I am a polite software developer and I am always committed to the bit. I will be your favorite app maker’s favorite app maker.

I am enamored by user-facing software, especially mobile, and especially iOS. Swift is my current weapon of choice but I will use any made-up word to solve any problem. I ship my side projects for free.

I run this single-user Mastodon instance in good faith and I intend to keep it that way.

Use the autoresearch pattern to attempt to resolve all incorrect states to be unrepresentable in the type system.

Metrics:

- Number of guards with empty fallthroughs.
- Number of assertion failures.
- Number of fatal errors.

What happens to human agency when competence becomes irresponsible? We’re going to get to find out.

Jevons Paradox is not coming for software. Software is a lossy compression format for human judgement and intelligence. It is the pipe, not the water. The Jevons effect will hit intelligence. Serialization of intelligence by way of software may experience a brief boon, but eventually software demand will contract as ambient intelligence becomes readily available. No one wants software, everyone wants intelligence and judgement.

Memory stocks dumping on news of Google’s new quantization algorithm while the PS5 gets a 20% price increase five years after its release—market irrationality versus reality. There will be an infinite appetite for intelligence-by-way-of-compute for the rest of our lives. All efficiency gains will be immediately eaten up. It’s the same reason why tech stocks dumping on DeepSeek R1 was ridiculous. I reckon it is more likely a PS6 never comes out than silicon allocation pressure ever improves.

Bands I tried to like while growing up because I thought it would make me cool but I ultimately found to be weirdly joyless:

- Arcade Fire
- The xx
- Radiohead
- Sigur Rós
- Animal Collective
- Neutral Milk Hotel

This is obviously unverifiable and very easy to fake, but supposedly someone saved the leaked post before it was taken down.

Good bye 👋🏻

Will you look at that, Anthropic is planning to release a new class of model that will represent a step-change in coding and reasoning capability.

I know I'm going to get got, but I'm going to get mine more than I get got, though.
