Notes
With the help of Claude code, I’ve been able to make blogging extremely frictionless for me now.
Within 20 minutes I had this feature coded and deployed.
Wild.
We had a breakthrough in AI with transformers.
Where’s our breakthrough in AI with alignment?
Started reading "The Scaling Era: An Oral History of AI, 2015 - 2025" by Dwarkesh Patel with Gavein Leech.\ \ Dense with citations and definitions. Taking my time here. 😮💨
From 6/5/17 in one of my notebooks I wrote down this quote from Andreesen Horowitz - AI Playbook:
AI is the new relational database, about to get into every important piece of software we write.
This seems to have mostly come true in 2025.
Magical Thinking is the belief that your thoughts alone is enough to affect the world. Success requires both appropriate action and realistic assessment of what's actually possible.
Just do it or you can just do things.
Critical thinking with concrete action. Always.
I've shipped the "notes" feature to my blog. When I'm logged in it shows a Twitter-like compose box, that creates short notes like these. So I can share thoughts on MY site, and not someone else's site.
Revamping the blog at https://kbr.sh
Pushing beta django version of blog to Render
brainstorming for my webgame entry to vibejam
Fixing to do a Simon Willison style blog. Updating infra in AWS to get it ready.
Split out search and ask commands, and now have a nice web UI that lets me click through to notes in search results.
Created a proof-of-concept Python app that uses Ollama, smollm2 to ask questions of my Bear notes - https://github.com/program247365/notes-analyzer
Monitor desktop app, see the memory is pretty low ✨
Basic version of the observatory app running on macOS!
Added desktop app to turbo monorepo so all my code marketing site, docs, app are in the same repo. And run desktop app via turbo
Adding a mockup of the app to the marketing page.
First version of marketing site with waiting list is up for https://www.tryobservatory.com/
Started Tauri app, and marketing site for observatory
Started exploring new project - desktop app to monitor GitHub actions.
Updated readme on repo about keyboard shortcuts.
Change loading to all endpoints initially, then cache data. Document new keyboard shortcuts.
Add T, A, S, and J keyboard shortcuts for easier menu access.
With the help of Claude, and Cursor, shipped a Hacker News CLI. Was a lot of fun! Got the initial version running in 20 minutes with some prompts from Claude.
