sign in with @jam is buttery smooth Cast UX is interesting. A bit fragile in that I keep tapping it away but it saves state and looks good. Should expand the window when the cast length switches to nonstandard!

Baby has arrived. His name is Adam and he and mom are healthy and happy. So far the overall gestalt with baby #2 is that of rewatching an old favorite movie. You get reminded of many wonderful beats and moments, and notice nuances you didn’t see on the last viewing. https://i.imgur.com/tshJAkk.jpg

Insane decision from Twitter, especially in the particulars (linktree??) Farcaster still allowed though :) https://twitter.com/twittersupport/status/1604531265419591681?s=46&t=VJ4dKqIUkbon-hBADN_DnA

4000 character limit on Twitter seems bad to me. Genuinely surprised he went for op ed length instead of 420 chars.

Been having ChatGPT write big chunks of PHP/HTML/CSS for me. It usually works perfectly and saves me time even when it doesn’t.

When I try (probably ineptly) to explain to people what's exciting to me about web 3, crypto doesn't really come up at all. It's more about the promise of deep infrastructure that is actually interoperable, getting off of the app-site-account stack and onto something more content centric.

About once a week the full emotional reality of “we are going to have a new human soon” hits me. Usually lasts about 5 minutes.
