According to Kara:

Then again - 🔗 judging by some of the comments in the thread (Link goes to Threads sans tracking crud) - I’m not sure they understand either. Kara probably does - but no clarity as to why I don’t understand it correctly.
@restlesslens two different European nations - not just ‘white folk’ - it’s like wondering why Africa isn’t on the list of countries in a drop down.
@patrickrhone blame the french - they are the ones that called arkansas - ar-kan-saw - and this isn’t just because I am English.
BUT NOT the ‘other side’ of the business - like New York Magazine, The Verge and - yeah not many I really track so …
… except that he is buying New York Magazine …
On the upside it is James - not Lachlan.
@devilgate Turns out that:
“The vehicle is a 2017 Nissan Armada SUV, unveiled at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show.”
@numericcitizen It’s a balance - and I say ‘go’ for it.
To the @herrherrmann point - I also agree - but i don’t think that is what you are doing - if you are a casual reader - as I am on a lot of things - and see an obvious typo in a post headline offering to give me advice - I am likely to move on - [inner thought - if the writer cant even spell why would I trust their advice on tips and tricks in using my mac]. To argue otherwise suggests that I need to know that the writer is not proficient in English … BEFORE I engage - not going to happen. (.. and of course there ar plenty of people with english as a first language that are not proficient in english - its a spectrum.)
Me? Don’t like what I do, say, write? Object to how I produce? Then don’t follow / read - I wil never please everyone - not even in a tight community.
It all comes down to what you are doing and why you are doing it.
And from your point of view - when you declare in your footer
> This website design was entirely built using Claude AI and Claude Code.
I think it makes total sense to do what you are doing.
@numericcitizen What I am learning over time that might help
- be accurate with spelling errors in your prompts.
- be very very complete with those prompts - first time around.
- maybe even bash that initial prompt around in other engines to get to the best.
- you don’t always need the best model - even for code (depending on ow good you are as a programmer).
- you know that verbose feedback it gives you when it is ‘habing a think’ - yeah - no - tell it to stop - it is using yout tokens to do that.
- skills docs are your friends.
- hand off docs are your friends.
- keep a memory going - and prompt to use it -so to top repating yourself.
There are more - these just off top of my head.
@lmika heh - they snoozed. Not you. You should have toasted them with alternative logo facing them as you walked past.
@bradenslen The ‘new’ in the final sentence is redundant.
@g Seperate but related question if I may. One of your archive links popped up on my site today - seriously - very very useful.
The bonus question is about this opening line.

It is highlighted in a similar - yet different way. I have noticed a few more of these around the site and wondering if they also are from your plugin - and if so what does it mean … because .. despite being marked in this way - the links are in fact active and working. I thought it MIGHT be because the link is http - not https - BUT - this one is https and works.
If not you - apologies for the interruption - and widening my question for my other reader. Do you have any ideas?
@kaa You might enjoy this - I need to revisit further - but I think this line of thought starts to unlock what is going on.
@numericcitizen not sure i find it efficient - and way too opinionated
@manton Sounds like what Hershey’s, cadburys, rowntrees .. and that’s just chocolate companies ,, did when they got started .. forever ago .. and do no longer .. history rhymes.
@bradenslen That’s a hell of an echo! Hope you don’t mind me experimenting on your blog❓
@bradenslen All of the above.
@lmika Definitely an old one. I worry about the credit - if he and Einstein said everything that people say they said - I am not sure how they ever did what they are really known for.
@bradbarrish honored to have your thinking flow into my processes - and not forgotten the Obsidian plugin - life just overtaking me for a while.
