Slow Horses has a little piano motif that plays throughout it, a few lingering keys that tie scenes together. 🎹 It's stuck in my head now as wrap up season 6. Good show.

A nice perk from getting into agentic workflows: they're handy for parts of the job I like, but can turn into chores. Like tutorial animations. I enjoy making them, less so remaking them each time the design changes, which it often does right up to ship. redlamp.github.io/crosspost/…

I'm used to keying animations like this by hand in a timeline or code, which is fine until something moves. Now the tour renders straight from the product, so when designs change I just rerender. It's not high art, just mechanical work, which these tools turn out to be good at.

I used to paste the same post everywhere, then fix it for each platform. Now I draft it once in Crosspost, and it fits each platform's limits, cleverly splitting long posts into threads, or giving me direct control. redlamp.github.io/crosspost/ #crosspost

It runs in my browser with no account needed. It opens each platform with the post ready to go.

One post, every destination. I made a little tool for drafting a post once and sending it everywhere. It checks each site’s limits and splits threads, then opens each one with your text filled in. Nothing to sign up for. It all runs in your browser. redlamp.github.io/crosspost/

Just finished Douglas Coupland's "Microserfs" (1995) and am blown away by how a 31 year old book remains so prescient about tech and culture. It moves between funny, observant, and profound in delightful measure. I'd love to talk to others who have read the book.

1995 was the year a friend recommended "Snow Crash", which became my personality for the next 20 years… and now I'm wondering if I would have followed a different route if they had pointed me to "Microserfs" instead? It may have been too early for me, but incredibly fitting now.

It's my birthday today, and I'd love a small gift: watch this video about a tool I made. Color Taylor 🎨🧵 shows how computers describe color, a niche topic I enjoy. If you know a designer, artist, or developer who works with color, please share. youtu.be/PmSKo6-NtsY

Been quietly building a couple of creative/UX tools. Anyone interested in taking a look and giving some feedback? I'd like to tune them before making larger announcements. Reply or DM and I'll send you a link. #UX #buildinpublic
