We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.

AI augments a developer's skillset, it doesn't make everyone a developer.

Why horizontal tabs? Vertical is navigation. Organizational. Hierarchical. A tree. It's "history". You don't need it on screen all the time. Horizontal is the working set. The threads that are live. Always visible. Give it icons, colors, status. Context at a glance. In apps like ChatGPT, Claude Code or T3 Code, horizontal space is expensive. Tabs at the top let you tuck away the sidebar and leave more room for the right panel: preview, browser, code view. And you still see what's running, what's done, what needs your input.

Have to say, ChatGPT is a beautiful app. @edbayes and team amazing job again ✔️ sidebar is goated. ✔️ we are moving closer to the slack layout. told ya. ✔️ I saw a bookmark action. thank you wishlist → horizontal tabs. trust me. → chatgpt/codex to be replaced → chatgpt = new chat, codex = new task → bookmarks icon in sidebar what else

"Super Intelligence"? Couldn't he at least stick to the naming convention and go with "American Intelligence" so we can keep the acronym?

AI is showing us that a lot of what we thought were software problems, are actually people problems.

This is an effect of an ever increasing wealth gap. We need to prioritize the economic development of a strong middle class.

If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail. Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon. The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.

Far too much of the labor force feels entitled to not work despite not saving.
