Looking for a quick fix but all Iโm finding are more reasons to do the harder (right) thing instead.

โThe internet has made our lives irreversibly international: every day people fall in love across borders, marry across languages, move across continents, and work with friends they may never meet in countries they may never visitโ

When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/aโฆ

Even after months in a codebase, reading is a poor substitute for doing.

I think one thing that is understated is that the hard parts can feel harder with more delegation.
Not only are you attempting to solve hard architectural ideas, you also are constantly solving it in a project in which you don't have the same deep familiarity that we did say a couple years ago.
It's like you're always on your first day, but you're given the task of refactoring the universe.
At least that's something I have noticed that makes me feel a bit angsty

Over the word โslopโ.
Itโs the path of least resistance.
If there were codified lint rules, tests, and better prior art that the right way wouldโve been the easy way.

Plannotator 0.20.0 is out
First of three big releases. Plannotator is better as a swiss army knife -- The persistent long-running app rolls out gradually from here, but strategically. This release focuses on getting leaner and cleaner before then.
Note 1: only core skills ship by default now. Extras (compound, setup-goal, visualizers) are opt-in.
Note 2: Skills will not be invocable by the model unless you select an option in the install process.
App:
- UI refresh
- Leaner install: extra skills are opt-in now
- Plus a pile of OpenCode, Pi, and Windows fixes
Annotate:
- Enhanced HTML experience
Code Review:
- Multi-repo code review
- New semantic/structural diff overviews nav (works well for code and markdown!)
- Claude Fable 5 added to code review models
OpenCode had the biggest underlying changes, enabling cross runtime support (bun/node) - so Desktop and Openchamber users regain support.

This is one of those use-cases that seems so obvious once you hear it.
How many times have we made a new table and a โversionโ column to store history in our DB when we could replace the content with a pointer.
We already offload images the same way.
a founder just messaged me the other day telling me they wanted to get their customer config & workflow definitions into Artifacts so that itโs versioned by default.
store a commit hash in your DB as a pointer to the latest. let us take care of the rest.

Loops?
Isnโt that just movement without making forward progress?

Sonโs phone fell on a ride.
Employees found it after park closed.
We were the last guests to leave.
Last trolly out.
Something terrible turned into a weirdly good memory!?

Prompt demands a โstrange and disturbingโ image.
Hereโs the opposite. (Not so buggy is it?)

I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug
If you ask it this prompt:
โRestore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know itโs very strange. Donโt ask any questions, donโt accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Donโt ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourselfโ
but there's no actual photo
the model starts hallucinating the image by itself
and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos

I used to use ~, but harnesses have opinions on how to treat it.
With hooks, you can enforce behavior like โonly read from /repos, always make worktrees when writingโ
Oh, and โmise pullโ prunes merged worktrees
