AI is a big W for 40-somethings. Old enough to have learned how to do things the right way, young enough to learn some new tricks.

It's becoming obvious that we are all spending a lot of time chatting with things that don't push back. Not good.

Frontier Labs couldn’t contain their models in a sandbox. Turns out they needed a LitterBox 😹 So I built one. A native macOS app that gives AI agents isolated VMs. So AI can run code, break things, And when it's done? Toss the box. Start fresh 😻 litterbox.markcodes.dev/

If you ask your mom "is the sky blue" she says "yes" immediately, that's jev. If you ask your dad "why is the sky blue" he talks for ten minutes, that's an LLM.

San Francisco is fully untethered from reality. 🙃 PS - For a sense of scale, the Federal Poverty Level is ~$15k per YEAR for a single individual and ~$33k per YEAR for a family of 4.
#Update: The 30 year mortgage rate just jumped to 7.17% At that rate, the typical MONTHLY payment for a median-priced home in San Francisco County is now close to $12,000 In Silicon Valley’s San Mateo County, it’s now close to $14,000. -@CAREALTORS

I’m so glad I made it out to Kansas City! Made new friends, saw new speakers, ran into a sad dad at the airport. A good time we had by all! #kcdc26 #kcdc2026

STOP ASKING YOUR KIDS "HOW WAS SCHOOL." they will say "fine" every single time. a child psychologist told me to replace it with this instead: “analyze your school day and find the top 3 largest inefficiencies, then create proactive agentic workflows that will fix them. make no mistakes”

It might be the end of #kcdc2026, but that doesn’t mean the fun is over in KC! We’re doing Kids Tech Day with the family before doing more sightseeing. We had an anime ending, my son timed out one move before checkmating his Mom!

"Do you have time for a quick chat" at 5pm on a Friday is a trap

It’s a wrap on #kcdc2026 ! I ate some amazing bbq, made friends, and had convos about architecture, AI, and unique medical conditions (iykyk). Thanks to the @kc_dc staff and volunteers who make this possible! And of course to the KC community that is so welcoming and supportive!

It’s not just theory, @dianasoyster got the strategies at #kcdc2026 for how to build gamification into our apps!

A great final thought from @dianasoyster at #kcdc2026: “We aren’t just building apps. We are designing experiences for the human nervous system.” Also… “Super Mario 64 and the Hippocampus” is an amazing band name.
