I can’t believe it’s been nine years of position: sticky already

I’ve wanted to do this! Nice to see the thinking and have a way to talk to the AI as it works.
Funny that this interaction pattern only works because AI is slow to process. As hardware gets better and processing gets faster this will necessarily go away.
this is silly
I like having two projects. Having multiple is good because switching back and forth helps me get un-stuck on problems. Any more than two makes it impossible to dedicate enough attention to each one.
This is insane
This is awesome. I’ve never struggled with remembering these, but I love the techniques
This is such a funny demo concept. I love it
What drawing tool are you using?

You have the wisdom of crowds in your pocket, available to answer your most specific questions on demand.
I use it when I want to know
"what would a thoughtful, well-researched crowd say?" My job is to be the unitary executive who makes final decisions and takes accountability for them.
1) Al is a consensus machine
2) Al answers the question "what does a good response to this prompt look like?"
Al is not a ground truth machine
The new @codepen.io compiler seems very good. They've brought so much clarity to a messy ecosystem of tools.
Vertical jobs—where you end-to-end solve a problem—seem more stable right now than horizontal jobs, where you specialize in doing one slice of a process.
Just deleted my ChatGPT account. I'd rather use an LLM from a company that aligns with my values. I don't support mass surveillance or AI weapons without a human in the loop, and OpenAI does.
The decision was made easier by just how good the other LLMs are. We are spoiled for choice!
Four months later, AI agents have crossed a threshold. They're a permanent part of my toolbelt now.
I think soon the specs and tests will BE the software
Nice! I’m surprised Meta was okay giving up control. There must be something I don’t understand about the incentIves at play.
I‘ve been writing a big spec for a library I’m working on and I really enjoy it.
I’ve always liked UI work because I get to spend my time designing an output that feels good. Now API design feels similar.
Underrated! Most things can afford to go offline for a bit. It’s okay.
This is so healthy! What a great way to sustain the community for the long term.
I am building an alternative to the open source library MathQuill for inputting math equations on the web
A classroom setting is certainly one major use case for multiplayer
Stellar article. I’m still excited about building realtime math collaboration even though I mostly agree with the takeaways.
I’ve never seen @jay.bsky.team miss. Bluesky team has their eye on the ball
Those things change often but are also low effort so I don't consider it a waste of time.
Aside from that, agents really like using CLIs, so investing in that makes sense, I don't know if you saw what Hono was doing or not: blog.yusu.ke/hono-cli/
I wrote about the most ambitious form of AI-assisted software development I've seen yet - Strong DM's "Software Factory" approach, where two of the guiding principles are "Code must not be written by humans" and "Code must not be reviewed by humans" simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/7/s...
Thank you!
What are the best @standard.site reader apps? I want to subscribe to everyone's blogs!
You don't have to niche down _that_ far to find something that only 20 other people care about as much as you
What a miracle to live in a time where you can find & befriend everybody who cares about a hyper-specific niche as much as you do.
Now I understand how the punchcard → C folks felt when they saw my generation learning JavaScript and Python without knowing fundamentals
