Scripting News: Saturday, June 27, 2026
Claude can understand code no human could. Ever, under any circumstances. Just like a compiler can understand any code we throw at it. Way beyond what code obfuscation tools can do.#
In our work we have arrived at the point where we read and study a piece I published in 1997, but was written in 1988 or so. Esp the part about LBBS. It's a really good thing I wrote that because I forgot how it worked, but reading that it all comes back. We're going to go far beyond where Twitter went with reading message structures on the web. I had already done a lot of the work in the 80s. #
The other day Matt joked about how old I am, in public, and I am pretty old. But Matt, I was paying attention then as I am now, and connecting the dots. No one else working today, I'd venture, knows what it's like to create and run a modem-based dial-up Twitter-like system on an Apple II with a 10MB Corvus hard drive. Yet it worked, and people loved it. If you weren't alive in 1981, you wouldn't know anything about this. I remember talking with Doug Engelbart when I was running UserLand. If you don't know who he is, look him up. He blazed a trail we were turning into a highway, and we're all using his inventions all the time. Every chance I got to sit down with him I did. I wanted him to work with us, to critique everything we were doing. He had a lot of knowledge that disappeared when he passed on a few years later. That's the sad thing, at my advanced age, that I am trying to avoid. And btw, as surprise, Claude really understands this stuff. I've never seen anything like it with a human, and I've worked with some great humans. #

Moneyball is coming to Netflix next week. A great movie if you like sports or business or even better the business of sports. And the story is fantastic, as are Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. One of those movies I'll watch whenever it's on.
