Cursor is gradually becoming more agentic for coding. But it's a spectrum, not a binary I suspect the path toward "agents" will look like this Start with vertical SMEs in a tight human feedback loop, then slowly improve

Claude's new "custom styles" feature is sweet! LLMs are becoming a sort of "meta-compiler" of text -> anything I'm now using Claude to "compile" my high level intent to more precise style instructions for...itself as a text compiler This is getting so meta and I love it 🥰

New favorite LLM coding hack I use all the time: Ask Claude to change my code in some way...but say "no code yet, let's discuss approaches first" The model gets to think more, and I get to course correct approach & trade-offs in low-fidelity before it gets in the weeds 😍

One tiny productivity hack I’ve found is just putting the filename at the top of every code file Then when I select all + copy/paste to an LLM, it has more context and keeps the artifacts straight

I like this quote. But if a system is not an object, how do you influence it? Places to intervene (from @gordon.bsky.social): newsletter.squishy.computer/p/places-to-...

I love that you can just link to stuff here, like the Internet gods intended

TeXipedia is an example of what I call an "offline AI" app. What I mean is an app that uses AI to generate content at *build* time, not runtime. The advantage of this approach is an app can be entirely static/SSG, i.e. extremely fast and super cheap to host. Here, I used...

LaTeX is the gold standard for technical writing. But I can never remember all the symbol commands, can you? So I made TeXipedia.com, a free site to find symbols fast. Give it a spin. Would love any feedback. How can I make it better?
