Level of phishing scams are becoming unreal. Our finance depart just got a very official looking email, _from me_, instructing them to pay the attached invoice. Looked super legit. Lucky for me, I am cc'd on all invoicing emails, so I was able to point it out. Scary. Watch yourselves out there.
Scrolling multiple sources in the main window within floating boxes
These demos showing virtual scrolling with clayterm are kind of amazing.
If this is cryptic, what I mean is that state management becomes trivial, stored in local variables, and "reactivity" devolves into a for-loop over events.
Not fully arrived at this take yet, but beginning to strongly suspect that JSX only grew out of the JS world lacking structured concurrency.
The tragedy of the 2010s: Just as we grew to love Bublé, Bieber became nearly unbearable.
It irks me to no end that you apparently cannot buy sugar that is both organic _and_ does not come in a plastic casing.
"Wait, were you just manually pushing the dispatch button every day?"
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE GITHUB WORKFLOW
Same. Twitter turned into coin operated cesspool, and any and all upsides disappeared. That said, the screws were being turned on 3rd party apps and workflows for years before professor douchebag showed up, and my usage had already dropped significantly.
Coding is dead is dead.
What's the wisdom on OSS licensing in the age of AI? Like I'm ok with folks using our open source as a reference implementation, but how do you ensure that you get credit?
Added "line" mode to clayterm to support nice interactions in normal scrolling CLIs. The trick:
1. render frame continuously into the region at the bottom.
2. "commit" the final frame to scroll history. Non-terminal pipes like CI logs see the last frame only, so look nice

My 1.8 billion dollar AI startup will let you watch Knight Rider re-runs in your command terminal.
Mythos has already discovered "thousands" of vulnerabilities across every major OS and browser. Translation: we're gonna need multiple data centers to patch the security holes created by each data center's worth of software. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/t...
You may not care about code quality anymore, but nevertheless, code quality cares about you.
It's an even more important constraint when you have agents writing concurrent code
New pet peeve. WASM packages that can only be initialized once per process
Every week after Sunday school, I'd walk home and turn on professional wrestling. Quite the whiplash in content now that I think about it, but it seemed normal at the time.
They're handing out jetpacks and an unlimited supply of free fuel, but no protective gear. SPOILER ALERT: laws of physics still apply.
Don't really need to tune in to see how it landed. Can you spot 9pm EST on the timeline?
"X would never have happened if not for the failing of some un-named developer" is the most tired trope in software.
One or both of these is true:
1. A human pressed the release button, but the checks put in place by the AI failed to catch the leak.
2. A human was forced to override the AI written release process because it sucked.
These are organizational and process failures, not "human" ones.
Feels very disingenuous for Anthropic to blame the Claude Code leak on "human error" after bragging for months about how deeply integrated AI is into their devops deployment and release flows.
Wired up "hit detection" to emit hover, enter, and leave pointer events inside clayterm.

Thin socks are a young man’s game.
The router that stands between my house and the internet is named "Minas Tirith"
I have never named a piece of hardware more appropriately.
Developers who make systems they _understand_ don't need to worry about job security from AI as much as tech pundits and educators do. This is because the AI can provide both those services but embedded directly into the context of exactly what you're building down to the current character.
Some new Project / CI badges for this brave new frontier
Whipped up a quick app with clayterm explore the Kitty Keyboard Protocol which I learned most modern terminal emulators implement to progressively enhance terminal input sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboa...
