My daughter loves "match 2 cards" games. Sadly, lots of iOS ones are filled with ads.
Time to vibe code one from scratch!
Getting to a working prototype in a couple of prompts is really exciting. Been meaning to give #Love2d a go for many years!

After 15 years on macOS, I’ve picked up Framework 13 with Ubuntu.
An ongoing 🧵 on trying to make it my daily driver.
🔒 1password exstension doesn't work in Firefox
Turns out, default snap- and flatpack-based Firefox outright refuses to connect to the desktop app. Known issue for several years.
Solution: use DEB-based FF. Steps: omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-…
📩 Thunderbird doesn't enable unified inbox by default.
This is basic functionality for pretty much all other email apps.
Solution: just enable unified inbox.

👀Claude handles an insane request:
“Remove the squid”
“The document appears to be the full text of the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. It doesn't contain any mention of squid that I can see.”
“Figure out a way to remove the 🦑“
Hot take: “ just add #AI ” is not a real business case.
I’m seeing a lot of tech teams resisting integrating AI, seeing it as more hype than utility without specific, tangible use cases.
Love this take on malleable software in the age of LLMs. Feels like #emacs might be the perfect medium for trying this out:
- everything is text
- decades of pre-existing code
- philosophy of fast feedback
- "editor for making editors"
Is X ok? Been stuck on this screen for hours, trying to give them money.
I’ve never seen a platform struggle with this. The whole “send us a text” is super janky.

7. Your company knowledge base just because one of the most valuable assets on your company balance sheet
It’s almost certainly:
1. Not structured appropriately or optimized for AI consumption
2. Not staffed appropriately for its new-found strategic importance
Congrats on the new Tablecloth release, @ezmiller! Github link in the opening paragraph leads to a squatter site in humanscode.com/columns-for-t… Caught me off-guard!

Huge day for alt data.👇
In Notion's Privacy Policy they mention that if they de-identify and/or aggregate the data you put in Notion, your data is not subject to their (already very one-sided) Privacy Policy and they have pretty much unlimited rights to do whatever they want with this information.
Now RenTech and Citadel can extract incremental basis points of alpha based on your intimacy logs you put in Notion. 🤫
Recently found out about datadeveloperplatform.org from @TheModernDataCo. Tried to find some discourse around, but it's an absolutely un-Googleable name. Data Mesh is much easier in that respect.
With all the SaaS boilerplates springing up (shout out to amazing @saaspegasus), who’s building one for #clojure? Would happily pay for it!
