You know how there are fortunes in fortune cookies, and uplifting sayings on the back of sugar packets? I'm going to start a business that puts rude comments on salt packets. Gonna call them insalts.

I cracked a password-protected PDF in 0.3 seconds today. The password was a national ID number, because some business decided that counts as security. It doesn't. It's absolutely fucking security theatre. Stop tolerating businesses doing this.

This is why I'm so irritated, and why ID numbers are so shit as a password: iansharland.com/writing/your…

Your ID number is not a secure password

I cracked a document password in half a second. It was a national ID number. If your business protects sensitive files this way, so can anyone else — here's the maths, and the two choices you...

Sometimes, the solution to getting a stubborn pin out of somewhere isn't a hammer. Sometimes it's an M18 Fuel drill.

You know that dent in your pinky caused by holding your phone? Apparently it's called 'smartphone pinky'. Huh. They could have called it scrolliosus.

I've been building with 5.6 Sol for a couple of weeks. It's not 5.5. Slower (so so much slower), more literal, happy to grind in long loops, and it'll overbuild even when you hand it a good spec. Some suggestions, if you're also struggling:

GPT 5.6 Sol Is Slower and More Expensive
