> Which company will win the AI race is anybody’s guess. Regardless, OpenAI’s embrace of the Anthropic business model makes one thing abundantly clear: For all the wonder and change that generative AI brings as a technology, there hasn’t been any real innovation in the business models of Silicon Valley. For decades, most tech companies have succeeded by either selling ads or selling enterprise tools. One day OpenAI or Anthropic might cure cancer and remake the world, but for now they still have to pay the bills.

I create a playlist for each month (e.g., 2026.01) inside of a folder of the corresponding year (e.g., 2026) and add new tracks there (instead of using Spotify likes). This allows me to jump back to a specific year/month. You can also hit play on the folder to play all songs from a specific year.

I used to have a single Inbox playlist to save music and keep the date when I saved each song.

Sharing a short post I posted a year ago with some thoughts on password managers.

## The password-management promise

> I don't buy the promise behind 1Password or LastPass.

> You only need to remember one password. The last password you'd need to remember.

> They don't tell you that you're also building a one-stop shop for hackers to steal it all at once.

> The solution?

> Store hints, not passwords.

> Don't reuse passwords. Use algorithmic passwords instead.

> Use passkeys and security keys.

I've always preferred 1Password and Bitwarden to LastPass.

I still prefer to encrypt sensitive data and "secure notes" with custom workflows (GPG keys, for instance) instead of relying on third parties, and even more when the data would be store in the cloud, in a centralized location.

I can't imagine the nightmare of having all your secrets exposed, not just for the risk of it but for having to reset all your exposed accounts.

(+1 to GPG encryption.)

The only thing WordPress and Laravel have in common is that both are written in PHP.

But if you've used Laravel, you know it's pleasant to write apps with it.
