I write at https://t.co/daVR9R7Knk

I write about my learning process, creativity, and how I try to pursue multiple interests successfully. Each month I also send a roundup of the best podcast eps and reading from my month. This is a thread of every post from 2026.

yeppp that was me, I clicked 'always allow' roughly 177 times as a critical assistant in Claude's latest Erdős solution

An octopus thinks at eight thirty seven; chess moves like waves from the depths of heaven

my clock from @genmon, which can write poetry, just wrote that. logging for posterity.

I'd like a small frame on my office wall with downtown Austin live streaming all day pls

Watch the storms build as they approach Austin⛈️

a vibe shift for vibe coding

[K.Bourdieu @infohazard_lol]

Anthropic has seriously shattered my AI psychosis, so now I feel extremely anxious about the sudden lack of perceived hyperproductivity. I don't trust any of my agents, Claude or otherwise, will get a single thing even partially correct. Even for vibe code fun the magic is gone

A forest has sprung up from what was once a frequently flooded wasteland in the middle of Austin.

On 13 acres along lower Waller Creek, workers with Waterloo Greenway have studiously planted some 1,600 trees and around 200,000 other native or adaptive species.

This new-old forest gathers in an area called the Confluence, a $91 million project named for the meeting of the creek and Lady Bird Lake.

I’ve survived two rounds of cliches. Phew.

[Caitlin Cloud @CaitlinCloud9]

time for round 2 of types of people in austin:

overly obsessed ut fan - hasn’t missed a home game since college, thinks burnt orange is a “beautiful color”, and got into a real argument with their spouse over naming their son archie

tarrytown milf - westlake dermatology on speed dial, private pilates at 10, and knows about your divorce before you do

run club guy - broke up with his girlfriend to “focus on himself” and now gets weekly dates after his 3 mile loop

steiner ranch swinger - the upside-down pineapple isn’t a symbol, it’s the family crest

14 y/os on $4,000 e-bikes - proof that money can’t buy supervision. making life miserable for austin drivers one wheelie at a time

elon’s disciples - first in line for the cybertruck, has read the spacex s-1 at least 10 times, and tweets daily at him hoping for “just one like”

health influencer - first words when they meet you are “peptides?” and spent 30 minutes crying after discovering the restaurant cooked with seed oils

sixth street bum - takes a daily crap on the sidewalks of downtown austin, have been arrested 28 times and district attorney garza knows them by first name

@benspringwater @matter love it!

[Polymathematics @onlyfootnotes]

prototypes are a great thing to build an essay around. a well-written essay is a kind of prototype itself, so the fit feels right

vibe coding with MF DOOM and a full cup of coffee, the future is bright

Ray Bradbury's timeless advice on rebuilding your attention span

[Visa is doing marketing consults (see pinned!) @visakanv]

here is some vague abstract advice, may it be weirdly relevant to whatever specific thing you're stuck on

Last mirror selfie of my 20s ❤️

[Polymathematics @onlyfootnotes]

I just did 3 weeks of D and it ruled. All of these would be awesome, but next up I want to explore B or E.

[spor @sporadica]

if you’re not choosing E you have a certified mental illness

[🎭 @deepfates]

I fear not the man who vibe coded 50 new apps, but the man who vibe coded one new app 50 times

[Polymathematics @onlyfootnotes]

a team of curious, driven, builders is more important than anything else. focusing on a narrow set of experiences or skills when hiring is rarely the right approach (although for targeted mercenary type work, probably needed)

[Polymathematics @onlyfootnotes]

@rupertmanfredi @genmon mine arrives any moment 🕰️

[Polymathematics @onlyfootnotes]

delightful that as people attempt to write in a way that distinguishes them from LLM writing, they are finding a side door to write better in general. sounding more like themselves, avoiding cliches, etc.
