should i write a blog about when i used claude to reply to a gym + debt collection agency and negotiated to wipe my debt?
it went exactly like this: they refused to cancel my sub, i cancelled my DD, 6 months later: 300 pound debt in my inbox. a week of back and forth with claude: didn't have to pay anything

Next year, we will assign one issue to every kid in America.
This will be the first of many.
interactive components in the upcoming docs refresh @tangled_org!
extracted a reusable libghostty-vt backed terminal component for gpui:
tangled.org/oppi.li/gpui-ter…
if anything, i think it has made design way more enjoyable!
i can now blaze through several actual prototypes in under a day, insanely cheap to do that.
It’s over. I’m quitting design.
A client of mine just created a logo with Fable 5, and the result left me speechless.
It understood the brand story, values, audience, strategy, and turned all of it into a smart, minimal symbol. A genuinely brilliant concept. The kind of idea that captures everything at once. Something I honestly don’t think I would have come up with myself.
And it didn’t just nail the idea. It executed the design pixel-perfectly.
So I raise the white flag.
My skepticism about AI’s ability to do great design is officially gone.
There, I said it:
AI beat me at design.
Now that AI finally took my job, I can peacefully quit and dedicate my life to studying the only thing it may never achieve: human consciousness and the pathways to God.
Good luck everyone.
