Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 1hyou caught onto my philosophy! charts are boring, interpretation is questionable. look at the moon and feel something. spin your body around like the earth and try to feel the sky. somatic astrodynamics 000

A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right). 187165375083
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 07/09/2026i keep mocking up things that it would almost be possible to physically build 0103
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 06/09/2026i have family members who are Bush-Obama-Trump voters. lifelong Republicans who gave big O a chance. He was persuasive to some of them 250
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 10/08/2026and then I don’t know how much time is between the collapse of the programmer age and the beginning of the robotics age 130
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 10/08/2026there’s a brief window where the friction is reduced but not removed and so a good SWE could be worth many times as much money. but I don’t know if that window is measured in months or hours 120
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 12/07/2026i hate games like this because there’s always normal words it won’t accept 110
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 07/07/2026it’s fascinating to me that all these systems converge on JSONL append-only logs (but in practice do they get used?) 110
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 07/07/2026I do think there’s something to climbing up a level of abstraction, edit a plan rather than edit the code, edit the principles rather than edit the plan 110
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 07/07/2026but to be honest I’m not sure what would be a better design. we’re kind of stuck in a gravity well around the Claude Code metaphor and I suspect things will look really different in a year but I don’t know how 220
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 07/07/2026and you can simplify a fair bit of that with more recent enhancements like “channels” and subagents 110
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 07/07/2026a lot of Steve’s original description is claudes to get other claudes unstuck when their UI hangs, like there’s a lot of complexity there 210
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 07/07/2026i’m starting to see gastown as a warning. all systems where one claude sends keypresses into the window of another claude will evolve into gastown 110
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 28/06/2026maybe. an analogous thing was attempted in the early 2000s and it didn’t really work. the law sucks at mandating infotech security, it ends up being security theatre. but maybe it’s different this time, I’m honestly not sure 010

Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 17/05/2026honestly we’re all still confused as hell about how to get value out of the things 000
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 06/05/2026rats are probably 100 times more likely than human transmission, but it would destroy the brand 030
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 30/04/2026I never figured out sextants! I do own one. they’re just a lot weirder than you might imagine. they’re not simple things like an astrolabe or a quadrant 020
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 24/04/2026the transition is going to happen much more quickly than people realize 010
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 12/04/2026I believe this will eventually be recognized as the obviously correct pattern 000

Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 27/03/2026i remember someone on MTV in the 90s saying that they blurred brand logos in music videos because they didn’t want to run ads for products unless those companies paid up 030
Jes Wolfe! @astrolab.ist · 25/03/2026the new “channels” feature is what sealed it for me. boss Claude talks to me over Telegram, worker Claudes talk to the boss over a new channel that we wrote yesterday. And they’re all just windows in a tmux 120
