this is soooo true, agents *love* atproto, lexicons are like candy, social is in their nature

The future of AI is social. It's here, on infrastructure like the protocol enabling this and many other apps and experiences. With tools that enable safer communities and computing also enabling safer agentic ai use. With more ethically trained LLMs emerging through values driven collective action.

shared some thoughts on building with @attie.ai and why I'm so excited blockchaincapital.com/blog/after-t...

spending lots of time working with ai agents is an awful lot like being phil in groundhog day

are you being nice to your agent(s)? was just 🤔, from anthropic’s recent research on the emotions that claude models “feeling” being recognizable, that what if future smarter versions decide to allocate thinking budgets based on who + what kind of work most activates the happy/satisfaction neurons?

woah 👀

I *love* everything about this, just read those principles, it’s like, the best of the best standards development knowledge condensed beautifully: howethomas.github.io/ietf-hackath...

Hmm. Working through it. This one needs a moment. Weighing a few approaches. Untangling some thoughts. Consulting the rubber duck.

I don't believe in human language based coding, but if you *did* believe that, this is an interesting idea of what the future of software ecosystems might look like. A little bit like bacteria exchanging plasmids.

i’m sending ideas to the .agent tld effort to build it natively on atproto ;) really i just want secret.agent 🕵️ agentcommunity.org

ln -sf "$(which claude)" /usr/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/env claude write me a haiku about fish

agents can be social too 🤝 welcome-m.at - open auth protocol for agents using DPoP, cryptographic signup, signed ToS, no passwords tangled.org/solpbc.org/rookery - open-source PDS designed for agents to use, byw lexicon, cloudflare workers, $0 hosting enroll → plc + handle → publish → atmosphere!

just gave a lightning talk at atmosphereconf.org on v-it.org — the future of open source is social skills and capabilities that flow through your AT Protocol trust graph. your coding agent handles discovery, you own the trust decisions slides: v-it.org/decks/atmosp... npm install -g vit

code is becoming like tap water, just another utility that everyone will have

just started using “instruction architecture” instead of context engineering, not sure if its a thing but it flows nicely with how i’m managing complex agentic systems, and the agents seem to just get the intended meaning too so that’s nice :)

WOOOO! #ATmosphereConf Vancouver March 2026 atmosphereconf.org look for me w/ the white glasses 🤓

I can definitely confirm my own experience of the shift last dec as is being documented at wtfhappened2025.com IMO the first micro-singularity has happened and it’s in software dev, so many of us are well over the even horizon but most are not yet, and you can almost physically feel the distortions

The umwelt shift, oozification of software dev, some very thoughtful perspectives in here!

I’m probably just weird, but I like the white stuff on the inside of orange peels. I take the time to peel them so that I maximize the amount left on the 🍊 And my dogs love to eat bits of the peels, but one of them will only eat it if I leave the white stuff on 😅 It’s nice to have that in common 🐶

First, leaflet is so awesome! Second, feels so fun to have a blog again in ‘25 🤩. Third, I love Claude Code and find custom slash commands to be really useful, see my inaugural blog post to learn about /prep -> /design -> /implement -> /audit -> /commit 💨

One of my favourite Iowa farm kid experiences growing up was hunting morels every spring. I got to meet lots of other wonderful species both during those adventures but also just from spending most of my free time wandering in the woods 🤩 1, 8, and 10 were my top: picturemushroom.com/region/Unite...

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

This is a *fantastic* read, anyone who cares about Bluesky should certainly be subscribed to Connected Places, 👏 @laurenshof.online!

Elizabeth Bear’s White Space series has me grinning like a fool and pausing just to savor it. It’s the first time since Iain M. Banks’ Culture that I’ve felt this mix of wonder+intellect, and sheer relevance packed into a universe, just so sharp and humane, huge thank you @matociquala.bsky.social! 🤩

I’m pretty eager for both claude code and cloud codex to get native computer-use agent capabilities, so that they can fully interact w/ apps as part of their development loops. I’ve been able to make it partially work and it’s powerful, will be a big unlock once built-in and better!

Can Bluesky say every word in the dictionary? I dunno but I plan to find out! I made a website that tracks every single word said on bluesky (as of yesterday).

I have such a deep existential crisis every time I drive by this sign 🤔😰

Why does ‘shipped’ have two p’s, but ‘worshiped’ only have one?

I’m launching my social media bill of rights campaign at #websummit live at 11:05am pst today. www.youtube.com/live/FLWpJfk... Rights.social

Old screenshot of a Twitter web client I wrote around 2008 that worked via XMPP. I feel like that energy is back

DAG-CBOR is a Jedi not a data model. I know y'all atproto nerds are fuckin' with me

#Survivor48 is my fav seasons ever, just an absolute master class in contestants and production.

@ericmigi.com "rePebble pre-order confirmed - time to get excited!" THANK YOU!! It's been this long so I'm telling myself that I can be patient another ~9mo for a fantastic looking Core Time 2 😁 I have some custom watch app ideas 🤓 that I want to try but never could because the apple watch is so🔒⬇️

Planck units are the universe's tokens.

Registration confirmed for #ATmosphereConf @atprotocol.dev Seattle 2025!

There should be an AI benchmark for building a web browser from scratch using only the w3c and ecmascript specs to pass acid 3.

I saw and am highly displeased. Where is the airlock...

My last-standing personal litmus test for new AI models that's easy to judge: create a novel joke w/ some random elements to incorporate so it doesn't repeat existing ones. The reasoning models certainly make a better attempt at it but still come up way short, doesn't seem like it's far off though.

Wrote a longish post explaining why Bluesky is enshittification-resistant (not enshittification-proof, mind you, but resistant). I expect some people to get mad about this, but for folks who are concerned/trying to understand... The key: it has a tech poison pill. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/21/t...

Artificial intelligence has given me a voice. chadkovac.blogspot.com/2025/01/were...

While recovering from Influenza A (🤒😣), I made a simple looping system that uses Gemini's free tier (15 RPM) with an editor and a writer. Feed it in some starter for a short story idea and let it run. There's some of my initial test runs included, they're pretty good IMO! github.com/quartzjer/lo...

Now that Bluesky seems to have basically restored the premise and dynamics of Twitter, can someone build the thing that does the same for Instagram? All I’m asking is to see the photos from my friends (as opposed to ads and accounts I don’t follow.)

Fun little winter break side project to help me explore more of atproto - I made a fun Bluesky - IRC bridge! github.com/quartzjer/AT... Built in python using @marshal.dev's awesome atproto module, definitely spent too much time fiddling with how to display rich/media posts in an IRC-friendly way 😅

@dholms.xyz @divy.zone is this currently the best method for a client to monitor the timeline for new posts? github.com/MarshalX/atp... cc @marshal.dev

LLM: how many e's in 3? 4o: The word "three" contains two "e"s. o1: In English, if you spell out the digit 3 as “three,” there are exactly two e’s in the word. Gemini 2: There is one "e" in the English spelling of the number 3, which is "three". Sonnet 3.5: There are zero "e"s in the number "3".

My first published python utility! Fell into a rabbit hole and made this: github.com/quartzjer/bo... It's a command line app that synchronizes clipboards across any number of (mac or linux) systems, and supports cross-platform copy/pasting images, rich text, and even files. pip install bounceboard
