One unexpected, seemingly unrelated thing I've learned with all of this agentic coding stuff: TERMINAL apps can be CRAZY powerful. Panes and mouse support and resizing and animations and the rest. HOLY COW!
FWIW: Jake has been adding some little bits to https://t.co/LO9MN3rEby

Everyone knows that Google Docs has a "markdown mode" that makes it easy to copy markdown into a Google Doc formatted AND copy Google Doc content AS MARKDOWN! (Right?)
Fun fact for the $10 billion lawsuit crowd.
The IRS leak that exposed Donald Trumpโs tax returns happened between August 2019 and November 2020.
405,427 other taxpayer returns were also leaked.
Trump was president. His own pick, Charles Rettig, ran the IRS. The contractor who did it, Charles Littlejohn, worked on a Trump-era IRS contract and is now serving five years in federal prison.
On January 29, 2026, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over a breach that happened on his watch, under his commissioner, by a contractor his administration paid.
He is suing the federal government he ran, for failing to stop a leak that occurred while he was running it.
The taxpayer foots the bill either way.

If you're using Flutter, and at Google I/O, I'd love to talk! I'll be there again all day tomorrow, and in the audience for both Flutter talks. Come say hi! ๐
@plainionist Curiosity. Wanting to learn. Wanting to understand. Moving faster without losing side of the fundamentals. Without losing sight of the humanity of folks who have to review pull requests and maintain the code after you're gone.
