarf tartare
The Human Dragon’s Lair, I fear, would have involved people dying so quickly and easily it would have given The Human Lemmings a run for its money
My 15 year old went to a fighting robot workshop last weekend, delightedly returning home with two drills mounted into multiple blocks of wood, and dreams of attaching smashy-bashy-spinny weapons.
Young Anakin, however precocious, would have been no different.
all those "Hi it's Chad from Blancmange, I noticed you haven't used Blancmange in a while..." emails might land better if they included any details to help me remember what product this is
