Yes, I carry my pet rock everywhere. Some people call it a phone. I call it a boundary.

nowadays every app wants to be a platform, and platform logic requires that they become the *only* platform.
that's why they all start as Specific: The Tool That Does A Thing and five years later announce they're rebranding as Totalizr: We Manage Your Life

Google’s no‑code AI mini‑app builder, Opal, moves beyond the U.S. into 15 countries and ships workflow debugging + parallel execution. It’s built for creators who want natural‑language app building with real reliability, not just demos.

This is an exciting time in software development, as it slowly dawns on the money that they still need the talent, and the talent sees the money for what it was all along.

We have got to stop treating the most powerful and rich people in human history as the most innocent smol beans who only make oopsies with their tech products. There is *so much* public evidence that they know what they are doing and that they are doing it on purpose.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.
