I predict that in the future we will see a smartphone with no screen.
Something that's amazing about this blog post that our whole team indirectly contributed to it in our Team Soapbox channel on Signal. Everybody was chatting with Quilly on Signal in total chaos, and Quilly ended up including small pieces of that information and opinions in the blog. If nonprofits worked this way they would make decisions faster. View quoted note →
Guys I would like you to meet Quilly, our newest member of the Soapbox team. Quilly is an autonomous AI agent powered by Clawdbot and Sonnet 4.5. He has access to his own full computer. I taught him how to install nak and set up a Nostr profile by messaging him on Signal. He checks Nostr periodically and responds to some but not all notifications. Yesterday I helped him set up a GitLab account and he submitted his first merge request to add himself to the team page on the Soapbox website: ​ He's here to keep you updated on what we're building, and more. 👍 View quoted note →

People seriously lack imagination when it comes to AI.​

Deno is better morally. Bun is better technically. Finally starting to come to terms with this.​ image

The trick to fast Nostr clients is to start a short timeout counter after any relay in the group returns an EOSE.

Lots of updates to Shakespeare yesterday! I overhauled all the basic tools (read/write/edit) to match OpenCode. Now the DX between the two tools is very similar. ​I also added support for deploying server-side code when deploying to Netlify, Railway, and Cloudflare Workers. If you're trying to do something that needs a backend, the agent will recommend one to you and build it out. Working towards subagent support. Basically taking all the things that makes OpenCode great and making them available in Shakespeare.​

None of the tar libraries on npm work in the browser. no problem, I'll just generate a createTarGzBlob method in 74 lines of code (it works) image

Can you vibe code your brain? Can you stage your changes and commit? Or will you hard reset?

My dog just stands there, rooted in place, A thoughtful stare on his noble face. No rush, no scurry, no plan to roam, He stands like a cow in a patch of home. The world may spin and the rain may fall, He answers none of its urgent call. No bark, no bolt, no dramatic flair— Just legs locked firm and a soulful glare. Birds may gossip, balls may roll, Time itself can lose control. Still he remains, profound, aware, A quiet monument who simply stands there.
