We are building a new local-first version of FacileThings, a personal productivity web & mobile application based on the Getting Things Done methodology (GTD).

It will be a super-fast, reactive, and responsive application that allows you to work offline.

Bluesky is just as good as old Twitter was at it's peak.

This image from my blog post earlier this week really seems to be unexpectedly resonating.

With Claude Code, our total project time is way down, but how engineers spend their time is very different. More architecture, more QA, less coding. www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...

Just tried @jazz.tools and seems to be the right tech for a side project I've had on hold for some time 😎

Just spoke with Pedro Sánchez to convey my deepest condolences to the victims’ families and loved ones.

Europe stands with Spain in this tragic moment, sharing your grief.

@ec.europa.eu flags will fly at half-mast.

Your mind will keep dwelling on anything that remains undecided.

And that's the source of a good part of your stress.

As hyped as Claude Code + Obsidian is, I have no desire to upload my personal unencrypted vault data to Anthropic or anyone else.

I hope that the ideas of private inference and confidential computing that Moxie described take off. It's how all LLMs should work.

I wish there was a way to change Kindle's recommendations, something like "don't recommend books like that one."

I see a lot of people trying to get AI to do everything for them. It's a big mistake to stop being in control of your own life. AI can be a great assistant, but don't delegate everything. You should still be the one making the decisions in your life.

Most builders tweet what they’re doing.

Better builders tweet:
– why it worked
– why it failed
– what they’d do differently

That’s the part people save ⭐️

the main job has always been defining the task
Claude Opus can do pretty much any well-defined task. The job is now defining the task.
a few years ago everyone thought the new job would be prompt engineer, that only a special few would know the secret whispers to get good results

and now I just say 'do the thing' and it goes off and nails it perfectly

Instead of increasing your New Year's resolutions, clarify and define your essential goal for 2026, and avoid any activity not aligned with it.

systems vs. hacks
9 shortcuts

The simple rule: Nine shortcuts take longer and are less productive than simply doing the work the right way the first time. When we look for one-quick-tip and the lazy hack, we're wasting time we could have spent on the direct path instead. When a shortcut becomes the best way to do…

It's simply the direct path.

It had been a while since I'd programmed using the concept of a finite state machine. In GTD, the process of clarifying the tasks you've captured follows a deterministic questioning algorithm that ends in six possibilities, so I decided to use an FSM.
