I’m impressed at the number of friends that have stopped using cursor because of the SpaceX acquisition.

Accessibility question: I rely on text-to-speech, but the Claude CLI's formatted output breaks my native TTS, and turning on plain-text mode strips all the visual structure. Anyone built a dyslexia-friendly wrapper that keeps the formatting on screen but pipes clean text to TTS?

Happy birthday to one of the best places on the internet! Y'all are awesome. Can't wait to see what the next 15 look like.

Today is our 15th birthday. For 15 years, we’ve built and maintained Are.na independently with no institutional investors, sustained only by our members. We (quite literally) would not be celebrating our 15 years if it weren’t for you. Thank you ❤️❤️

I was job hunting recently, and one thing kept surprising me how many teams still build interactive prototypes in Figma. It became an early flag to watch out for in identifying teams that wouldn't be a good fit.

The problem is interactive demos. The second you prototype interaction in Figma, you're either doing the work twice or fighting messy cross-platform syncing to keep design and code from drifting apart, and fighting with their MCP tends to create more problems than progress.

So for me, code as the medium you design in feels more functional, but I'm curious how others are using non-code native design platforms in their own personal or team workflows.

I may regret this, but hoping to learn a lot either way. Crafting personal tools has become an obsession. With Cursor, I keep making software instead of buying it. And I want to hold myself to that for this year. gndclouds.earth/journal/curs…

AI tools really need to double down on system design. I know the pace of change is fast, but damn, the rate at which features move or are removed is wild.

why don't all headphones have a mute button?

I'm finding that I wish conversation threads in LLM tools worked more like tabs in arc, and just auto deleted after say 3 days.

I rarely go back to past chats and find that I will just ask a similar question a second time because in all likelihood the answer will be better the second time.

Anyone else noticing that search engine results are increasingly terrible?

Mirroring code-switching -- side-by-side reading was thinking more of each pair of book pages being connected. I was able to get into a good flow, but maybe the English should only be visible on highlight.

Interlinear code-switching -- more fully translation-focused, seeing both languages at the same time. When trying it, I find I need to focus more on not defaulting to the English, which feels like cheating.
