The 1% in Cursor was for design intervention. Design is still the one area that needs the most human intervention. Working on an interface like feels like AI tools and I are sculpting the same block of marble.

Yesterday I vibe coded a goal tracking app for my wife and I replacing a Notion template I created. 99% codex high, 1% IDE. Insane what’s possible with these models.

When you finally remember to start your robot vacuum and mop while you’re gone for the day, and 10% in… 🙈

Sometimes we all need a 24 hour power outage to fully clear out your fridge and start over. 😂😭💸

I like keeping spec markdown files around for LLMs but integration docs in GitHub issues. Branches and PR’s can reference the GH issue and close it.

PR title I am super proud of, and validated the numbers, on a major feature of our app: "fix critical memory leak - 98% memory reduction" 🤟🏻

The funniest line from a Stratechery update by far, “Will I get an advertisement for F1 if I exceed the speed limit using Apple Maps?”—that had me immediately break out in laughter. 😆

Are you watching Apple TV in Apple TV on Apple TV?

No not yet. Odd time to ask? 🤔 The answer ended up being no but the survey disappeared by the time it responded.

Between a stimulus and our response to it, there’s a space. And in that space lies our power to choose how we respond.

In the relevant Apple OS 26 variant the Apple Fitness app on Apple TV connecting to my Apple Watch Ultra is a regression from the previous OS. I now have to open the Workout app on my watch and sometimes force quit it to be seen on the Apple TV. Not good.

"Perfect! Now I have the full picture. Let me provide you with a comprehensive optimization plan." Nothing makes me MORE skeptical of what comes after.

Again, ChatGPT's 4.5's ability to refine writing is unparalleled. I might be able to get there with. GPT 5 but it'll require much more prompting.

Tomorrow I will test the AirPods Pro 3 and find out of Apple will change my opinion that Bluetooth microphones are among the worst sounding microphones I've ever heard in my life. Stay tuned.

Well... that's certainly kind of you... 😅

One of the best Labor Day weekends in NJ I can remember. Hope everyone is enjoying theirs!

Finally switched fully to my Moonlander. Split keyboards once felt out of reach, until it clicked. I type fast and don’t look at keys, but this was harder than expected—mentally remapping keys slows me down. Still, I’m happier, and my shoulders thank me daily.

Just finished “Apple in China.” I’ve disagreed with many Apple decisions; this book connects the dots and reshaped my understanding. Patrick McGee’s storytelling is top-notch. Highly recommended!

I don’t start by making things simple; I sit patiently with the complexity, mapping out edge cases and user mental models until the elegant patterns surface. Only then do I craft intuitive systems that simplify complexity into experiences that feel inevitable.

TIL Discord doesn't open if it can't update. It just keeps retrying.

What’s a piece of tech you still use today even though it’s totally outdated?

“You only have control over three things in your life – the thoughts you think, the images you visualize, and the actions you take.” ― Jack Canfield

I did it! I finished a pen!

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Absolutely loving my new Moonlander keyboard! I had to hit backspace more times writing this than on a normal layout but my shoulders, wrist and fingers are so much happier using this keyboard. ❤️

I agree with DHH. The decade‑long churn in frameworks and tools from 2010 - 2020 sucked. It was incredibly painful.

I’m not intimidated by being around people smarter than me—I’m inspired by them, seeing each interaction as an opportunity to learn, grow, and amplify my own potential.

When GPT-4.5 is retired, OpenAI and ChatGPT will no longer provide a model nearly as effective for refining written drafts. It's exceptionally good at clarifying my thinking during the revision stage, delivering unmatched quality in refined writing.

During high traffic time I could understand why this happens, but at 4AM I am getting this message, too? It's obvious OpenAI has been having issues with the ChatGPT in recent months.

Friday morning deck vibe

Cursor AI turned into Bart Simpson.

Folks, they’re developer betas. And you know what? They’re all a heck of a lot nicer than any beta I’ve ever built or worked on. 😂

Comfort is the enemy of growth.

Exceptional interface design. developer.apple.com/videos/play/...

I told my AI to be more human. Now it procrastinates and overthinks everything.

Where are your "CSS isn't a programming language" gods now!?

So that's what Jony's been up to lately. Huh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W09b...

The new Dunkin Donuts in town has the brand typeface on the pavement markings.

There’s no way to close this modal without signing up. 🙈

Why yes, I will be your A/B tester OpenAI. 😂 #chatgpt

You might want your UX designer to take another look at this...

ChatGPT's read aloud feature is really nifty. It reads responses like an audiobook. The functionality is buggy though and player controls need more features. It's nice doing the dishes and hearing great responses.

Spent 20 minutes recording a 10 minute video yesterday using Screen Studio‘s new pause feature. At 2:15 the screen locked on the recording. 🙈 Mouse movement, my voice—everything else was perfect for the rest of the videoexcept the screen was like a screenshot. 😭

In today's polarized climate it takes courage to stand in the gray, genuinely listening to both sides. Respect to everyone embracing nuance over division.

Since we have abandoned mine shafts under north NJ, why not just pay Elon to get his Boring machines out and double the bandwidth of 80? The work is half done.

What nobody is talking about is that the ChatGPT image model is also available in 4.5. Here’s the same prompt in 4.5.

If you have ChatGPT Plus or higher and can use the new image model, put a photo of you in and prompt, "Transform me into a Pixar character". Reply with how it looks. Here's mine. 😄

If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you’re needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person. Seneca

New ChatGPT image model dropped today. What do we think? Did it do a good job transforming me into a Pixar character?
