i expect video editing, websites, graphic design and 3D asset generation to be solved on a “taste” level in a year from now (October 2027)

very simple answer to the “if ur so smart, why aren’t you happy?” question: they don’t want to be happy. they want to be all kinds of other nonsense *but* happy

you notice how it’s only programmers who say things like “software is over”? curious, eh? how the one group of people who only cared about code think that computers are just about code i suppose that “moving bytes around is solved” doesn’t sound as impressive but it’s closer to the truth

i know the Substack people love to celebrate that long form is alive and well but looking at the feed there i’m starting to wish it wasn’t there is a brevity to a tweet thread that trumps every 4k word self-indulgent rant that doesn’t even tell the truth by the end

The concept of ‘language levels’ from racket is, to me, one of the great unsung ideas in computing. Imagine photoshop with extensible affordances gated to your current skill level, or a coding harness, or R studio, or a browser, or a terminal. To me it would be the welcome anti-philosophy to RTFM

Reminded of the deep lore of local-first, that it originally emerged out the question of whether p2p file sharing networks could support collaborative editing. This is one of the first papers about CRDTs: inria.hal.science/inria-001085...
"Currently, peer-to-peer systems demonstrated how they
can ensure scalable content distribution. In their survey [4],
Androutsellis-Theotokis et al. wrote:
  “Peer-to-peer content distribution systems rely
  on the replication of content on more than one
  node for improving the availability of content,
  enhancing performance and resisting censorship
  attempts.”
We want to reuse these characteristics not only for content
distribution but also for content editing.""networks mainly distribute immutable contents, we want to
distribute updates on this content and manage collaborative editing on it. We are convinced that if we can deploy a
group editor framework on a P2P network, we open the way
for P2P content editing. It means that all existing collaborative editing applications such as CVS and Wiki can be
redeployed on P2P networks and take advantage of availability improvements, performance enhancements and censorship resistance of P2P networks. For instance, Wikipedia [2]
is currently a collaborative encyclopædia that has collected
more than 4,700,000 articles in more than 200 languages.
Wikipedia has more than 50 million of page requests per day.
200,000 changes are made every day [1]. However, Wikipedia
needs a costly infrastructure to handle the load. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars are spent every year to fund the infrastructure. A P2P massive collaborative editing system
would allow to distribute the service, tolerate failures, improve performances, resist to censorship and share the cost
of the underlying infrastructure."

if you give your website a service worker cache and a keyboard-driven search bar, if starts to feel like using a local app that contains your notes but accessible in every browser, all the time!

redesigning the WEBCRAFT site adding a “why do people hire me?” that just has quotes from people who’ve hired me
A certain tasteful originality
I don't like most websites and have wasted 100 hours trying to like mine. But I like your websites.

"taste", "craftsman", "each one doesn't look like others"

Intentional attention from a human
Your work stands out in the age of AI - feels more human, intentional. And the more Claudeslop there is out there, the more the human approach stands out. In a sense, me hiring you is also me taking a stand for certain principles

I can do it all
You also made the process of working together very smooth and painless, priced very reasonably, and included hosting/email/etc, which are all added pluses. Not easy to find an all-in-one package that good.

I’m the website guy
I just loved your style and that you blogged and that I enjoyed your site, so why not hire you to make others feel that way when they land on mine?

I’m the *serious* website guy
Judah is incredibly serious at being the best at creating personal websites. Basically like “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”...a craftsman dedicated to the craft. Not that you *will* dedicate your life to it, but its the same ethos.
