A while ago, I gave up on having a "Work Colt" and a "Colt." That's because God put me on earth to be just me.

Sometimes, that means working on Business-as-Code; sometimes it's being a brother and husband; and other times, it means writing this:

The whole world says "Read Amp is lower with leveled compaction."

But, after challenging some assumptions:

@AlexRWendland You don’t think at some point we will reach “smart enough” models?

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

The "explain with grok" button on tweets stopped summarizing replies. TBH, that was the only reason I used it.

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

I just failed a captcha.. I think we have AGI.

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

The GPT 5.6 models are still fantastic... TBH I miss the Luna/Terra/Sol tiers.

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

I don't have any philosophical reasons for using POP!_OS over Omarchy other than that POP!_OS "just works," is lean enough, pretty secure, and doesn't intentionally have agents running around with full 'sudo' permissions

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

Business-as-Code is more than technology. It is a way to turn duct-taped business operations into something robust, automated, and optimized.

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

This misses an important point: I don’t like to install stuff. Generally I prefer accessing functionality through a browser rather than an app.

One of the most interesting insights from DHH’s keynote:

The pivot from web to native.

Why? Because native is higher fidelity and higher performance.

Web “won” because of convenience - we could write once for all platforms.

But now AI makes it practical for a small team to target multiple platforms with optimized, native experiences.

So will tailored, native experiences for all platforms become the new normal?

The cost of accidentally typing "kubectl get pods" into the wrong terminal window: 2 cents

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

Wow, since when did GePpeTto 6-sol have the concept of time management?

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

@richardartoul @turbopuffer That's totally normal...I tell people on X that I haven't even met yet that they should ride LittleHorse. Have you checked out our GitHub? https://t.co/SZIeFIThYZ

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

DHH is right about many things, wrong about some things.

One thing he is ABSOLUTELY right about: Rust is a horrible, no good, very bad, awful language to look at.

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

I am so tempted to try Omarchy, but it would mean basically starting a brand new computer from scratch. And I don't want to go through the migration process.

Maybe next time I buy a new laptop I'll do that. For now, GNOME + Pop!_OS is great

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

I was a skilled programmer; unfortunately, that skill doesn't mean anything now.

Thinking in systems, product sense, and business matters. That's how Business-as-Code keeps engineers relevant.

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

@renuraman I'm still a kid...I can dream!

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

I'm only 20% joking when I say that I hope LittleHorse gets big enough to buy Sun back. Maybe we would resurrect Solaris...

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

Oh man, I wish Sun were still around

[Colt McNealy @coltmcnealy]

And if it turns out AI is actuallly dangerous (not convinced yet), maybe we'd build a worldwide defensive system.
