I just discovered that almost nobody I know has heard of The Last Dragon.

I wanted to ask Claude Code questions about my email. "What did I discuss with X last week?" "Find me that tracking number from yesterday."

Turns out, if you mount Gmail as a FUSE filesystem, Claude Code already knows how to browse and search files. So I built gmailfs. 🧵

I think first party data will be just about the only differentiator in the near future.

Claude is the platform and Code, Desktop, Cowork, Security are just products built on the platform. They will continue to build out products on top of their platform just like every platform does. If you get to an obvious general product before they do, enjoy it while it lasts.

I think it's mostly likely that they're hoping to wait until Jan 21, 2027 to invoke the 25th so that JD can potentially hold office for a total of 10 years according to the 22nd.

I had this thought a day late, but that’s what made MLK so completely remarkable is that he had this singular focus on improving the lives of others instead of just enriching himself. On creating a fairer society rather than a less fair one.

To have doubt and to reflect is supposedly the trait of a good leader, but somehow it seems like the opposite characters consistently rise to positions of power and influence. Why is that?

They’re just humans with some agenda - some of them supposedly Christian, some of them obviously just out for themselves, some of them that seem driven basically by the need to inflict harm on others - but the thing they all have in common is how untouched by self-doubt they all are.

Today’s deep thought - thinking about the main characters in this shitshow right now and what’s kind of striking to me is how unremarkable they all are.

Norah Jones is my Christmas queen.

Thank you for knowing this. The local guitar shop sent out a newsletter - the paper kind - back in the earlymid 90s that announced that some local band had just gotten signed. That was the first time I heard of them. I must've been 16.

TIL about `ssh-copy-id`

I would love to see Claude Code rewritten in something not NodeJS based. I otherwise keep Node and NPM off of my machines for aesthetic reasons, let alone all the fuckery with supply chain attacks that's in the news _right now_.

500+ packages just from "apt-get install npm"

I watched Thunderbolts last night and just realized that Bob was also Bob in Top Gun.

Do a dollop of daisy is a banger

One little detail they missed in Pluribus, everybody's dogs would still be following them around.

This Jon batiste album is the best of the year for me. I didn't even like it at first but every song on here is my favorite song.

Maybe Cuomo was too busy dressing his burns from Mamdani's speech.

Heard and heard, tho it seems to be happening more often this year for some reason.

Happy Wu Wednesday everyone.

ex: I need a project and some Stuff in GCP, I know how to do this myself but we use terraform. There's no longer term value for me in learning tf, I just need this one off infra set up for me. My lack of tf is no longer a blocker to getting to the work I want to be doing.

The AI thing might be a bubble, but it is absolutely not nothing. The way I work has been totally transformed in the last 6 months. Shit that used to take me weeks take me hours now.

Amazing year round farmers market too. We thought about moving there.

Guy picks up, I can hear the rusty cage cover playing in the background. There's no delay between my phone and the radio.

I thank him for doing the show. It's his first ever.

"Will it be weekly?"

"Idk"

"Alright man, rock on"

I haven't called in to a radio station in at least 30 years.

I felt I hadn't listened to an actual human on the radio in 1000 years. I actually teared up a little as I realized this.

I start losing the station, no idea what station this is, so I pull over and google the frequency.

It's a local college station, they have an in studio phone number. I call.
