Interesting points in this blog post by Andrew Murphy (via Nick Heer) about how writing code faster isn’t the problem. But most of it is really about large teams that have bureaucratic delay fish.
AI can be empowering for small teams. I’m probably shipping software twice as fast with half the bugs.

I’m fixing several things in the iOS app for Micro.blog… If anyone wants to get on the beta, you can join TestFlight here. Will ship to everyone and Android in about a week.

While walking around Disneyland Paris yesterday, I was thinking about the parks I’ve visited and the others around the world. So today on the train I decided to make a list on my blog.
It was a good excuse to use Micro.blog photo collections too. See this GitHub Gist for the source.

Kimberly KG reflects on the latest from our president:
And yet, he’s still in office. Still not being held accountable. Who are we?
To keep our sanity, over the last year we’ve gone from outrage to mocking. Watch how late night TV makes fun of the ridiculous and dangerous things that Trump says. But surely with the Iran war this has turned a corner from the absurd and mostly bad just for our country to the potentially catastrophic.
He must be removed from office as soon as possible. See also this video predicting exactly that from James Carville. 🇺🇸

Really enjoyed my short time in Paris. I generally think that Europeans have gotten so many things right that we Americans are still struggling with. But… what is with all the smoking, still, in 2026? Someone should tell them it’s bad for you. 🚬

I like this thought from @patrickrhone:
The biggest danger with AI is that it is a shortcut around things that matter. Things that matter intellectually, things that matter socially, and things that matter emotionally.
I think that’s right. We have to make deliberate choices, which is hard right now because AI is like, “Hi, I can do everything for you.” But what actually makes us uniquely human? What has more value and meaning if we do it ourselves? I want shortcuts that give us more time for those things that matter. (And it’s complicated because that might not be the same for everyone.)
