I used Claude Code to vibe code a Mac app in 8 hours, but it was more work than magic

The illusion vanished fast once I treated Claude Code like a remote junior developer.

Over all my years in the software business, I've built software using two fundamental techniques. The first technique was writing code myself, line-by-line. I enjoy that practice, though it can be incredibly time-consuming. If you hit a flow state, you can really groove on the process.

A New Theory Says Gravity May Come From Entropy—Which Could Lead to a Unified Theory of Physics

Entropy. The word itself should cause insomnia. It means that matter and energy will degrade—ultimately leading to chaos in the universe—if things are left alone. So why is a new theory suggesting that gravity could possibly emerge from entropy?

Bitcoin options just overtook futures for the first time

Bitcoin options just overtook futures for the first time, and the new way institutions hedge is trapping retail leverage

Bitcoin options open interest hit $74.1B, topping futures at $65.22B. Here’s why the shift matters for volatility, hedging, and liquidity.

By mid-January, open interest in Bitcoin options rose to about $74.1 billion, edging past Bitcoin futures open interest of roughly $65.22 billion. Open interest is the stock of outstanding contracts that have not been closed or expired, so it measures position inventory, not trading activity. So, when options inventory exceeds futures, it often shows a market that's leaning less on raw directional leverage and more on structured exposure: hedges, yield overlays, and volatility positioning
