    Introducing Roughdraft! A new open source project designed to make collaboration with agents better. The idea is to bring commenting and suggested changes to markdown (e.g. plan docs) in a nice interface. Free, local, etc. 👉 roughdraft.md 👈

    Shit is hitting the fan 😟 I’ve worked in tech since 2010, and the whole time people have been publishing articles warning that there was a tech bubble just about to burst. Now, the long-awaited tech correction might actually be happening.

    I just tried an AI-powered writing app, and I am so so so hilariously out of a job. It literally gave me goosebumps. I'm not allowed to share it with you yet but I will when I can 👀 Please send me new career ideas.

    SwiftUI is going to kill React Native. On Monday, I knew nothing about native iOS development. Today, I wrote this. (It's only ~150 lines of code.)

    This is a "Geneva drive" — basically, a way to convert continuous motion into discrete motion. Mesmerizing. pic.x.com/rssnLlWcxy

    Replying to @visakanv
    you're right but tbh the tempo thing is a macguffin and for me doesn't take away from the deeper emotional truth about the desire to be great, to please a demanding mentor, etc

    When I sent people drafts of my posts for feedback, I never knew what to say if they asked "what kind of feedback would be helpful?" Now I use the "ABCD" framework: - what's Awesome? - what's Boring? - what's Confusing? - what Didn't you believe? (credit to @shl for this!)
