15 September
Independent iOS developer and podcaster; co-hosts the Accidental Tech Podcast and Analog(ue), and makes the apps Callsheet, MaskerAid and Peek-a-View.
There are several features in Callsheet that were either inspired by or requested by literally one person. Admittedly, they’re small features, but they’re features. Ask, and don’t be an asshole about it, and you’d be surprised what an indie dev is willing to do. hachyderm.io

Did you hear about the UK government report on ecosystem collapse? It was created not only by the environment department but also intelligence agencies like MI5 and MI6. Reporters were invited to see the unveiling of this report in October 2025 - but at the last minute the Prime Minister blocked it! Luckily the Greens forced the release of a 14-page redacted version.

Yesterday I worked for ~20hs with my agents using Cursor and Claude and when I moved to sleep time I turned on the "autonomous" skill to all my agents. Today, checking the work done, almost 40% was blocked because reasons and when I ask they say "Sorry, my work was left unfinished..." Weird... computation outage? Anthropic Related

Engineering leader on Google Chrome; writes about web performance and, lately, about working with AI coding tools.
Their words
But they're the person that's on the hook for understanding, for gating, for making sure that someone is deciding what ships, what's blocked, what do we defer. And so, I think that that is something that engineers are going to continue to be valuable for.

Developer and podcaster; created Instapaper and Overcast, co-founded Tumblr, and co-hosts the Accidental Tech Podcast.
What do you think of moving the add/dictate buttons down to the bottom like this for better reachability? Lots of people have requested it. My only hesitation is that the accent color looks pretty bold down there. But other designs — translucent bars behind, white buttons, etc. — all look significantly worse or more jumbled. In use on a real device, I think it looks less in-your-face than it does on a screenshot on a Mac. Related

Looking for some technical advice on an interesting AI-related problem. I've been running the MMM Forum website for 10 years with no problems. 45k registered users, 3M posts and 20M+ visitors over the years! But now, thousands of AI scraper bots are overrunning it around the clock. It makes sense, there is a LOT of wisdom in those posts from the users and it would make a juicy addition to any future digital brain. They don't obey the robots.txt instruction files and they randomize their IP addresses and spread out the load so they can't be blocked. This has overloaded even the relatively larg… Related

Nothing matches. Show everything
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.
