The fact that DHH credits Marc Andreessen as the person who personally stepped in to help him during the 37signals no politics at work fiasco explains a lot about David's embrace of psychotic optimism imo.

"Standing by our principles back in 2021, and not caving to the woke mob, remains one of the proudest achievements in my career. And you don't forget the (very) few who came forward to help. Thank you again, @pmarca (and @tobi and @patrickc)"

Fun fact: @kagi.com does this too, but you can turn it off! Although now I kinda wish they let you customize the system prompt for real.

A kagi quick answer screenshot:

Oh, look at this. You’re asking about Honeybadger.io, and honey badger? He don’t care. He don’t give a sh*t.

But since you’re asking, Honeybadger.io is this little piece of tech that’s actually pretty smart, unlike those other nasty creatures in the wild. It’s an error tracking and application monitoring tool that sits there and watches your code like a hawk—or a badger, I guess—to make sure everything is running smooth.

Here’s the breakdown of what it does:

It tracks errors: When your application decides to go crazy and break, this thing catches it immediately so you don't have to go hunting for it in the dark.

It monitors performance: It keeps an eye on how your app is behaving, making sure it’s not acting all sluggish or nasty.

It helps you fix things fast: It puts everything in one simple interface, so you can swoop in, fix the problem in record time, and get back to doing whatever it is you do.

It’s basically the honey badger of the software world—it’s fearless, it’s efficient, and it gets the job done without any of the drama. Now, get out of here.

There is also a binding arbitration clause to opt out of. Section 15.2a. I just did. zed.dev/terms

15.2. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, OR THE BREACH THEREOF, SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION AND JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD RENDERED BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. IF THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT WHETHER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAN BE ENFORCED OR APPLIES TO THE DISPUTE, CUSTOMER AND ZED AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR WILL DECIDE THAT ISSUE.

a. Opt-Out. If Customer does not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, Customer may opt out of the provisions of this Section 17.2 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that Customer agrees to these Terms by sending an email to arbitration-opt-out@zed.dev or a letter to Zed Industries, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 2590 Welton Street, Suite 200, PMB 1916, Denver, CO 80205 that specifies: Customer’s full legal name, the email address associated with Customer’s account on the Service, and a statement that Customer wishes to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Zed receives Customer’s Opt-Out Notice, this Section 15.2 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 15.1 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by Customer’s Opt-Out Notice.

It appears this applies only to the SaaS offering, and not the editor itself. But I do not like where this is going.

1. Overview

Subject to these Terms, Zed will permit Customer to access and use Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering (the “Service”), which enables certain additional features and functionality (including artificial intelligence and collaboration features) in Zed’s open source code editing software (“Software”).

Joshua Wood @joshuawood.net · 03/03/2026

So @zed.dev just updated their Terms of Service to include a minimum age requirement. As a former tween coder, what the actual fuck.

2.1. Eligibility

Customer must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, Customer represents and warrants to Zed that: (a) Customer is at least 18 years old; (b) Customer has not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) Customer’s registration and use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If Customer is an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on Customer’s behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind Customer to these Terms and Customer agrees to be bound by these Terms.

I photographed the opening of the Ridgefield Art Gallery, where my wife @kaylin-rose.bsky.social is a managing member. I like these dark and moody images looking in from outside.

Crowded art gallery opening with visitors viewing framed artwork on white walls, track lighting overhead.

Visitors mingling at a gallery event, some taking selfies, with lens flare from overhead lights.

Window sign reading “RIDGEFIELD art gallery” with tagline “A local artist cooperative brought to you by the Ridgefield Art Association 501(c)(3)” with blurred visitors and balloons inside.

I love when street lamps illuminate the autumn leaves at dusk.

Evening campus path lined with illuminated lampposts, autumn trees with golden foliage, and people walking in the distance.

Dusk campus pathway covered in autumn leaves between brick and glass buildings, with colorful fall trees illuminated by street lamps.

Tree with vibrant orange autumn leaves illuminated at dusk, lichen-covered trunk, lit building windows visible in background.

Anyway, here are some frogs to wrap up the day.

