Some yearly reflections on the business, @scholarlysoft, of what we accomplished this year.

Legendary scenes at Pier 62 🤯 Seattle’s FIFA World Cup watch party is at capacity again and the crowd just ERUPTED as USMNT scored #seattle (video credit @soundersfc)

We received 2 of the highest compliments on our product today: - “It worked on plane WiFi” - “I didn’t need to read the instructions to use it.” The team at @scholarlysoft is cooking

I’m at the bottom of a multi-layer SPV and am looking forward to the SpaceX IPO in much the same way a golden retriever looks forward to a car ride: - thrilled to be involved - no clue how cars work - unsure if going to the park or getting neutered

Siri AI looks promising. The conversation paradigm is something that works best in Apple's position. Click a button, start a new thread. Apple as the harness where each app is its own little MCP server is the way to go. Figuring out how to select the right MCP tool calls of 10's or 100's of apps locally? Fun challenge.

The new Linear Agent has been a game-changer for our company. The ability to ask questions about the code for non-coders is huge for us. I’ve always poo-poo’d documentation. It’s out of date, takes time to write. @KentBeck once called it a “speculative investment of your current time” hoping that effort would pay off in the future. Instead, non-engineers can ask questions “how does the code actually work?” and get an answer from the context of the code but also commit messages and tickets. That last bit usually fills in the “what were we thinking?” The answers help team members self-serve discovery of the product where the answers are always up to date. Bravo, Linear team!

I was prepping for grilling burgers and had to pause Master and Commander to explain index ETFs to my son. I have achieved peak dad.

No one could have known that telling programmers "spend as much money as possible on this new agent technology; whoever spends the most money wins!" would result in companies spending too much money on this new technology.

I see that "types and tests do the same thing" has once again reared its head, so here's Ideology again: destroyallsoftware.com/talks…

Not usually how I make intros, but since they’re two design giants meeting on camera for the first time, you should watch this terrific convo. @wjosephflynn 🤝 @brian_lovin

Sat down to take a look at where we're at with our Ruby/JS mix, and our decision to ditch React 3 years ago. Here's the post: kellysutton.com/2026/05/21/m…

The aggressive buildout of data centers, coupled with the high-throughput fiber links we'll need to connect them, create hope that mobile users could see the first 1 GB web page as soon as 2029.
