Our entire attitude toward education is flawed. We spend years in primary school and then secondary school being coerced into absorbing information and hammered with the misconception that the point of learning is meeting arbitrary goals and being measured on our ability to memorize facts and formulas. That’s bad enough...🧵 1/13

One of the most powerfully poetic works in all of Christian literature is this anonymous homily for Holy Saturday. frankramblings.com/blog/posts/a-hau…
Byzantine-style icon of the Resurrection. At center, Christ in flowing white robes stands over the broken gates of Hades and pulls Adam and Eve up from their tombs. Groups of haloed figures watch from rocky cliffs on both sides, with deep blue background, gold halos, and Greek lettering above.

A scanned page from a history textbook. The header reads "World History Since 1900, McGraw Hill, 2094 Edition." Below it: "Chapter 14. The American Unraveling in Global Context: 1945 to the Trump Era." A horizontal timeline spans the bottom, marking events from 1945 to the 2040s across four labeled eras: Postwar Dominance, The Long Deferred Reckoning, Crisis Cascade, and Disclosure. The page shows signs of age and photocopier degradation, with bleed-through text visible from the reverse side.

Americans love blaming any increase in gas prices on the president, and it’s usually not the president’s fault—because no one controls gas prices—but this time the increase in gas prices really is the president’s fault, directly caused by his entirely unnecessary policy choice.

I tweaked it for another 20 mins or so, giving Claude Code a few prompts to refine some details. I designed an app icon in Gemini with Nano Banana and installed it on my phone. Boom. Podcast background music.

I did some research with Perplexity and had it help me write up a spec for a basic SwiftUI audio player that uses the Plex API. I had Cursor flesh it out into a detailed plan. Then Claude Code took that plan and got to work building the app. 20 minutes later, I had a working prototype.

Sometimes I like a little background music to go with my podcasts. So that got me thinking. What if I wrote a music client that plays tracks from my Plex library using AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient so I can listen alongside my podcasts in Overcast?

Nothing against existing bridges or apps. This is just me experimenting with a different direction. More opinionated about timelines: what’s shown, what’s not, and how much attention it asks for.

Context: I've never written an app before. I'm not a programmer, just a tech nerd. I’m vibe-coding it as an experiment, focusing on design, feel, and interaction first, and learning as I go.

I use Mastodon and Bluesky, but I’ve never loved that the people I follow are split across different apps. So I decided to try building my first iOS app to bring both of my feeds together.
A screenshot of a mobile social media feed with a mix of Mastodon and Bluesky content, focusing on two main posts.

At the top, the app interface shows a "Unified" timeline view with a notification button indicating "14 new posts."

The first is a Mastodon post is by Jerry (@jerry@infosec.exchange). His profile picture is an alpaca wearing a blue hat. The post text reads: "I feel like somehow we need to make BGP more resilient by using DNS. 🤔"

The second post is a Bluesky "boost" (repost) from Jerry Chen, originally by Mara Wilson (@marawilson.bsky.social). Her profile picture is a headshot of the actress Mara Wilson. The post text reads: "The other night I dreamed that there was something like the Kardashev scale to see how advanced a civilization was but instead of measuring how much energy they had harnessed it was whether or not they had yet created SpongeBob"

The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with icons for Home, Notifications, Messages, Search, and Profile.
