Wednesday, June 3, 2026 We need a social web for nobodies. # Claude is much better at starting from scratch with a big piece of code than humans are. It can suck in a full app and all its dependencies in a few seconds. For me, I would never get there. A finished piece of software is much bigger than people think, because the details are mostly pretty well hidden. But if you want to work on the code, you have to worry about it all. But I just had a minute to ask Claude why I made a certain decision a couple of months ago, and it found the answer in its notes and then I remembered it. This is one of many ways it rewrites the rules of building software out of a big library of components. It can manage complexity for you which means of course we will make more complex software and at the same time make it simpler. Code complexity becomes something you don't have to trade off against, like time vs space, the oldest tradeoff in software. # Useful co...

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 This podcast is called MacWrite for the web. A coral reef for writing. I think the pieces are coming. We just need a little Ice-nine . # Dries : "For an Open Source company, the test is not only what they build for themselves. It is what they help build for everyone." # On Twitter : "I envision a network of twitter-like systems built out of components of the web and nothing more. Every part replaceable." # The only twitter-like system that does text right is Elon Musk's X. I find that somewhat ironic. It's also the only twitter-like system where there's any kind of an actual community. They also have an API that works, has been around for more than a couple of years, and doesn't have a W3C working group messing with it. There's a lot of hype flying around, and we don't have any real journalists covering it so there is no real source of truth. I think the entrepreneurial t...

Monday, June 1, 2026 John C Reilly has only one audiobook, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . But it's the best audiobook I've ever read, because the narrator and the book are great, esp together. Wish he would do more. Also there's a great interview with him on the Rachel Martin podcast . # If you work at Automattic as a developer, if there's another Radical Speed Month for devs, if you want, let's work on a project together even though I don't work for the company. I'm most interested in making products work together where the result gets people thinking about the web in a new way. A8C has a big enough product set, and FeedLand and WordLand are by design well-equipped to talk with other products. I love APIs and we have some good ones to work with, and some very underexplored (imho because we got too fixated on the silos for so long). Very much open to ideas, and I love working with good developers. Maybe I'll post...

Sunday, May 31, 2026 The purpose of standards is interop. That's it. No other purpose. # Just watched the first episode of Star City , really good. Somewhat like The Americans, but takes place in the USSR. A spinoff of For All Mankind , which started out interesting and then became unwatchable, though I did enjoy the sets on Mars. I also liked the character who was inspired by Elon Musk, obviously. # There have been problems reported with subscribe.scripting.com . At least some of them are fixed. It's hard to test this kind of software because you can't really tell what went wrong. If people report problems they just say it didn't work. But real problems were fixed, so if you've had trouble subscribing or unsubscribing, now is a good time to try again. And thanks for your patience, and sorry for the screwy app. ;-) # How bad was it with the Knicks. As something of a joke, but not really, Knicks fans would disguise th...

Saturday, May 30, 2026 If I ran Bluesky, instead of trying to fork the web, I'd be trying to become the competitor of Twitter's that is 100% web top to bottom. # Review of standard.site # I walked through standard.site with ChatGPT. You can do it too if you want to find out what it is. I was interested in knowing how it compares to RSS 2.0 and FeedLand. # I want a quick overview of standard.site with a simple example. # Seems like RSS mostly. # We have a firehouse for feeds on the web emanating from FeedLand, based on rssCloud. # We are the web’s social web. # Why do the proponents of standard.site use AT Proto. What’s the advantage? # Very often links from ChatGPT don't work, but I'm including the link here in case it does. You can have the conversation on your own. # I asked ChatGPT to produce a summary of the results, and asked it not to tilt it in favor of the formats ...

Friday, May 29, 2026 Yesterday I applied to speak at WordCamp US in August and I also posted bits to my account on Twitter. I got a really nice response from the main WordPress account. Thank you. I now have a platform to speak to the community, and I'll do my best to outline what I have in mind in August in Phoenix. How appropriate that the phoenix is the symbol of rebirth . # I have the most followers on Twitter, Bluesky has never come close. I can't get anything to happen on Bluesky, but Twitter is great. Yesterday I had an idea, put it up on twitter and within a few hours I got the connection I was hoping for. It's a network, and it's more defined by who's there than who owns it. I can use it for idea distribution, the ideas find more minds and sometimes that results in benefits for the web. It's all about interop, and weirdly the pwned Twitter is much better for idea distribution than any of the other networks. In a sane worl...

Thursday, May 28, 2026 I've hesitated at calling FeedLand a feed reader. I'm concerned people would stop listening right there. They know what a feed reader is. But FeedLand is not like most feed readers. Your subscription list is public, as it is in Twitter. This is my subscription list . When you're looking at someone else's list, there's a checkbox next to each feed. If you're subscribed to the feed the checkbox is checked. If you see one that looks interesting that you're not following, click to subscribe. Nothing else, no dialogs, confirmations -- one click. It has other features that are amazing that no other feed reader has, like a very powerful connection between categories and OPML subscription lists. And whole new way to use OPML lists -- in FeedLand you can subscribe to OPML lists. Think about that for a minute. It's also quite stable, and I took some time to make it a bit faster in certain important areas (coming soon). A...

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 Now I have to write about the Knicks. It just hasn't fully sunk in yet that they won the East. You get to put a banner up for that. And next week we'll be watching them in the NBA finals. But it's the team that matters, not the trophies. Brunson is great, despite what I wrote after they went down 2-1 vs the Hawks in the first round. But the other players are great too in different ways. And there are so many of them, not just the starters. Every one with a distinct personality and all of them super smart and committed to the team and each other. What makes it work? You can see it in how they play -- trust. They trust each other. Their fates are intertwined. And they knew it before they had this amazing streak of wins in the post-season. I love the Knicks even when they lose. I'm not sure how you love them when they are champions. We'll figure it out. # I came across this photo of the Knicks celebrating, with OG...
