Special thanks to @frankchiarulli.com and @ecalifornica.bsky.social for encouraging me to build all my crazy ideas. If you're in NYC and looking for inspiration, shadow Frank and also go to @sideprojectsaturday.com (by @just-be.dev). So many awesome people doing super cool stuff.

I wonder what it felt like to work in the dotcom boom. Was there a pervasive sense that the internet is inevitable but also that things were insane in ways that obviously wouldn't work?

I just generally enjoy how deeply thoughtful folks in this space are. It's certainly *not* without its own issues, but it's a space that I feel a fleetingly rare sense of belonging.

Had a fantastic time at @localfirstconf.com. Started off relatively stark with discussions acknowledging the general political instability of our times and how much data sovereignty matters. Ended with an absolutely wild demo of @inkandswitch.com's patchwork project. Lots of good bits in between.

It's a good tax. I'm pretty anti-luxury real estate as an investment vehicle.

Yo @davidcrespo.bsky.social, y'all been running any local models on the oxide racks?

Justin @just-be.dev · 21/06/2026
I could see taking advantage of shared compute for agent sandboxes. That's a generally less memory intensive (if scary from a security perspective). Priced right, that's something I could see wiring up to some agent infra though.
110
Justin @just-be.dev · 21/06/2026
I guess I'm just saying, I'd be interested in offering compute, but not *using* compute from others. It just isn't worth it to me. So the incentive structure of being able to buy back the compute time isn't an aligned incentive unless your both a heavy consumer and provider.
110
Justin @just-be.dev · 21/06/2026
There's a limit to the performance we'll get with open source models and consumer level hardware right now. Unless folks are running some setups with insane integrated memory, the models will need to be quantized and the performance will only be so-so. Could be marginally useful, sometimes.
110
Justin @just-be.dev · 21/06/2026
Setting aside the co-op framing for a moment, I do think it's an interesting time to have more shared compute. I could see offering up unused compute for others to use. I don't find the arbitrary token exchange interesting though.
110
Justin @just-be.dev · 21/06/2026
Do you know who's behind the project? It's odd to me that it's free. That just seems unsustainable / doesn't really incentivize providing compute. Being able to rent out local compute at marginal rates would be very interesting though.

One cool thing we're doing at @jazz.tools is reimagining migrations. Instead of migrating your data, you tell clients how to read it, inspired by @inkandswitch.com's Cambria paper. Last week I built this interactive diagram to show how it works. Check it out in our docs: jazz.tools/docs/schemas...

The nascent HTML-in-Canvas API is exciting to me not because of flashy effects, but because it extends the semantics that the DOM can (tractably) represent — as a tiny example, it's possible to show an element in multiple places, cheaply, under arbitrary transforms. folkjs.org/demos/html-i...

I would bet good money that some politicians in Albany get kickbacks from local publishers to keep that law alive. @lizkrueger.bsky.social has been pushing bills since 2019 to get it repealed. Here's the latest attempt: www.nysenate.gov/legislation/... (prev include S4716, S1481, S3361)

NY's requirement to publish the creation of a business in the paper for 6 weeks is kinda insane. You even have to post if you're doing a new DBA. I get it's likely just a subsidy of legacy print media which on the face of it is fine. It's $1.4k to do a publishing in BK, so everyone uses Albany.

That's not to say I don't *plan* up front (regardless of whether I'm using an agent or not). It's fairly common to learn during the process though. I still learn during the process with agents, but the learnings can sometimes be delayed.

When I'm working on a difficult piece of software there are all these moments of introspection dredged up by the friction that make me continually question if it's the right way to do things or the appropriate direction. Coding agents remove a lot of that. It's easier to go the wrong way longer.