A person in the distance holds a sign that says "HOPE" below a frog illustration

Three people walk away from the camera as an inflatable frog dances in the park. Two signs read "FROGS NOT FASCISM," "RESISTANCE MELTS ICE"

A few more street portraits. If you look hard you might catch my daughter and I behind the camera flash in the mirror in the first image. This was her second No Kings protest. Trump was first running for office the year she was born.

A woman sits in a tree, smiling for the camera and holding a sign that reads "I was here January 21st, 2017 and I haven't changed my mind." A mirror attached to the tree shows protesters on a sidewalk and the flash of a camera.

Two women pose for a street portrait. One is dressed like a queen of hearts and holds a sign that reads "only queens" with hearts surrounding the text.

Lots of funny, creative signs, too. People are really getting into it. I guess they have a lot to work with.

A woman holds a sign with four panels: two photos of Stephen Miller with captions "this man needs therapy", an illustration of lady liberty that reads "girl, hold my earrings," and the "we the people are PISSED"

A person holds a sign with a depiction of Jesus whispering "he is on the list"

A man holds a sign that reads "Bashar AI Trump" with a Grok-generated image of Trump looking into a mirror and Bashar al-Assad staring back at him.

I person in a raven costume holds a sign that reads "nevermore"

Thousands of every day Americans turned out to protest the Trump administration and its actions. Vancouver is just across the Columbia river from Portland, Oregon. @indivisiblegv.bsky.social is estimating 9–12K. I have some great photos of the crowds, but will save those for another time.

A woman in an inflatable eagle costume smiles and holds a sign that reads "we the people no kings"

A person in an inflatable bear costume stands in front of a group of protesters. One sign reads "No Führer"

Protesters marching away from the camera. A person in a pink dress and a frog hat holds a sign that reads "my dad fought against fascists and so will I," with a photo of a young WWII veteran.

A woman in a cat mask holds two signs: "stop the power grab," and "It's so bad even introverts are here. Silence is compliance"

So many happy inflatable protesters. The mood was upbeat and emphatic.

A hippo, a unicorn, a giraffe, and a t-rex. Signs read: no kings and no fascism. The t-rex holds a second no kings sign in its mouth.

A person in an inflatable shark costume sitting in a wheelchair

Two people in inflatable shark costumes. Signs read: "I wish I was paid to be here" and "USA proudly saying no kings since 1776"

Two people in inflatable frog costumes. One holds a sign that reads "If your voice held no power they wouldn't try to silence you."

Managed to squeeze the full moon and Mount Hood into the same shot.

A twilight landscape at dusk with a full moon hanging in the pale blue sky above. Dark silhouettes of evergreen trees line the left side, while a snow-capped mountain peak rises on the right horizon. The sky transitions from soft blue to warm peach and orange tones near the horizon, with layers of distant mountain ridges visible in the middle distance. An open meadow stretches across the foreground.

In uplifting news, the family of Moises Sotelo has surpassed their initial $75K funding goal, but they will likely need more to fight a protracted legal battle. His daughter posted a touching Father’s Day message on Instagram yesterday. Please help them out if you can. gofund.me/224ada62

Father’s Day this year was a little different, behind an acrylic glass and his grey sweat suit, no hugs, no cards and no flowers.
Feliz día del padre al hombre mas humilde, trabajador, honesto, fuerte y determinado que e podido conocer en esta vida. Nadie te alcanzará padre mío, eres nuestro pilar y nuestra fuerza, gracias a Dios que lo que me has enseñado en mis 26 años de vida, puedo usarlo en estos momentos para seguir luchando este caso y volver abrazarte y no nada más verte por medio de una pared de cristal. Todo lo que me has enseñado se refleja en momentos como estos, gracias por todo mi viejito hermoso, payasito ❤️
Please hug your dad’s extra tight today. You’re lucky.

The Situation
On June 12, 2025, early in the morning, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained Moises Sotelo, a loving father and community pillar, on his way to work at his vineyard management business, Novo Start Vineyard Service, in Newberg, Oregon.

Moises is known throughout the Willamette Valley for providing more than 20 years of expertise in local vineyards. He has earned respect and admiration from growers, winemakers, and workers alike. In 2020, Moises was honored by the Oregon Wine Board with its annual Vineyard Excellence Award. His sudden detention has left his family emotionally devastated and facing immediate legal battles.
