Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Me: "Code is free now."

Also me: "I agree, let's pay for this expensive SaaS product with an API to save ourselves a bunch of upfront and maintenance work."

Non-trivial code + infra will be valuable for a long time.

My boys went to Shimla last week. Jerry wrote a short post on his one-day experience here: blog.jerryg.xyz/my-trip-to-...

Recently he has started to like photography. You can see some photos he took in the post.

Let me know what you think of his writing style and his photography?

@opalstack.com are brilliant. I wish they had a larger presence here.

If you are a lone developer or a large company needing managed webhosting OpalStack are the people to use.

Their technical support is unequalled.

I'm running @n8n.io on @opalstack.com (I'm on their value stack).

Overall cheaper and you get amazing support from their team.

If you want to know how to install n8n on opalstack, here is my guide: www.jjude.com/tech-notes/...

I’ve use Go for personal projects because it stays simple.

I code in bursts, and Go’s clean syntax is easy to pick up months later. Plus, it rarely breaks old code.

They released a new minor version with this note:
> We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.

Keep trust or distrust as default.

Trust → Easier collaboration → Progress
Distrust → Limits Progress

I used to be overly cautious.

Now, as per my principles (www.jjude.com/principles/), I choose trust.

Opt to work with those you trust and enjoy doing your best.

Been using Webfaction & Opalstack for more than 15 years

I like their comprehensive shared hosting (email, dbs, apps).

Their value stack is more than enough for me.

Now they also introduced podman on the same plan.

Europe is quickly building their tech stack to move away from the US dependence: tech.eu/2026/01/23/...

Do we have such tech stack for India?

I used to run n8n on Railway. It used to cost $7/month.

I was already on the opalstack value stack plan.

When they introduced AlmaLinux with podman, I migrated servers and installed n8n.

An open-source RAG platform: github.com/agentset-ai...

Been thinking of building one like this to analyze my blog posts, obsidian notes. Maybe will this try this out first.

What are you using to chat with your obsidian notes?

GenAI tools I use:
• chatgpt - for all general purposes (voice typing, drafting & editing blog posts, understanding concepts)
• Claude - detailing hobby products
• Grok - dig into tweets
• Agy - Agentic code editor

What’s your tool chain?

Win of the day
• Installed n8n on OpalStack using podman
• Configured a webhook integration with typefully to append a dropbox file whenever I publish a post

Took a lot of time to get it right. But it works now.
Hooray!

I like how Mitchell Hashimoto approaches coding agents:
• Reproduce what you do manually with AI agents
• Discovering yourself gives you stronger understanding
• Give the agent a way to verify its work

No AI slop here. Promise.

When people say, "AI-generated slop" they mean:

• A tool was used
• Style feels borrowed
• Content is low quality

The first two? Not an issue. Only the last one.

What I write stems from my experiences and thoughts. AI aids my writing, not my thinking.

That's my promise
