Iโm impressed at the number of friends that have stopped using cursor because of the SpaceX acquisition.

Accessibility question: I rely on text-to-speech, but the Claude CLI's formatted output breaks my native TTS, and turning on plain-text mode strips all the visual structure. Anyone built a dyslexia-friendly wrapper that keeps the formatting on screen but pipes clean text to TTS?

Happy birthday to one of the best places on the internet! Y'all are awesome. Can't wait to see what the next 15 look like.
Today is our 15th birthday.
For 15 years, weโve built and maintained Are.na independently with no institutional investors, sustained only by our members.
We (quite literally) would not be celebrating our 15 years if it werenโt for you.
Thank you โค๏ธโค๏ธ

I was job hunting recently, and one thing kept surprising me how many teams still build interactive prototypes in Figma. It became an early flag to watch out for in identifying teams that wouldn't be a good fit.

AI tools really need to double down on system design. I know the pace of change is fast, but damn, the rate at which features move or are removed is wild.

I'm finding that I wish conversation threads in LLM tools worked more like tabs in arc, and just auto deleted after say 3 days.

Mirroring code-switching -- side-by-side reading was thinking more of each pair of book pages being connected. I was able to get into a good flow, but maybe the English should only be visible on highlight.

Interlinear code-switching -- more fully translation-focused, seeing both languages at the same time. When trying it, I find I need to focus more on not defaulting to the English, which feels like cheating.
57
Progressive code-switching -- translation progressed in complexity based on word frequency and book length. This still feels like the most appealing learning curve when trying it.

I'm finding that "design mode" is being overused and underdelivering. Many of the tools with some design mode remove agency through the abstraction of the tool into a prompt. We still need buttons and sliders sometimes.

Stick with things even when theyโre uncomfortable; steady patience turns โthis kinda sucksโ into real progress with habits, skills, or long-term projects.

Been thinking a lot about interfaces that promote learning in new ways what if you started reading a book in one language and finished it in another?

Starting to play with github.com/collaborator-ai/cโฆ its one the nicer solutions I have found for tracking agents across multiple projects at once.
