I really miss Steve. I’d love to know what he would’ve thought about LLMs, and what he would’ve actually done with them.

The world needs real visionaries. I’m tired of every mediocre product being labeled “revolutionary.”

"We're the last people in this business who give a shit about making great computers."

I already shared this clip on X and Bluesky earlier today, but I wanted to say a little bit more about it. I think that this newly discovered footage of Steve Jobs congratulating Apple employees at an outdoor all-hands meeting at the Infinite Loop campus following MacWorld New York in 1999 is some of the most important that exists of him. It’s awfully rare footage, not just because it’s an internal meeting but because it shows a behind the scenes look at life at Apple in those early days of his return.

@xtaldave But BUT… the DOW!! Oh wait, that’s actually the DOW! Ooh wait, it says the DOW IS DOWN!! 😱
@simonbs What do you mean? If Apple returned transaction info then you can trust it, no?
@simonbs You could skip that and just call GetTransactionInfo and GetTransactionHistory endpoints from the backend with the transaction ID you received.

It’s really embarrassing that someone had to create a Chrome plugin to fix Claude’s bidirectional text handling. It’s 2026, and you still need to beg a 4 hundred billion company to understand that RTL languages exist in this world. Cannot Claude just vibe code that in Claude?

I don’t know which makes me want to cry more— that the US somehow thinks it owns the world, deciding which regimes live or die and playing god, even as it collapses from within, or that the governments of my own countries are helping the US fuck us over.

Anyway, FUCK ISRAEL.

@mergesort I genuinely want to understand how anyone can think Grok is worse than Palantir? (Or did I misunderstand the picture?)
@oscherler @brentsimmons I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing.
Even TDD as a paradigm might win, not because humans suddenly love writing tests first, but because a test-first, strictly specified workflow is a dream environment for code-generating agents.
