🌎 Now redesigning the https://t.co/HGCLKS5BD6 profile trips globe from scratch I've always wanted to add space trips, so starting with the moon here which you can add as a future trip, also adding Mars etc. Other trips also need to work here though like going into orbit like @satofishi did on @SpaceX's Dragon capsule which will be more in reach for more people hopefully pretty soon! Quoting @levelsio ✨ Finally built a timeline for https://t.co/HGCLKS5BD6 now I always wanted to make my site a bit more social, because I had profiles and trip overlaps and you could kinda see where other people went, but not something like this So on this new page you can see people near you, where everyone's trave… Related

In Kody, you can have skills, but even better is documented utilities. It's basically a skill + a tool. Resulting in a much more reliable and repeatable outcome. Here's the code that lives in Kody and it's what agents get when they search for "merge a pull request" Related
Co-founder of Superlogical, started in 2026 to build server-side terminal infrastructure; creator of Ghostty. Co-founded HashiCorp and created Vagrant and Terraform before that.
Software should be fun. It should make you feel something, positive hopefully. Utilitarian software is the worst. The human experience is why life is worth living (even for something as teeny tiny as a terminal). Quoting @almonk importing your ghostty config to @superlogical is a moment to celebrate, right?

Author of The 4-Hour Workweek and Tools of Titans, and host of The Tim Ferriss Show podcast.
A big part of The 4-Hour Body (2010) was diversifying my identity. I felt this was a necessary step for my own personal preservation. I didn't want to put out "The 3 1/2 Hour Workweek" or "The 3-Hour Workweek." I also wanted to diversify the public perception of my expertise. I wanted people, hopefully, to read my material because of the way I deconstruct problems, not because of the specific subject matter. Related

And I I felt like, okay, well, if I just hopefully come out and say like, look guys, let's all recognize that we're in a bad equilibrium and let's move to this different equilibrium where we're we're plotting things with an X-axis

Well, I guess one of the perks of electing a bunch of Clowns is that you get to live in a Circus! This week our stock market has endured some of the wildest volatility since the Great Depression, all to end up right back where we started. Meanwhile, TRILLIONS of dollars were reallocated in the trading frenzy - hopefully you weren't on the losing side of any of this. Additional untold billions of dollars of wealth and productivity were permanently destroyed as the majority of US businesses have had to pause their hiring and buying decisions until all this political showmanship calms down.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
