Did I miss something in my writing?
What if your writing came with a built-in critic? Mine does. An AI finds the seams in my thinking and publishes them right next to the text.

A podcast that creates itself, in a different voice
My notes now become 5-minute podcast episodes overnight, written and voiced by a chain of AI agents. The episodes sometimes contradict my own thinking, which is exactly the point.

Claude knows FFmpeg, but it has no idea where the video is
Testing an AI video editor revealed that Claude writes flawless FFmpeg commands, but made assumptions around file system paths.

The manual is missing – we are writing it
The feeds make it easy to feel left behind when it comes to AI. But history proves the hype is usually louder than reality. Since there is no manual for this era, trying things and sharing even the mundane experiences could be useful. We are writing the manual.

The AI writes the code, but the team decides the direction
I have barely typed a single line of code at work for more than a year. Using LLMs and AI agent has changed a lot. But we still need the collaboration in a great team to make sure we go in the right direction.

One Developer, Two Dozen Agents, Zero Alignment
Because software is not made by one person in a vacuum. It’s a team sport. Everyone building it needs to agree on what they’re building and why. Believing individual productivity leads to great software is “nine women make a baby in one month” logic. More individual output doesn’t solve problems that require everyone to communicate and coordinate. It makes them worse.maggieappleton.com - 2026‑05‑22
Gas Town’s Agent Patterns, Design Bottlenecks, and Vibecoding at Scale
As the pace of software development speeds up, we’ll feel the pressure intensify in other parts of the pipeline: thoughtful design, critical thinking, user research, planning and coordination within teams, deciding what to build, and whether it’s been built well. The most valuable tools in this new world won’t be the ones that generate the most code fastest. They’ll be the ones that help us think more clearly, plan more carefully, and keep the quality bar high while everything accelerates around us.maggieappleton.com - 2026‑05‑21
RubyLLM
Every AI provider ships their own bloated client. Different APIs. Different response formats. Different conventions. It’s exhausting. RubyLLM gives you one beautiful API for all of them. Same interface whether you’re using GPT, Claude, or your local Ollama. Just three dependencies: Faraday, Zeitwerk, and Marcel. That’s it.rubyllm.com - 2026‑05‑21

Var är Martin Lorentzons pengar när vi alla behöver dem?
Det vi behöver är en plattform. En digital infrastruktur som kopplar ihop människor som vill göra skillnad med människor som behöver hjälp. 58.000 grupper. Tio miljoner svenskar. En app i fickan. Ett organiserat civilsamhälle.breakit.se - More of my collected links...
