The Bootstrapping Computing has finally arrived here in Prague. Meticulously crafted from packaging to binding, typography, and paper. Can't wait to dive in. Thank you @alexanderobenauer.com
Love using Claude Code on top of local markdown files. I have fond memories of using Ulysses back in the day. Now I’m on Obsidian, but I’m intrigued by switching to a native app. Have you tried both? Curious how they compare.
It really shows. Obsidian feels much snappier these days. I’m curious what is the ceiling for performance with Electron and whether you would ever consider migrating to native?
Congratulations! Excited for my copy to arrive soon.
How well does it work with Notion databases? Would love to migrate those as well.
This is amazing! I have had hundreds of records locked in Airtable for years now. I have mostly written them off. I’m glad I can migrate them to Obsidian now.
Looking forward to try this out. Thank you for sharing! Also, super curious to learn more about lifelong kindergartens.
The “wireheading with extra steps” is an apt comparison… Unfortunately, last time I tried smaller local models they were just not up to the standard I got used to with frontier models. We need a much stronger push towards open source to realize the full emancipatory potential of these technologies.
I’ve seen the largest gains in making software. I’m still hesitant to dump my Obsidian journals in there and let the agents roll. I understand that it’s probably irrational, but emotionally it seems like I would be crossing a metaphorical chasm that I’m not sure I want to cross just yet.
Had no idea. Thank you for flagging this. I’ve been eying Render and Railway for a while. It’s time to take a plunge and switch.
I think Vercel might be the most difficult to wean off for me professionally. I’m hosting a few tiny projects on a VPS with Coolify on top. But I would not trust myself to handle larger projects on it. Is there anything in particular about Netlify that makes it more ethical than Vercel?
The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video
Too bad that posting this to a company Slack is also probably not a good idea…
Thanks for sharing. Will give Renovate a try.
Would you say Renovate provides a better DX than Dependabot? Dependabot feels clunky at times but comes built in with GitHub. I’m curious to hear your opinion.
I just spent a whole afternoon pruning our npm dependencies. Your piece is super helpful. Excited to adopt some of your approaches. Thank you for sharing.
Originally, the service had generated recommendations based on a five-star system of user ratings, but in 2017 Netflix abandoned this in favour of the altgenre-based system. “Moving from explicit to implicit recommendations was the big shift,” said Yellin. “Recommendations based on behaviour – what you actually watched and consumed, versus what you said you liked.”
algorithmic recommendation tries to make it impossible for us to escape our own predictability; continued interaction with these sorts of surveillance systems changes our relationship to our own capability to want things—makes it alien, fully externalized www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...
Thank you for a hearty recommendation. I look forward to digging deeper into it.
I have always wondered to what degree this is a result of corporate compliance and design incompetence versus just the sheer complexity of integrating a disparate network of legacy systems into something that resembles a cohesive experience.
Thank you for sharing. I relate to many of the insights. My mindset around PKM has improved significantly after I gave up on optimizing my systems and simply do things that feel intuitive at any given moment.
From Critical Path: “It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a “higher standard of living than any have ever known.” It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary and hence-forth unrationalizable as mandated by survival. War is obsolete.”
I think B. Fuller had similar sentiments in the 70s already. It could be argued that it was still aspirational back then. I think there is no doubt that this is true today.
computing shrines is a series of public art sculptures that co-opt our devices to foster local connection in everyday locations.
the show in new york starts today
free & open to the public until june 22

7/ Overall, this was a really fun experiment. Looking forward to creating more micro-tools in the future and seeing what others come up with. The dawn of truly personalized computing is upon us.
6/ We seem to be at an inflection point where tech-savvy professionals can quickly create disposable, purpose-built software for specific, small problems. More complex applications still have some way to go, but the space is evolving at an incredible pace.
5/ This feels like a huge unlock for senior developers who have been around for a while and know their way around software. There still seems to be quite a few friction points and a steep learning curve for newcomers and non-technical roles.
4/ I managed to do this quickly because I'm well-versed in frontend lore, have been debugging for over 15 years, and follow the field closely. I used precise wording and pointed the agent in the right direction, so errors got ironed out easily.
3/ Notion is an incredibly powerful surface area for building small apps and enabling participation from non-technical folks. It provides an easy-to-use database with familiar affordances. My wife can now easily extend the map without having to touch a line of code.
