You can pay a lot or you can pay a little for the same ingredients at a Taco Bell and honestly it’s up to you.

This all accelerates us.

But if you didn't know how to communicate before, ChatGPT isn't going to help you get your point across -any better-.

If you didn't know how to code before, Claude isn't going to be enough to help you write -shippable code-.

I simply do not have time for uneven tines. I am trying to capture food, not shove it around.

Who else straightens tines at restaurants? Just me?

After much experimentation and consideration I confidently conclude that claude-code will allow me to pay MUCH CLOSER ATTENTION to the television I watch while I code.

Game changer.

Good job! You keep getting fitter! I notice you picking up trash! Keep it up, whoever you are!

Don’t forget, AI doesn’t know what human words mean

I asked Siri using my voice how to spell a word. It spelled the word. Then it asked if it needed to phone a friend πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

The FAA has been underfunded for at least three presidential terms now. This isn’t new.

Nobody thinks air travel should be less safe. Nobody thinks the FAA is a waste of time. The system they administer creates a ton of economic value.

It really makes no sense.

The one thing I miss here is drafts.

What am I supposed to do with my shitty ideas now? Where can they go to never be seen?

I’d say: don’t use a browser that is designed to spy on you and sell you things.

As a marketer I don’t even want this.

Go to any soccer or hockey game and you will hear someone in the crowd shouting β€œshoot it” at entirely the wrong moment.
