A real robot cleaned our kitchen today, and it passed our steep staircase test too.
thanks for the shine @taurobots!
Crossed SF from SE to NW today on the Crosstown Trail: ~17 miles, 41k steps. Hunters Point → McLaren → Glen Canyon → Golden Gate Park → Presidio → Baker Beach → Lands End. Highly recommended. Highly exhausting.
Best Opus 5.5 win so far. "review every comment in the app and shorten or cut it to match agents.md."
One thing I have always wanted in a large SaaS company: the ability to sift through and summarize thousands of customer Slack channels in a way that lets me be viscerally close to the customer journey, pain points, and churn/expansion.
After a few tries, I managed to get it working with @claudeai Artifacts, and it is glorious! 🚀
A month ago, I ran a small experiment.
Early on in @markpinc's new book, I spotted an innocuous link describing Mark’s "new earth" concept.
Curious if anyone was actually checking these links, I checked if zazie.colevalley.earth was available.
It was.
I bought it, set up a pretty tribute page (w/ Fable), and waited.
30 days later... total visitors: 2. 😅
I have been a WalkingPad self-evangelist for a while now, but their mobile app experience has always been subpar.
With Opus 5 out, I gave myself the weekend to control my treadmill from my laptop instead.
Instead of a full weekend, Opus did most of the heavy lifting in 1.5 hours - with me as the long pole.
The result - an open-source web app that talks to physical hardware with nothing to install.
Give it a try if you have a WalkingPad:
Being at the intersection of engineering leadership and a team full of coffee nerds meant a significant number of our offsites included a session on flat white vs. cappuccino.
Luckily, AI is finally smart enough to help me put the debate in the past - flatwhitevscappuccino.com
I have always wanted to have my own assistant to the regional manager. With the help of a one-shot Fable over the weekend, I have created a fun app that shows my Claude agents as Dunder Mifflin employees

Alignment tax is the bane of enterprise existence. But AI is bringing a glimmer of hope.
I talked to a VP today who was trying to desperately prove another team is stepping into his project realm.
My advice to him:
AI doesn’t care about your colleagues’ title or narrative (or yours, for that matter). with the right MCPs and accesses, it will plow through the evidence and give you a objective consensus answer without you or hefty consultants wasting time.
Asking “is anyone else building this project?” yields a definitive artifact. Your peers might still fight for their empire, but they can no longer deny the data.
Every once in a while, while reading a physical book, I have the urge to highlight using the same familiar UX as on my Kindle.
"The things we regret aren’t the TV shows we missed or the extra day at the beach we skipped. We regret the book we never wrote, the instrument we never learned, the health issue we never addressed. We miss not taking the time to fix our teeth or our messed-up knee or running a marathon."
