Being where work happens helps you understand the complexity
Digital models and screens can only capture so much of the physical world. Following a parcel from the sorting terminal to a delivery locker is a powerful reminder that to improve the digital experience you must get a better understanding of the real work.

Use reserved phone numbers for examples
The phone number you invented could be real. But you can use reserved example numbers so you don’t risk bothering whoever it belongs to.

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.

Fable 5.2 and Jagged AGI
This would have taken months of human work, but I spent less than an hour of my time to get it to this stage. However, that leaves out a substantial part of the work of research: no human has fully checked the results, including me. AI can now produce research faster than anyone can read it, creating a crisis in a lot of academia.oneusefulthing.org - 2026‑11‑11
Changing pickup location for someone else's parcel at Instabox
In December 2020, parcel IDs were a two-character sender prefix plus a counter, and the page for changing a pickup location treated the ID as the only credential. Anyone willing to count could move someone else’s parcel, and an unauthenticated API returned the recipient’s street address for the same ID. The critical parts were fixed in under a week; rate limiting and CORS were still open when the thread ended.erikeng.se - 2026‑11‑11
Hemnet Scrapes Listings, Cuts a Third of Staff, and Changes CEOs

The `OTP-Token` Email Header Field
A typical email-based OTP message could contain a header like the following, specifying an OTP code of 123456, and binding that code to the origin https://example.com: OTP-Token: "123456"; origin="https://example.com"mikewest.github.io - More of my collected links...
