Ladybird’s new User-Agent string.
Turns out browser devs are still living with the consequences of the Browser Wars and they have to do funny things like this to get websites to send them modern webpages.
Just purged a whole slew of unsafe `as` type assertions from the /walletbeat codebase. Feels good.
The fix was to redefine the default type definitions for `Object.keys()`, `Object.values()`, `Object.entries()`, `Object.fromEntries()` and `Array#filter()` in a `.d.ts` file.
Learning to use Blender for the first time.
First render after two hours of me messing around out transforms, extrusions, insets, materials and lights:
Software abundance forces us to revisit any and all preconceptions about work and productivity. What’s a dev? What’s a manager? What’s a designer? What’s a product? What’s a company? Will any of these concepts still be relevant soon?

Peak Syntax episode. Wes and Scott really embody a “hacker spirit” at a level I aspire to and it shows when they talk about their self-host setups and the dozens of “personal software” hacks they’re constantly working on.

“You realize that stamina is a core bottleneck to work and that with LLMs in hand it has been dramatically increased.”
“Change your approach from imperative to declarative to get the agents looping longer and gain leverage.”
“LLM coding will split up engineers based on those who primarily liked coding and those who primarily liked building.”

No, I have not yet installed Moltbot (Clawdbot) on my Mac Mini.
Instead I’m taking the time to download all my personal data off of the cloud, set up local sync bridges for email and all communication services I use, and learn how to configure nix / nix-darwin / Docker / VMs / dev containers so that all my personal agents run in local, deterministic environments I completely control and understand the surface area of.
Good interview with Geoffrey Huntley who pioneered the “Ralph Wiggum” method for software engineering (repeatedly invoking an LLM with deterministic, minimally-allocated context).
“Software development as a profession is dead but software engineering is very much alive.”

I had pretty much the exact same experience.
Agents have clearly just passed an inflection point. If you’re a builder and haven’t yet re-calibrated around this new reality, the next best time is now.
“Farcaster is the most successful subreddit of all time.”
“If you think of Farcaster as the best community of people building and experimenting onchain while sharing ideas of what the future looks like, you’re gonna have a great time.”
I have a great time. 🛠️
“Sending all your data to third party centralized services is unnecessary. We have the tools to do much less of that. We should continue to build and improve, and much more actively use them.”
