Debugging an error coming from an AI agent: `Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)` As I step through the code, I see why. The LLM (llama3.2:1b) is refusing to provide a response, as it thinks it could be used maliciously. Guess the next step is to persuade this model that I'm 😇...

Finally took some time over past month to learn Wardley mapping. Still a technique I’ve rarely seen “in real life”, but glad that @mipsytipsy.bsky.social mentioned it a few times online in ~2018 and I’ve finally caught up 😂 lethain.com/learning-war...

🎉 So happy that Slack has followed @github.com with the UX of creating a hyperlink by selecting text and pasting iff the clipboard contents are a url. Genius UX. Everyone building an input accepting markdown or rich text, please do this!

This is how I dreamed of companies/team members engaging with members of public on feedback/deep dives on their app. People learning from each other all around. Chef’s kiss. Perfect.

Been on a rabbit hole lately of exploring justine.lol/cosmopolitan/ as an angle for a hermetic C/C++ compiler that works with MacOS as an alternative to zig. WebAssembly could be another angle to look into. 🤔 (Sorry for the jargon, 😅)
