I think one of the underrated things about LLMs for coding is that they make writing code on a mobile phone massively more feasible

I can build small but useful pieces of software entirely on my phone now - without even needing to pay full attention, so it's compatible with being out in the world

I knock out small tools on my phone several times a week now, but my most ambitious phone coding project is still this one https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/17/vibe-scraping/

Vibe scraping and vibe coding a schedule app for Open Sauce 2025 entirely on my phone

This morning, working entirely on my phone, I scraped a conference website and vibe coded up an alternative UI for interacting with the schedule using a combination of OpenAI Codex …

I declare that today, Nov. 19, 2025 is the 50th anniversary of BitBLT, a routine so fundamental to computer graphics that we don't even think about it having an origin. A working (later optimized) implementation was devised on the Xerox Alto by members of the Smalltalk team. It made it easy to arbitrarily copy and move arbitrary rectangles of bits in a graphical bitmap. It was this routine that made Smalltalk's graphical interface possible. Below is part of a PARC-internal memo detailing it:

Ærgerligt at journalisten ikke spørger politikerne til hvorfor kommunerne ikke må spæde til så lejen holdes lav, ligesom de kan og gør mht ‘boliger’ til biler? (Jf 👆🏻)

Regeringen vil bygge flere almene boliger: 'Reglerne har været for stramme'

Som del af et boligudspil vil regeringen hæve maksimumbeløbet samt give storbyer som København og Aarhus mulighed for at overgå maksimumsbeløbet midlertidigt.

Clever -> “The operating system itself converts the current from AC to DC by switching the individual cells on and off at different voltages – one cell on for three volts, two cells for six volts, three cells for nine volts and back down – to create an AC sine wave in real time”

"We are failing to see that configuration files are actually user interfaces, and that they should be treated as such."

Configuration files are user interfaces

We have all been there. Your software keeps growing and you feel the need to make it customizable. It is too soon for a full-blown UI with all the bells and whistles, so your pragmatic instinct suggests a text-based configuration file. Yes, that’s exactly it! You rejoice knowing the software’s configuration will be trivial to version control. Your pragmatic instinct is satisfied as well; the door remains open to creating a proper UI later, since it would be merely a graphical view of your configuration’s structured data.
