ah, not as iterative as it might have been, given more time

I have many thoughts about using generative images, a large one being "we need to be way, way more thoughtful about their training and use". But there's also the lens of "they're the next step in a long evolution of tooling for creating expression", which feels important to explore

love your writing, Robin. I totally agree that it's not a great or fully fleshed out example, just playing around with the medium with very my little free time.

this I can agree with!
This time I was struck by a combination of no time (baby, new job, ++😅) and I honestly was just enjoying the little felt people. I think it's especially sloppy for the full-width images, just a side effect of my eternal effort to keep my inner perfectionist in check

hm, I understand your sentiment but I'm not sure I agree. Happy to discuss if you're looking for a discussion!

thanks for the feedback! I feel the same if there’s nothing linking to the scroll. I’d be curious how you feel when it’s published

alt text: a few images in a blog post about how interfaces have changed over the years. A few eras are illustrated with little felt people using big knit computers

imo the more the better! I write to start a conversation, and definitely could be called out to make the posts more polished!

thank you, this is all very kind!
"It gives each piece this feeling that the topic mattered to the author"
I really love the way you framed that. Half of the reason is that I prefer writing code to words, but you're totally right here as well. And I love your Turing Machines post!

I use both, depending on the context! imo, Svelte is a wonderful starting point - feels closer to the native web and has the right amount of magic. React is great because the ecosystem is massive and it's easy to find npm deps for common components, etc.
