If this is happening to @siracusa, I can only assume it's driving him insane.

Thanks Barclays. We’ve gone through the entire beta cycle and you’ve done this with the end in sight?

Every time I make my daughter a cheese toasty I wonder if the George Foreman marketing department physically attacked the product designers for missing the opportunity to brand everything cooked on their grill with the company name.

My family is hard on phones.

It’s like an episode of fucking Masterchef.

Anyone who doesn’t like LLMs hasn’t had to do mandatory training modules for their job.

Is this ironic? It feels like it might be ironic.

Having finally started using Cursor properly, this blog post has inspired me to try agents a bit more.

So far so good. I am on the road with my wife issuing orders to a posse of eager junior developers to add simple but useful features to various projects that I would never get around to.

It’s actually kind of terrifying. Not sure I’m being the company Emma hoped for while we fetch this horse.

I don’t even have my laptop with me.

My Trmnl arrived and I’m in love!

Stayed up too late last night making a dashboard for my wife’s business.

Might be a little more impressive looking if I hadn’t finished after midnight 🤦🏻‍♂️

I've used Cursor for ages, but just for much more expansive autocomplete. I've never really embraced vibe coding until today.

I'm not 100% sure it's quicker than by hand but its more fun.

Like pair programming with an enthusiastic golden retriever who is simultaneously an incredibly knowledgeable developer and a complete idiot.

It is now 11 years since I wrote my podcast catch-up service Recast. In that time I still haven’t found a podcast client that neatly handles listening to an existing podcast from the first episode. So I’ve given it its annual dust-off and upgrade and it will continue on again.

If you’re looking for something worth catching up on, I highly recommend Origin Story by Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey.
