With both software engineering and journalism going to shit, I think I’ve found my next career path.
Hot take: I hate AI code auto-completion. It was never really that useful and I only put up with it for a while because I thought it would get better. I've now disabled it in all of my editors.
Embarrassing for the American electorate. Computers are hated more than murderer-kidnappers. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
Some personal news: I’m transitioning from CEO to a new role as Bluesky’s Chief Innovation Officer! I’m excited to welcome @toni.bsky.team as our interim CEO.

just another day, coding with my agents, living in the "permanent underclass" during a war in the Middle East
…is the “fresh new look” in the room with us right now?
…what? Is this Gurman postulating or reporting?
i hate daylight savings time
not the Meta AI ad on the Mercedes helmet 🥀😭
A “This man is your friend, he fights for Freedom” poster, but with Claude imposed on it
Asked Claude to help me fix a Raspberry Pi networking issue that's been bugging me for weeks (I did all of the work)

You'll have to choose between David Croft and a 4K HDR F1 feed through Apple TV, as Sky still broadcasts in 720p (?) SDR. Personally, I don't think it matters, but it is good to know. Other than that, the feed seems solid! No issues so far.
The sad reality today is that I figured out I was wasting my time using Opus 4.6 over Opus 4.5 for anything other than code, and 5.4 over Opus 4.6 for code. The benchmarks don't show Anthropic models as the best anymore, but there's something about them that makes them a pleasure to use.
I want the CEO of Apple to use macOS Taho— oh wait
Kinda sad tbh
How is the Codex CLI so much worse than Claude Code, my goodness.
Think I'm ready to do my LLM rankings.

For all of Notion's problems, it really is the only B2B SaaS product that doesn't suck. Probably because it initially wasn't built to be a B2B SaaS product.

I’m indescribably excited for this.
New article: Apple’s week of announcements was fun, and I have thoughts on the MacBook Neo, a rant about the Studio Display, and an explanation of all of the changes to the M5 Pro and Max. (I think the latter is the best on the internet — sue me.) Over 4,000 words for your reading pleasure:
It has been close to four hours and I still don't have access to GPT-5.4 on the ChatGPT website. Nice work, OpenAI!

No backlit keys on the Neo is peculiar. I would assume most of its target demographic doesn't know how to touch type. Surely it wouldn't have cost that much to add some lighting, would it?
You can get an iPad Air with no keyboard and a whole entire Mac laptop for the same price. The iPad has more performance, but runs a neutered OS. And, again, no keyboard. I don't think there's overlap here, but it's still interesting.
I truly think the MacBook Neo will become a staple on *high school*, not college, campuses. It will also probably sell a decent amount in colleges, but the Neo is a Chromebook killer. And a very good one at that. It's so cheap that it clearly doesn't cannibalize MacBook Air sales.
I will gladly eat my words: the MacBook Neo's price is highly subsidized at $600. I wouldn't be surprised if they're not making a profit on it at all.
I think the A18 Pro is fine. People buying this don't care about performance. And the colors are gorgeous. I think the RAM limit is a sign of the
