Self-taught home cook and food writer who has run the Smitten Kitchen recipe site since 2006; author of four cookbooks.
This is the swirly, fudgy, luxurious intersection of a brownie and cheesecake and there’s nowhere else I’d like to be right now. Raise your hand if you remember when I made these for labor and delivery nurses for a sweet kid who turns 17 today! Related

1 July
Programmer; wrote Extreme Programming Explained and Test-Driven Development, signed the Agile Manifesto, and writes Tidy First?.
Their words
The agile manifesto is the intersection of the ideas of the people in the room. I think there's a lot more to software development than is contained in the manifesto. And I've written books and books and books about what I think those things are.

Author of The Lean Startup and Incorruptible, and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, who advises companies on corporate governance and mission protection.
Their words
The trust that they gained is the reason why they're a 70 billion dollar company today. But most leaders when asked to defend their principles can't do it because they've been taught ROI based thinking.

17 February
Founded PSPDFKit in 2011 and ran it for a decade. Came back from a break to work on AI agents — the OpenClaw project, and OpenAI, joined in February 2026. Writes at steipete.me.
I built an alternative to all the big players that can run fully local, where people own their data. I get hate. I picked OpenAI because they gave me better answers about encryption, responsibility and safety concerns for what I want to build next. I get hate. Quoting @mitsuhiko.at Reading some of the takes about Peter here and on X feels less like criticism and more like people shadowboxing their own hatred towards AI. Maybe good to remember that Peter is a real person and one that I know quite well. The criticism thrown his direction from some people is heavily misplaced. OpenAI Related

open source
Their words
You need reproducible builds in order to verify that the app really does what it claims, really encrypts data in a way that it is described on its website. For that you need to make your apps open source for any researchers to have a look at it.

Founder and editor of Techdirt; coined the Streisand effect, and writes on platform liability, speech law and copyright.

But, here, it’s hard not to see that as totally pretextual: an excuse to arrest Durov over other stuff they don’t like him doing.

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.
