The Big Thing…
The Big Thing… One of my ADHD quirks is that if there’s a Big Thing to do that day (doctor’s appointment, package delivery, big presentation) then 100% of my brain goes to that important event. I can’t miss it. Nothing else gets done until The Big Thing gets done. Conversely, after The Big Thing gets done, nothing else gets done either because my brain –flooded with dopamine– feels an enormous sense of accomplishment for remembering to do The Big Thing. I did The Big Thing. The Big Thing is done. Mission accomplished. Completing that big task should free up new brain RAM allocation for the next task… but it doesn’t work that way. I spent so much energy keeping the horses in the barn, my brain won’t even consider letting them out again until much later in the evening. Hands numb from sitting on them try to grab a new task from the shelf, but can’t. If anyone deals with this and knows how to either a) make The Big Thing less blocking or b) perform a tactial reset after The Big Thing, I’d love to know.

Trust in the world of AI
We use these services as if they are our agents, working on our behalf. In fact, they are double agents, also secretly working for their corporate owners. We trust them, but they are not trustworthy. They’re not friends; they’re services.

LLM’s place in the development toolchain
This is a long-winded way of saying that this entire transformation went through code. It’s a pipeline that starts with human input, produces code, does an LLM as a judge step and iterates. And you can take this transformation and apply it to a general task as well.

The web’s kaleidoscopic tomorrows
My proposition is to imagine new futures (plural) for the web. The plural is essential. The more perspectives and stories and ideas, the more ideas that are out there that may inspire discussions between — preceding the creation of new communities and visions and technologies by — makers, writers, artists, technologists, journalists, and users. Indeed, if I have learned anything about making things, it’s that inspiration comes from many, many places, not just one.
With every new thing we make – and with every new communication strategy we try, recognising that there is (not yet) one universally resonant argument for why an indie web is necessary – we can both add to and help people realise the potential of the web.
