I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately

Stop generating, start thinking - localghost

Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.

OpenClaw (which was Moltbot, which was ClawdBot, all in the course of a week) is the new `sudo curl | bash`

Pay-once software users demanding constant updates is the equivalent of buying a book and getting mad the author won’t keep adding chapters.

Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.

@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.

That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).

Why RSS readers look like email clients, and what that's doing to us.

I've thought it weird that I haven't gotten any new feedback in Xcode for the past month - turns out there was a _tiny_ gray icon that told me I was no longer signed into my Apple account.

Thanks for the heads up, Xcode!

If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design

Can Bundler Be as Fast as uv? https://tenderlovemaking.com/2025/12/29/can-bundler-be-as-fast-as-uv/

Can Bundler Be as Fast as uv?

At RailsWorld earlier this year, I got nerd sniped by someone. They asked “why can’t Bundler be as fast as uv?” Immediately my inner voice said “YA, WHY CAN’T IT BE AS FAST AS UV????” My inner voice likes to shout at me, especially when someone asks a question so obvious I should have thought of it myself. Since then I’ve been thinking about and investigating this problem, going so far as to give a presentation at XO Ruby Portland about Bundler performance. I firmly believe the answer is “Bundler can be as fast as uv” (where “as fast” has a margin of error lol).

Dear politicians,

Our wish for #2026: Stop using 'child safety' as an excuse for mass censorship and surveillance.

No one believes you.

And using children is just... sickening.
