πŸ“£ NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!

β€œSearching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐀

A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

100%. Flying home I replaced my dad’s Squarespace, an artist portfolio, with 2 hours of Codex’ing, finally fixing the litany of bugs/regressions they introduced while doubling their prices for private equity recently. Vercel hosts the superior site for free. Site builders are permanently over

Haha, valid. I haven’t tried Cursor etc’s local AI code review, but I’m curious if that’s a better balance. I’d much rather fix a bug it catches locally right before I put up a PR than after I’ve requested coworkers look at my work.

Standalone chat isn’t a great form factor for serious work. Engineers wouldn’t be using GPT that much if only for chat.com, they use it because Cursor/etc integrated it where we already work. Those interfaces haven’t been built for most workflows yet, but that’s as much the interfaces as the models.

Zillow Removes Climate Risk Scores From Home Listings

Zillow has removed β€œclimate risk scores” from its listings. On the one hand, the smoking gun is right in the article: It seems like the risk scores were too effective, actively dissuading people from buying properties with high flood risk. On the other hand… www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/c...

Apple has a private CSS property to add Liquid Glass effects to web content I have an incredibly boring summer hobby: looking at the changelog for the WebKit Github repo. Why? Because I spend a chunk of my professional life working with webviews inside mobile apps and I like ...

"Only we are responsible and skilled enough to use webviews correctly, and so only we are allowed to apply liquid glass in safari"

Classic Apple

My first month in San Francisco flew by! So thrilled to be back at Watershed.

Also: now we manage over a quarter of US carbon emissions 🌎

I would love a better schedule site! I refer to @binx.bsky.social’s amtrakexplorer.com for a map constantly

@ped.ro Would love the ability to export all my notes from the iOS app as a backup (as Markdown files). Exporting right now is one-off, & each file has to be manually named πŸ˜”

I totally agree they’re damaging, especially how they’re being used for the wrong things, but the fact that we cannot get rid of them at this point is why I said the train left the station

Oh yes, this is lovely! I would love to see tools for thinking about vertical rhythm as a designer/engineer built straight into the browser devtools, as realistically I’m not going to bring in a system like this to every project that could benefit from it

Gen AI is 100% a new imperialism, the development has been indefensible. But I can’t defend the ideological, material, or economic underpinnings of the chips enabling this conversation either. & it feels like the right thing for me to use those as tools to build more of the just world I want to see

I bought a @theverge.com sub the day they launched. I’ve been so impressed by their growing boldness in coverage, of the election/gov, climate/env, the Vietnam War at 50 today; all way wider-eyed stories than most publications, expanding tech far beyond consumer product specs. Grateful for them!!

I wholly respect resistance as a response but it feels like an arbitrary line. I’m making a project rn using an LLM to illuminate some of that toxic history in gov archives; I think the train left the station on LLMs being part of tech landscape, & now it’s up to us to shape how they’re used. 3/3

then the underpinnings/design of the computers themselves being conceived of for military/surveillance purposes from the beginning. LLM development has been wildly unethical, but at the same time hasn’t all our digital technology? We’ve just had it long enough to normalize that story? 2/3

I totally understand this, but learning more about the history of computing, I feel the computers & internet we’re used to come from the same lineage. The toxic materials, wildly polluting manufacturing in the South Bay to water-hungry fab labs in Taiwan, outsourcing mining to slavery, 1/3

Love this. I wish there were easier ways of overlaying grids exactly like that in the browser to check my alignment. Did you add those as an image overlay or is there a tool I’ve overlooked?
