I'm listening to people who are deeply upset about how they are being asked to do project planning, so I hear the last sentence as a fantastic description of the project management problem space...

If you haven't started with talking to leaders, creating structure for them to tell you about their work in a way where you are helping them understand what you want to know and care about, what the hell do you hope to get from side stepping them and creating AI jira panopticon?

We can think of lots of things like markets; that doesn't mean it tells us anything useful. And once you've decided to think of something as a market, it is way too easy to get locked into market logics, which (all together now) are ideological as much as anything.

If you run your app with Podman, you can easily require all of its network traffic to go through an IO where you can control and review it. agent.io/posts/sandbox/

I think a driving force in ableism is fear. People haven't dealt with their own fear about losing ability and wow can we tell, those of us who've been through stuff. I am a fairly hopeful person about humanity in general but our capacity for rageful dehumanization wrt ableism really gets me down.

Price is by far the most legible characteristic in a low-information online marketplace, so yes, people will index on it often. That doesn't mean it's what they *want*. They are satisficing not the object but the process of choosing the object.

What would this layer do? If the APIs are functional primitives and the DOM is managing layout/presentation, what fills the gap?

Ooof, this was the video that made me realize how much I dislike that man and his straight-out contempt for work he sees as beneath him, like some codependent identity complex.

Share the quick note-to-self that this provoked: There are some people who do things because they recognize it needs to be done. They care about others. That work is sometimes intentionally unacknowledged.

Last year I replaced grpc-go and connect-go with a thin layer of code that I use to write gRPC clients and servers on the Go standard library. Details are here: agent.io/posts/sidecar

agent.io

Lightweight gRPC on the Go Standard Library

Sidecar is a tiny Go package that can be used to make clients and servers that use the gRPC wire protocol.

This is why I prefer to work on internal platforms. The market is already captured by definition, so the focus must be on how much value your create.

Marsh Gardiner @earth2marsh.com · 20/06/2026

My jaded self wonders if everyone actually wants the power of a platform to extract value without the obligation to create significantly more value than they capture.

What's the best replacement? Khao Tiew is a welcome addition to the West Portal neighborhood, but I dearly miss the pumpkin curry that Chaiya Thai used to make in that same spot. 😥

@margin.at I'm somewhat averse to browser extensions with broad access permissions (certainly until I have first-hand experience with a service). Any chance there's a bookmarklet to be able to trigger margin.at on demand on a given page?

I don't care whether people who voted this administration into office "have a racist bone in their bodies". They were willing to ignore/overlook racist policies because they didn't think they personally would be affected, and it's sloppy reporting not to say that.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.
