iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

at the coffee shop and the people next to me are explaining how they can build startups without engineers any more 🙏

Knowing Cloudflare encourages their engineers to write blog posts assisted with AI is enough for me to skip reading any of them

pro-tip for agent sessions that you want to sit on and come back to later just ask the agent to comment the claude resumable command on the PR

Cold emailing people AI-gen spam in response to their Bluesky posts with a complete advertisement is a horrible growth hack and terrible practice. Not to mention a complete waste of both of our time.

one of the best shows I've ever seen. an hour of full improv. the band was two duos who had just each met each other for the first time. no conversation, they just showed up and played. the whole room let out a collective breath when it finished. absolute tops. timber.relisten.net/chris-forsyt...

I don't really understand why ovh is raising the prices on my existing servers "because of increasing ram prices" this is the second time in a year, on a long standing server my ram already exists on the server, it's paid for. is it because of the replacement cost? there's no way it's commensurate

#informalblog #1: cognitive offloading with agentic coding somehow, someway, nearly every single software engineer (> 99%) has adopted agentic AI coding into their workflow. a year ago, when I wrote about this trend, the number was much closer to 50%. even linus uses agents now.

Had a Tapped In product meeting today going over the improvements we can make During which we kind of internalized that it is SEVEN years old (wtf?) The about page still says it’s an experiment and welcomes you as if it was launched yesterday - I guess that’s the first improvement we can make

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
