I liked emdash—before it was cool.
Something amazing just happened in a work call.
"What language are the Playwright tests you just wrote written in?"
"I'm not sure. Let me look."
Curation and discovery are more important than ever.
"AI is simultaneously collapsing the median ("slop") and raising the ceiling (real zero-days in critical infrastructure)." [^1]
True for almost everything these days.
More stuff is produced. + More of it is crap. + The best stuff is better than ever.

Shift left!
Google Workspace has come sooooo far in the last 2 years. At this point, I see no use for Slack in a Google organization. There a very few small features that I miss.
I still struggle to replace Notion in my standard stack. Confluence is 1000x better than I remember, but it's not quite the same.
Came here to say the same thing.
"Hello, I'm new here, but can I please have read/write access to everything?"
"No."
"Okay, gtfo."
Surely I'm not the first to use the word "LLMerence" to describe that phase where one believes Claude Code can solve any problem better than the best engineering team in history. I see a lot of people going through it right now. AI tools are great—sustainable systems still need humans for now.
I might even call them "soweli Waso", "soweli Akesi", and "soweli Pipi".
jan li jo waso suwi en akesi suwi en pipi suwi. tawa mi la ona mute li nimi "soweli".
tan ni la ona ale li lili li suwi lukin
waso suwi anu akesi suwi anu pipi suwi li ken jo e nimi "soweli" tawa mi
I think most linguists are right—I don't agree with that either.
Wordplay (toki pi musi pona?) is fun **because it pushes the boundaries of the "rules"**. Sometimes wordplay is suli enough to move the lon pi selo.
Put another way, prescriptivists make descriptivism fun! #tokikamalawala
ma Sijato la tenpo suno pi sona toki pi ma ale o pona #tokipona
ni li nasa wawa. mi olin e ni.
To be fair, I think of any "pet-like" animal as soweli, even if it's also waso (or even akesi anu pipi).
sama. I caught the wave this time. About 2 weeks in, I'm a mostly functional reader, a partly functional writer, and can get my meaning across in conversation if I can gesture a lot.
What's magical is that anyone could do the same thing. If it was common, we'd have a universal pidgin!
You should!
a a a!
I can read English. mi ken sona lukin e toki pona.
sitelen ike li anpa mi.
kama pona! tenpo poka la mi open kama sona e toki pona kin!
I had heard of it before, but Robwords pushed me over the edge, and I think it'll stick this time.
@maddymontaquila.net Copy that. Filebased hyphen-apps. (Just now catching up on all the great #dotnetconf goodies!)
I don't want the crocs, but when I thought those were swim shorts I was excited.
🙋♂️Who here has accidentally mis-addressed an email before? Okay, keep your hand up if your mistake was grievous enough to own the news cycle for a week.
I love the distinction that open source _software_ is free, but the _project_ requires material effort and even money! This makes tons of sense, and Rob's video described it very well.
Time to start measuring size of code base in kTok instead of kLoc.
Tootsie Pop owl with a tassled mortarboard on its head licking a lollipop and saying "let's find out".
If an FAQ is doing its job, the questions shouldn't be frequently asked. This brings me to an idea.
Maybe an FAQ should be called an ASQ:
**Answers to Standard Questions**
What color palette is TICKER + ROCK?
I'm intensely suspicious that each SaaS vendor charging an additional $10-$20 per user per month for access to their LLM assistant is not a scalable pricing model.
I have to make too many tough choices on behalf of my users.
I'd bet that including a helpful AI assistant becomes table stakes soon.
As folks roll in over here on the butterfly app, hello!👋
It's kinda quiet so far, but there's already some interesting discourse. More every day, in fact.
