Sorry all, had to temporarily disable logins. My server was not expecting so many people to be so into RSS! Will try and get it back up ASAP.

Oops, I started a new project: Skyreader, an RSS reader on the AT Protocol. Share cool articles like it's 2010 and Google Reader would never die. skyreader.app www.disnetdev.com/blog/2026-01...

Flint now has live markdown preview and much improved search! www.disnetdev.com/blog/2026-01...

Starting some 2025 reflection posts on my blog (little late but ah well). First up: books I read. "The Unaccountability Machine", "Deep Response", "Abundance", "More Everything Forever", "Termination Shock", "Frankenstein" www.disnetdev.com/blog/2026-01...

what an affordable bird

a lotta yall still don’t get it you can use multiple polecats on a single refinery

I just tried conductor.build and oh no I'm going to start hitting claude code usage limits again aren't I

New blog post: Don't fall into the anti-AI hype. antirez.com/news/158

i think a core beef that i have with a lot of this "automation is bad" sentiment lately is that there is no inherent moral good in laboring the story of humanity is one of invention, where we improve our conditions by building things that help us do more things more easily

Big updates for Flint, my note-taking project. Spent the holidays reworking just about all of it. New UI. New backend. Now uses Automerge for a local-first foundation. You can try it out right now in your browser: app.flintnote.com

all meaning has collapsed in our post-literate society and i wrote a bunch of useless, useless words about it. read it if you, like me, are one of a diminishing minority who still reads www.theverge.com/policy/84960...

google: we have invented agi but have hidden it in such an obscure website no one will ever find it anthropic: through our interpretability research, we discovered claude imagines himself wearing a bow tie at all times openai: we added slot machines

Blogged about my recent work on Flint. So much good stuff: review mode, EPUB/PDF/Web viewer, decks, open source, and more! www.disnetdev.com/blog/2025-12...

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

This is a good manifesto. Exactly what I'm trying to build with Flint. resonantcomputing.org

Wait, o1 only came out a year ago!? Feels like we've had reasoning models way longer.

Blogged about how I'm designing Flint to make note capture as zero-friction as possible. The key is designing for different organizing time horizons (defer but track). Also, Flint is now in open beta! Try it out if note-taking sounds interesting: www.flintnote.com www.disnetdev.com/blog/2025-11...

Same. Claude has basically replaced the todo list on my phone. Great idea while out and about? Just kick off a Claude session and at the very least I'll have an interesting plan to tweak later.

Flint is really coming together. My Thanksgiving week project was adding experimental EPUB support. Now you can highlight and chat with the LLM about your books!

If everything is a top priority, then everything gets done quickly. That's basic management

you can't make me learn what "cloudflare" is. I shouldn't have to know these things. I have a sensitive artistic spirit

Wrote up how note-taking apps are kinda weird and how to design for that weirdness. www.disnetdev.com/blog/2025-11...

I hope as we move past the first wave of AI criticism ("it doesn't work, all hype") we get a new wave of AI criticism rooted in the acknowledgement that, yes, these systems are very powerful & quite useful and focusing a deep exploration of when AI uses are uplifting and when they are detrimental.

Oh wow Haiku 4.5 is incredible. Fast is a feature and a fast model this good feels like a step change.

Wrote about a new project I'm working on. It's a note-taking/thinking-system app that evolved out of an experiment with using just an MCP server for taking notes. Turns out you need a UI. www.disnetdev.com/blog/2025-10...

Was on a support chat to replace a failing monitor today and it's oddly comforting to see slightly awkward english phrasing and realize they haven't been replaced by an LLM. "Be assured i will help you with the resolution." You know what? As a matter of fact I am assured.

Wrote a lot of thoughts on junior developers, AI, and what I strongly feel is going to become the defining challenge of our industry's next generation. www.zacsweers.dev/forklifts-re...

I’ve been experimenting with building a GTD system in plain text with Flint. I think it’s kinda neat. www.disnetdev.com/blog/2025-07...

New post on working more effectively with Claude: "Help Me Think This Through". TL;DR Normal conversation works a million times better than the most perfect, hand-crafted "context engineering" open.substack.com/pub/wycats/p...

PRODUCTIVITY HACK: be mentally ill but in the productive way

📢 Here's my new fav way to wrangle multiple claude terminals. steipete.me/posts/comman...

Tiny little context engineering thing I learned today: when working with coding agents switch your test reporter to a more concise output like dot rather than having it spew tons of "test foo passed". The agent only needs to see the failures.

Wrote about Flint Note. I've been chasing the perfect note-taking system for years but every tool eventually became a prison when my thinking changed. Built an MCP server to solve that - markdown + AI agents that adapt to your workflows. Let me know what you think! www.disnetdev.com/blog/2025-06...

Claude needs to stop telling me I'm absolutely right all the time or I'll absolutely start believing it
