Used /fast a couple times today in Claude Code and... well that's fun. 🏎️

This was quite good—learned a ton about this messy situation Trump has put us in. Unfortunately, not inspiring. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/...

Remember like two weeks ago when we cared about saving context use

Has anyone else tried this with any success?

South by AI — AI-Powered SXSW Schedule Builder 4,000+ sessions. One quiz. Your SXSW schedule, built by AI in seconds.

60-second quiz — pick your badge, interests, vibe, which days you're there. It reads every session description and builds a conflict-free schedule. You can refine it through chat too ("more music, fewer panels" works).

SXSW starts today and there are 4,000+ events on the schedule. I'm not even going and I'm overwhelmed. So I pointed Claude at this last week and... it built a quiz that spits out a personalized schedule in about a minute. --dangerously-skip-permissions ftw

South by AI — Alex Priest 4,000 sessions. One quiz. I built an AI-powered SXSW schedule builder because I didn't want to read all those descriptions either.

Built the whole thing in about a week with Claude Code. Scraped all 4,000 sessions, set up a team of AI agents to handle frontend, design, copy, and QA in parallel. One person, twelve agents.

Still not an engineer. Still building things.

South by AI — AI-Powered SXSW Schedule Builder 4,000+ sessions. One quiz. Your SXSW schedule, built by AI in seconds.

So I built an AI-powered schedule builder. 60-second quiz, personalized schedule, refine it through chat. Not perfect, but way better than scrolling.

SXSW starts in two days and there are 4,000+ sessions on the schedule.

Every year the same thing happens... you open it, start scrolling, get overwhelmed, open 472 browser tabs, and end up with no plan. You're already exhausted and the fucking thing hasn't even started yet.

Also you can "always copy full response" 😍 I guess I need to revisit /config more often.

Just discovered that you can enable remote control for *all sessions* in Claude code... 👀

But today I'm betting that we need more than just fight to win here... we need someone who can energize the base *and* pull from the middle. I think that's @jamestalarico.bsky.social. Whatever you do... GO VOTE!

To be clear: @jasmineforus.bsky.social is remarkable and I deeply admire her service and her fight. I'll vote for her in November in a heartbeat, if she wins today. She would be an incredible senator for all Texans.

Texas hasn't elected a Democrat statewide since 1994. @jamestalarico.bsky.social flipped a Trump district. He leads with faith, working people, and finding common ground—but not in a watered-down way. He can walk into a room with people who disagree and keep them engaged (or even convinced).

Very, very excited and proud to have voted for @jamestalarico.bsky.social today. And while I love @jasmineforus.bsky.social, too, I felt compelled to vote for the person I think has the best chance of turning Texas blue in November.

I’m reaching the point where I’m almost willing to pay apps to hide their useless AI features (and this comes from someone who, generally, is a big user + optimist about AI), smh

For five YEARS I have had two documents folders in my iCloud (“Documents” and “Documents 2”) and my files have been an utter disaster. Today I discovered Forklift and I’M FINALLY SAVED from this mess of my own creation. Incredible software, worth every penny. binarynights.com

I’ve officially reached “volume discount” level for my impulse buying of domain names

“One of sludge’s most insidious effects is our ever-diminishing trust in institutions… Once that skepticism sets in, it’s not hard for someone like Elon Musk to gut the government under the guise of efficiency.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc…

This episode fucking wrecked me. Completely, utterly devastating. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/0…

One of the best articles I’ve read in a long time— “taste is the new intelligence.” I think I highlighted every paragraph. (h/t @kai_t_b) wildbarestepf.substack.com/p/taste-i…

I smashed my finger collapsing a stroller this afternoon (UGH) but gotta admit I got a kick out of this ChatGPT response when I asked about treating it. “booby-trapped ankle-snapping finger-gnashing hell machines masquerading as family gear.”

Unexpected — curious and excited to see what comes out of this. Congrats to @alexkehr and the Superlocal team! www.threads.com/@alexkehr…

This is such a fun word of the day—I had no idea “acme” had a meaning beyond the cartoons learnwithlookup.com/share/ind…

Great read, excellent renders—fun to imagine
