I mainly listen to albums, or LPs as they used to be called. Not playlists. I love albums! Loads of amazing albums get released each year, so why does Spotify make it so hard to discover them? To find new albums in Spotify I have to go to Seach > Music > New Releases, scroll down to "Hand-picked new releases" and...

It's silly how much I love using the Pagecord web interface for writing. There's room for improvement I'm sure, but it's almost perfect for my needs right now.

I've been riffing on a new Pagecord theme today as part of an improvement I'm making to the 'Cards' layout. I think it's pretty cool. What do you think?

I enjoyed this new documentary about AI. It’s a good primer for people who don’t really know too much about it. I can imagine those who are more well-versed being a bit more critical, but there’s only so much you can cover in 100 minutes. Also, it’s still all rather new and we have no idea where this story goes...

I got to interview Scott Chacon on stage at Turing Fest yesterday, talking about "Why GitHub Won". What a privilege, and what a super-cool guy Scott is. Total legend.

Programming frameworks come and go. They usually get slowly mothballed as developers move on to something new, shiny, simpler, faster, or more interesting. It’s not often they just… end.
