“There will be a fluidity to software in the future. Version numbers will be pointless. We’ll all have our own versions. Claude Code be our partner in production. As you imagine new features, Claude produces them. Why would we lock ourselves into someone else’s proprietary binary?”
Craig Mod on writing and memberships
I was thinking about this just yesterday as I was writing the last nordletter on my Mac.

Craig Mod, writing for Literary Hub:
When I’m not talking, just walking (which is most of the time), I try to cultivate the most bored state of mind imaginable. A total void of stimulation beyond the immediate environment. My rules: No news, no social media, no podcasts, no music. No “teleporting,” you could say. The phone, the great teleportation device, the great murderer of boredom. […]
Just finished “Things Become Other Things” by @craigmod - a handsome, virtuously composed life story about growing up, the chances given, some others lost. And about walking, that too. Go get it, it’s worth your time.
(Also, my years-long tiny crush on Craig probably just got slightly deeper. Damn he’s good.)
