I've added schema support to my LLM Python library and a CLI tool: you can now provide a JSON schema - or a new concise schema DSL - and supported models will return data matching that format https://simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/28/llm-schemas/

JJ has such a better workflow than git. I realized I did something stupid, `jj undo` and the mistake was no longer a problem. I realized I put an unrelated change in my commit, `jj split directory/erroneous_file.py`, and two editor invocations later, my commit was neatly split into two. I […]

Claude's new coding tool is the best example of the time-versus-money tradeoff in action. "Do I spend 30 minutes of my time on this, or do I let Claude oneshot it in 5, and pay $0.75 for the privilege", is suddenly a very, very relevant question to ask.

The new Windows 11 for ARM update I just got is definitely a lot better at power management. I can have Elten running in the background without it turning my Mac into a space heater.

There's now one hard thing in computer science, cache invalidation and off-by-one errors. Renaming is no longer hard, you can just press f2 in VS Code and get really decent name suggestions. As a non-native English speaker, I find this incredibly helpful.

I wonder what I could do with a Rockbox device. It can run arbitrary C code, has a headphone port, a bunch of buttons and a lot of memory, it just begs for something cool to be done with it, I just can't think of anything in particular.

Some folks find it confusing that there's a survival game called Rust and a programming language called Rust, but there's an easy way to remember. If you get into Rust and there's a bunch of naked people running around killing each other with rocks, that's the programming language.

People of my generation, once they get into their 30s, will complain about "how kids these days have it so good, they can just blindly trust an LLM without having to check its output."

There's a special place in hell for web developers that autofocus the shoutbox field instead of the search field, on a website where search is one of the core features, the shoutbox being at best a nice-to-have.

There are so many apps re-inventing "append to clipboard" and "clipboard history". That, along with ftp/sftp/scp/WebDav support, as well as 7zip and rar compression and decompression, should be bog-standard OS features by now. Those features are not that hard to implement, certainly within […]

It's wild that the movie industry has decided that the only way to get straight people to watch musicals is to trick them into it. Launder it with a dramatic, song-free trailer, and make sure the word 'musical' is excluded from its marketing vocabulary

[politics] In this political climate, if you want people to do something, lobby Trump/Elon to ask them to do the opposite. Want people to believe that 2+2=5? The moment one of them says it's 4, it's going to happen.
