made a width-responsive pretty-printer with Prettier's "Doc" system. not sure I've seen this done before? it's nice!
also I made "type" keys show up as sexpr-style heads, and "id" keys show up as a little hashtags. adapting notation to your own practices for ergonomics and concision is dope!

I really like this sentence Claude’s “Soul Document.” I think there’s a tendency in some circles to over-apply human concepts to AIs, partially as an overcorrection to the (also misguided) denial of any humanlike traits. The correct approach at this point in time is agnosticism.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

A few years ago I had a project that involved extracting the art assets from a copy of MS Bob, and you may be either delighted or horrified to know that the entire thing is a series of Access database files with bitmaps embedded directly in the DB
