Being a Quaker?

I think I'm a Quaker? It's the best way I can describe my relationship to my faith. I say I 'think' I'm a Quaker because I'm not a member of any meeting. I've worshipped (sporadically) for the last few years in an online meeting organised by Woodbrooke, but even that isn't a 'real' meeting. Technically, it is a worship sharing group.

The Claude Code Leak

What the accidental Claude Code source code leak tells us about the real value of code, product market fit, and why integration is what actually makes software great.

AI isn’t people

"Treating people as things can begin in many ways, but I think one of them is the idea that things can be people. The motivated muddling of categories so prevalent in writing and thinking about AI, beginning with the very name 'artificial intelligence', is intentional and serves the narrative that this software can and will...

The Claude Code Moment

The sudden adoption of Claude Code by non-technical people represents an important moment in time — and one that will have a lasting impact on the way we work.

Where Do the Children Play?

"In physical space, Western children are almost comically sheltered. But in digital space, they’re entirely beyond our command; and increasingly, that’s where children spend most of their time."

The Optical Illusion of Prosperity

"We have created a system where the only way to survive is to be destitute enough to qualify for aid, or rich enough to ignore the cost. Everyone in the middle is being cannibalized."

Waarom We Politiek Niet Alleen Aan Politici Kunnen Overlaten

Het wantrouwen in de politiek neemt toe, terwijl politiek een onderwerp blijft waarover veel mensen niet willen praten. Toen ik Waarom We Politiek Niet Alleen Aan Politici Kunnen Overlaten bij de boekenwinkel heb gezien, dacht ik: "oh, dat klinkt interessant".

When we get komooted

"Digital enclosure is the continuation of the physical enclosure of land. This sophisticated form of digital extraction is so common that it’s almost unremarkable. But there’s a wrenching contradiction here between Komoot’s stated mission of 'enabling access' to public land while privatizing and exclusively profiting from those very movements. They take our most meaningful encounters...

Family zoning actually means something cool

Forget San Francisco - I wish every single US city would do this. We're too car-dependent, too isolated, too unhealthy. (Honestly, European mixed-use development should be the model.)

How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness

[Oliver Milman in The Guardian] Car culture isn't just physically bad for us, it affects us mentally too: "The car is firmly entrenched as the default, and often only, mode of transport for the vast majority of Americans, with more than nine in 10 households having at least one vehicle and 87% of people using their cars daily. Last year, a record 290m vehicles were operated on US streets and highways. However, this extreme car dependence is affecting Americans’ quality of life, with a new stu

Welcome to the Vibellion

It’s wild to type this out as both a record and a commentary at the same time. I am recording for posterity a chaotic situation that is in rapid flux. There’s a lot of background information that needs to be known and understood as this post exists in the middle of “something.” How will this post stand the test of time, especially online time as digital records disappear? If you read this in the present or the future, and have no idea what I am going on about, I apologize. I hope all the related records stand the test of time.

The War on Poverty Is Over. Rich People Won.

[Annie Lowrey at The Atlantic] This older interview with Matthew Desmond is doing the rounds again, and I discovered it for the first time. If you haven't read his books Evicted, and Poverty, by America, you owe it to yourself to do that. They're revealing, important works that shed light on the lived experience of many, many Americans. On why American poverty is different, Desmond says: "It’s different because it’s so unnecessary. We have so many resources. Our tolerance for poverty is very
