🔗 The end of the content shortage
The ennui of infinite content is reversing our spiraling desire for more of it.

Here’s willing it to be so.
Headlines: ICE is starting to check ID’s in airport security lines. Be warned.
In his State of the Union address in January, Donald Trump identified a problem for America: “We’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it.” To give him his due, he seems to have found a solution.

Wet. Wet. Very very wet.
🔗 Daring Fireball: Claude Can Now Take Control of Your Mac
The Claude Mac client itself remains a lazy Electron clunker. If Claude Code is so good I don’t get why they don’t prove it by using it to make an even halfway decent native Mac app.
I like reading release notes from developers who take the time to document changes, and I also like reading “Bug fixes and performance improvements” over and over and over again from developers who do not.
😂
🔗 Too complicated for people to understand.
Our first job is to do work that matters for people who care. It helps to follow that up with the scaffolding needed to cause cultural change, so the idea spreads.
But don’t dumb it down to reach people who don’t want to be reached in the first place.
I was in the late 80s that I set up Fractal Communications in the UK. It never happened and instead headed west - and a whole new world started up for me. BUT - the idea of fractal communications stayed with me. My early years saw social handles like fractals - eg over on Twitter - when it was good. If I was a little late to the network and it was taken - fractallion. I have presented on what I mean by it and how it works countless times. But life continued to move and it was never turned into the business I envisaged.
Fast Forward to 2026 and I find myself constantly ideating how best to package and present this new service we are developing. I can see it. I can feel it - but as my manager (Jax) oft' says to me - use less words - get clearer … its as if she is sitting in on conversations that I have with others. (I suffer a sever case of Cobbler’s children.)
This afternoon I picked up a collection of hand off docs that I keep after Claude conversations .. dropped them in a new project to strat again and in amongst its first pass of the docs …
This is the architecture. It’s fractal, not sequential.
I had not ever referenced the idea of fractal to Claude in the past. But it’s not a wrong thought.
Sad that I would believe Iran before POTUS on this topic.
