It’s now 27 years since I was made redundant and given a few grand. I decided that if I was careful, I could live off the money for 6 months trying to become a comedian before I had to get another job. I was 37. Worth a punt.

I think it's fair to say that PlanetScale is known for having a high bar for hiring. What you probably don't know is that we don't do coding interviews.

If AI ends in the mother of all busts, it won't be because people were enthralled by short-form videos. It will be because people were enthralled by the "good stuff," the olympic-level math, etc. that convinced them there was a path to productive intelligence.

Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.5—the best coding model in the world. It's the strongest model for building complex agents. It's the best model at using computers. And it shows substantial gains on tests of reasoning and math.

I spent the summer of 2004 writing documentation for the first release of Rails. Twenty years later, I'm doing the same for Omarchy. Good docs seed good vibes right from the get go. manuals.omamix.org/2/the-omarchy-…

Half the timeline thinks AI is a bubble/statistical parlor trick and the other half thinks if you haven't secured generational wealth by next Thursday you'll be trapped in a permanent underclass ruled by techno-capital overlords who command drone armies. Probably a middle ground

FYI ... ChatGPT Plus (or Pro) users who log in to Codex CLI get _a lot_ of free GPT-5 tokens. They're not clear on what are the actual rate limits but with my $20 Plus sub I can go for a couple of hours at a time.

We launched a Claude Code learning mode! Claude Code not only makes you more productive, but can now also help you get better at coding. Whether you're a CS student or seasoned programmer, it will push you to think deeper about the code you're generating.
