Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, youβre forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.

i honestly think wave would have worked if they used native scrollbars instead of weird drag-to-accelerate scrollbar-like-thingies written in js

The mistake everyone in my industry is making with AI is that they're using it for work. No! Use it to make visual woodworking layout calculators for your picture frame project.

LLMs ruined Chesterton's Fence
before agents:
q: 'why is this random fence with no obvious purpose here?'
a: 'someone had problem, this was solution'
after agents:
q: 'why is this random fence with no obvious purpose here?'
a: 'agent put it here randomly for no purpose'

Great example: βvon Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3 year old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us.β

I've shifted most of my time r/w code to r/w systems diagrams.
We need the equivalent of a "modern programming language" for diagrams. What we currently have feels like Fortran.
System diagrams are one of the most important foundations for the agentic software engineering.
Yet the current generation of tooling (e.g. Mermaid) feel incredibly antiquated (e.g. getting the layout right in a declarative way is close to impossible).
Are there some new tools?
