I've been largely on a hiatus from social media for the past year as I focused on family and growing my business. Really excited to jump back in.

Get ready for something big next week.

Europe is right for building their European tech stack.

embodied robots are cool and all, but I like the idea of entire homes or factories that are all 1 robot.

In 1 year I will won't be using apps that don't have a chat to modify them.

It's so fun to create things right now. There has never been a better time to invent in all of human history.

Just a light update to the Station Sciences website.

Software development isn't going away. Instead, far more people are going to become developers.

i legitimately never want to see a fully AI generated person in a final product.

Startup attempts so far: goSolve - Nonprofit social network to help coordinate global problem solving (too naive) Starlo - Web publishing platform formatted like any type of social media (too broke) Sune - AI Operating System on an infinite Canvas (too early) Emra - Loading...

Software development is dead, long live software development.

Still dealing with Google domains selling to Squarespace. I'd love to get all of my domains ported over to Cloudflare but that is a can of worms.

Hardware will be more important every day.

Not sure the walkable city people (me!) recognize how good self-driving cars will be for society.

At 17,000 tokens per second, what won’t be generated in real-time?

We’re building an agent inside of Emra, so you’re able to ask for meeting summaries, get context about your conversations, and organize your scattered thoughts.

Legacy hardware will be no match for AI. It’ll feel like Iron Man’s phone taking over the courtroom TV screen.

Deleted X account. Will post on website and youtube, and then bluesky and threads moving forward.

iPhone on aggressive "No Notifications Mode" and "Auto Decline Unknown Callers" MacOS 26 Tahoe still shows a call screening box every time a telemarketer calls. Super invasive and flow breaking.

For clarification, they were using Cluely to talk to me.

I'm hiring a founding engineer, and a candidate was using AI during the intro interview. When I realized my heart sank. It was dishonest, but it was more sad that they felt desperate enough that they couldn't do it on their own (despite their impressive CV).

Turns out the Apple design team copied my jailbroken iPhone from 2010

Recently refreshed my website, check it out for some fun reads and interactivity.

Apple, it's not a want. It's a need.

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 21/05/2025

Okay apple, here's what you need to do next. Hint: this is not what these responses should actually look like.

You know what? Google actually cooked with this new homepage.

You know, it's actually crazy that Apple neglected the primary thing that Siri needs. Chat history, search history, some sort of home for Siri.

I certainly hope it’s clear that if you’re building a product to reduce friction while using cursor + a LLM, your product will probably only have a market for about 12 months max.

Get used to doing hard things.

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 28/04/2025

People keep saying SaaS is over. But I think the role of who is building these tools and services is going to drastically change. It will start to exist more at smaller agency and freelancer levels in ways that it wasn't able to before.

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 28/04/2025

My whole life I've been told how hard it is to do the things I want to do. And I can confirm, things are hard, but why in the world would I want to live my life on the wrong side of it? If you get good at hard things, hard things become easy.

wild to me that TT and YT can do it better

X, BS, and Thrds all have completely destroyed the quality of feeds compared to what we had on Tweety not even 3 years ago. The plot is lost. The algorithms pump brainrot and attention baiting. I'm sorry discover feeds, I am now only using following or curated feeds.

100

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 22/04/2025

I see more politics here than on X. As far as I can tell, no amount of tuning of the BlueSky discover feed can actually remove politics. I aggressively say "See less of this" and have the topic off in settings. I've blocked keywords, and even use custom feeds (which aren't great for discovery).

000

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 20/04/2025

Okay pretty sure I need all AI models to support 1M tokens from here on out.

You know how airpods automatically hijack your microphone input on Mac? I have a repeating shell command running inside Better Touch Tool that checks every few seconds to see if my airpods are connected. If so it forces microphone input from my AirPods to my lapel microphone.

000

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 17/04/2025

Yeah, and I actively suggest "more of this" "less of this" but it doesn't seem to be too effective.

000

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 16/04/2025

I would much rather spend my time here than X, but I don’t see relevant content here - not sure how to better tune my feed - do I need to make the better performing feed algorithm? Is that it?

Discoverability needs to get better in bluesky

I'd bet all the people building Loom clones are only doing it now because @thewebprodigies dropped a 16 hour tutorial in October.

I've seen the team at OpenAI talk about how they know they're bad at naming conventions, so I'd assumed it was a problem they were working on solving... but I can't believe that they truly just went from 4.5 to 4.1. Guys, it's not hard. Just increment the number.

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 14/04/2025

Your platform won't have my full attention if I'm required to be in people's comments in order to grow my audience. Threads, TikTok, and YouTube enable me to define the conversation without being the reply guy or engagement-maxing. I want to focus on creating, not consuming.

It seems like Claude really wants me to use Gemini 2.5 pro.

Humanoid robots are closer to appliances similar to vacuums and microwaves.

Jarren Rocks @jarren.rocks · 12/04/2025

I'm actually surprised how little I use AI image generators. They're fine for conceptualizing something that already exists, or putting a spin on something, but they're very bad at being very specific.
