In the last 3 years I've became a father, a team lead, and a developer that instructs a bunch of AI agents for a living. Somehow all three of them feel like very similar jobs.

Here's a first look at my Apple Reminders 'rescheduler' app that makes it simple to balance your workload visually.
It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, shows you your calendar events to help with scheduling, and handles bulk rescheduling.
It has some delightful UI details, too – many thanks to @viticci who's been great to collaborate with on it.
There's still work to be done, but here are some early screenshots of it runing on the Duo simulator.

Introducing tiny.london
A massive isometric pixel map of London, based on amazing NYC demo by @_coenen from 9 months ago
My agent created the dataset, finetuned qwen image LoRA adapter, did a multiday inference run and built an efficient tile viewer!
I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents.
I didn't write a single line of code.
one of my favourite sunday activities: checking the global feed in miniroll.app and checking out interesting posts from blogs i've never seen before.

Honestly still don’t think enough is made of this basically being Scottish. The biggest entertainment release of all time - bigger than any film or TV series - and it all started above a chippy in Dundee and still largely comes out of Edinburgh. Mental.

very insightful and thought provoking video! i was suprised with the positivity and optimism to be honest, i've started to get used to seeing the various ai doomers
i'm fascinated how ai will affect mathematics and science. surely it will push the human race forward, but towards what?
I just lost 2 straight games of chess because I switched tab and forgot I was playing. my biggest opponent is me
code comments are the new code smell
ban and delete most if not all code comments!
agents love copying what already exists. a seemingly harmless comment explaining some temporary workaround is one of the worst viruses you can have in your codebase. like a weed it'll spread quickly as a tool for agents to quickly get their job done. before you know it, your codebase is overrun with hacks and stale comments. just one more workaround bro
you can use pstack's /no-comments skill as a weedkiller. it'll seek out useless comments while keeping the ones that actually should exist (like explaining a browser quirk), and figure out how to solve them on a first principles basis
here's a prompt you can try asking @bot:
create a project agent that uses /poteto-mode to spawn a /swarm to use /no-comments and identify useless code comments we can prune in my repo. come back with a high level plan of which of these workarounds would be best solved by refactoring and which we can straight up delete
