I'm building a space on @SpacefastHQ, and Claude made it in one shot with Three.js and some stuff I don't fully understand. My only ask: let me drag the 3D model.
Recorded with my Capture Director app. I didn't record a thing; my agent did.
Start making stuff on Spacefast!

The best way to keep Dolly Parton alive:
Take your responsibilities as a citizen of the world more seriously.
Take yourself less seriously.

My speed month project: what if WordPress was an OS you interact with in an open canvas... The canvas holds the objects (posts, pages, media, etc) organized to your needs and taste.

"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer."
Simon Willison (@simonw) is one of the most prolific independent software engineers and most trusted voices on how AI is changing the craft of building software. He co-created Django, coined the term "prompt injection," and popularized the terms "agentic engineering" and "AI slop."
In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:
🔸 Why November 2025 was an inflection point
🔸 The "dark factory" pattern
🔸 Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are the most at risk right now
🔸 Three agentic engineering patterns he uses daily: red/green TDD, thin templates, hoarding
🔸 Why he writes 95% of his code from his phone while walking the dog
🔸 Why he thinks we're headed for an AI Challenger disaster
🔸 How a pelican riding a bicycle became the unofficial benchmark for AI model quality

The US military was one of the first institutions to integrate in the U.S. It desegregated base schools even in the recalcitrant South and refused to let white soldiers rent from landlords that violated the FHA. What you call "woke" is realizing racism is a nation defense issue.
