Slowly reading “Seeing that Frees” by Rob Burbea.

Highly recommended if you want to challenge your view of the world.

Meetup.com is terrible and we definitely need a replacement. But this is not it.

What’s great about it? I shudder every time some product manager sends out a miro link.

People should try Kinopio.

The anthropomorphic delusion about LLMs being a coherent entity, with memory and continuity (which is also a delusion even when it comes to humans), quickly evaporates when you realize that each message in a chat is a completely separate stateless API request, and the only trick fueling the illusion is that the previous messages are sent to the server along with your new message. So AGI or not, it’s just a process that exists literally for the duration of one API request.

I've written two QA skills for our app: 1) flow discovery, and 2) e2e implementation.

The first one scans the app and detects critical flows, happy paths, unhappy paths, invariants. Writes an invariant matrix across app domains and surfaces, and maps acceptance criteria to each.

The second actually implements the flows as e2e tests (Playwright for web, Maestro for mobile). Tests are run locally before a PR is submitted, with a video recording. The video + screenshots are posted in the PR body. A rule in CLAUDE.md says "No PR w/o visual evidence!".

CI runs the suite depending on touched code.

It's nice to lay back and watch the runner click through your app.

Cute font!

Round, like we’re trending towards Comic Sans but still professional.

Looks cool!

I took a similar approach with https://runmachine.dev/ but later switched to OrbStack for iOS development.

After they acquired Meetup.com, subscription prices skyrocketed while nothing useful was added to the product.

29€ a month just to host a meetup page with RSVPs.
