Cool Link: OverpAId — Fire Your CEO. Hire The Future.

2026-07-23 01:08:19

OverpAId is not coming for the people who do the actual work. It is coming, with extreme prejudice, for exactly one category of job: the one that spent the last forty years insisting everyone else’s job was replaceable.

This is fantastic.

Quick Review: The Sopranos

The Sopranos
1999–2007, David Chase

My rating: Loved it!

What an incredible show! And to think it was made when nothing else on TV even came close. It’s easy to see how it inspired all the best shows that came after.

It’s a slow burn that really pays off over and over. And the ending is a masterpiece. 10/10 gabagools.

Cool Link: How AI Poisons Creativity

2026-07-17 00:03:31

by The Art of Storytelling

There will be at many points in your creative process opportunities to bypass the struggle of working and learning, but availing yourself of those shortcuts will gradually undermine your work in subtle ways that you cannot foresee.

So sure, go ahead and use generative fill to clean up your image. No one’s watching. I won’t tell anyone and no one will ever know. But you will pay a very small price in relieving yourself from the duty of learning some new Photoshop skills. You might not need those skills in this precise moment, but as you grow into your craft, those skills might come in handy in other ways that you do not presently anticipate.

While focused on people who do creative work, this video easily applies to everyone. It’s so easy to fall into the trap of letting the sparkles do something for you, and just as easy to prevent yourself from learning and improving because of that.

Even as someone who tries to limit and police my own usage of AI tools, I could see myself in a lot of these examples. Process isn’t only important to creative work; it’s important to our own personal development. AI can produce generic output that anyone else could, but only you, with your unique combination of skills and experiences accumulated over the years, can produce something unique.

Cool Link: Getting Started with Anchor Positioning

Another amazing Josh Comeau post that explains a new concept in a super easy to understand manner and makes me wanna try it out right now? Yes please.

The last time I saw the anchor positioning API, it looked kinda intimidating. Now it sounds so simple! I know there was work on the browser standards side to simplify it, so kudos to them for arriving at what seems to be a really sensible API.

Quick Review: Obsession

Obsession
2026, Curry Barker

My rating: Loved it!

One of the best (if not THE best) horror movies I’ve ever seen! Nikki is probably the most terrifying character I’ve seen in a movie, and so much of it is due to Inde’s acting and the amazing sound design.

This is Curry Barker’s first movie and I can’t wait for the next ones.
