A wild Lucas appeared
Both will find the loophole if you leave one. Clean your room gets you one sock moved from the floor to the chair. Technically, the room got cleaned. Nothing you said was false. But you meant something specific, and you did not say it, so you got the letter of the instruction and none of [ ]
I have been an Arc user since it launch and I always loved it. The vertical sidebar, the Spaces, the split view — it just clicked for how I work. But since the team pivoted to Dia and got acquired by Atlassian, Arc has been in maintenance mode. No new features, just the occasional security [ ]
Four weeks ago I pushed the first commit of FlavorPress with another Automattician and a one-sentence pitch: your reading turns into your writing. Today, with RSM behind me and 223 commits on the board, I want to write down what actually happened. Not a launch post. A real account of the decisions, the pivots, and [ ]
TL;DR Automattic is running an internal experiment called Radical Speed Month. For one month, two-person teams get full autonomy to build and ship projects without the usual approval processes. I m paired with Matthias Reinholz, and we re using the time to run an experiment we re calling Flavor. What is Radical Speed Month? For one Month, Automattic [ ]
I have a problem with rabbit holes. I can start investigating a small feature request at 9am and by lunch I have drafted a product brief for an entirely different initiative. I know this about myself. I wrote it into my own operating instructions so that my tools can push back on me. AI makes [ ]
People sometimes ask me how I get anything done with so many things going on at once. Right now I have eight work projects in various stages, a blog, a scout camp planner I built on a weekend, and a Minecraft mob farm I am theorizing about with my kids. From the outside it looks [ ]
I have ADHD. I have known for a while. But it took me years to stop fighting it and start working with it. The standard workday assumes your energy is the green line. A steady climb from morning to evening. You show up, you produce, you go home. Eight hours, roughly equal output throughout. That [ ]
What am I missign. I had been stuck on a scoping doc for an hour, rewriting the same paragraph and pretending it was getting better. I pasted the whole mess into Claude with those four words and nothing else. The answer was not impressive. Five bullets. Three were obvious. Two I had not thought about. [ ]
Everyone assumes AI meeting tools replace note-taking. I record every call with Quill as my notetaker. It captures who said what, generates summaries, tags topics automatically. My meetings are fully indexed and searchable. And I take more handwritten notes than before I had any of this. Here is the thing people get wrong about AI [ ]
As an active scout leader, I know the struggle: You re planning a summer camp for 80 participants, you have 15 different tents (traditional German Kohten , yurts, large group tents), and somehow you need to figure out how it all fits on the meadow. We used to do this with paper, pencil, and a lot of [ ]
