Software engineer, commercial pilot, CFI. Thoughts are NOT my own; my employer has an alpha wave generator that injects opinions and tweets into my brain.

Partiful has a paid subscription model now? Don’t they know their product is just an AI prompt??

Announcing https://t.co/xbS2TQhGEr — add deep knowledge of airports, NOTAMs, weather, navaids, airspace, procedures, terrain, and more to your AI bot.

New majors for every one of my iOS apps are coming.

Oh goodie, Slack has a menu bar icon now. As a reminder, here is a short questionnaire you can use to determine if your startup is important enough to deserve a menu bar icon:

1. No

At work we’ve been having problems with people merging vibe-coded PRs without reviewing them. So we had Claude add a pre-merge quiz. You have to answer five questions about your PR correctly before it will let you merge.

Yo, people who develop for the Apple App Store! I have written a library and tool called XCUIPromoKit that helps your agents design and produce promo assets for your app store listing (search photos, header photos, and promo videos).

If you’re lamenting the eventual death of Maestral, the macOS Dropbox client, I’ve got a replacement for you: https://t.co/ZcerZStXLT

Zephyr is a Mac-assed Dropbox client with Finder integration and a slew of Mac-specific features. Available for download and on the App Store.

The future of software is hyper-personal. Whoever happens to pay for dinner, everyone will just use their individual vibe-coded Splitwise knockoff.

All of my iOS/macOS apps now have slick Claude-designed marketing sites:

If it hasn’t already been done, I am coining the term “trad-coding” to mean the opposite of vibe-coding.

In the future, all performance reviews will just be reading what Claude stores about you in user_memory.md.

[Tim Morgan 🙃🌯 @riscfuture]

Lol, Anthropic registered “claude.md” as a domain. Clever.

I’m sorry, but you’re just a regular prompt writer, and this company needs 10× prompt writers.

A company I know just got “approved” to use AI after a “security review.” Which is ridiculous — no security team would ever approve the use of AI. AI is a security nightmare. The only reason we all use it is because if we don’t, we’d be out-competed by everyone else who does.

[Tim Morgan 🙃🌯 @riscfuture]

These AI companies should probably stop calling it “Thinking Mode” or whatever, since in reality, it’s still an LLM, and no thinking is actually happening.

It’s so quaint, these old time travel shows where they say not to touch anything in the past because “the timeline might be affected,” like our current timeline is so precious. If I ever end up in the past, I am shooting every dinosaur and stomping on every rodent I can find.

[Tim Morgan 🙃🌯 @riscfuture]

How is it that the ENTIRE Claude Code system prompt fits into just 9.4k tokens, but your typical SaaS MCP (Sentry, GitHub, etc.) somehow uses 30k tokens??

Is it that Anthropic's engineers are just that good, or do MCP engineers not prioritize efficient prompt engineering?

[Tim Morgan 🙃🌯 @riscfuture]

I vibe-coded a menulet that helps you track your Claude Code token usage: https://t.co/z17ohkHFEo

Man, there is no better feeling than preflighting the plane for a sunset joyride, while your inbox fills up with emails of GitHub CI failures because Claude is rage-committing trying to fix your broken pipeline. That used to be me, my AI friend. That used to be me.

Due to the overproliferation of icons, people using screen readers may actually have a better browsing experience. They get “Remove attachments over 20MB” while we have to stare at an icon of a paperclip with an inset bomb and anvil, trying to figure out what that means.
