It’s time once again to read things that are not me, even though isn’t why you’re here? Let’s try not to think too much about that.
- I wrote once about Thomas Ptacek’s article where he uses LLM for development. Here is a nice counterpoint to it. Via. Related, clean.
- Give me all of the conversion maturity models that you have, please.
- As I’m sure all of you remember, in 1998 I wrote a brief piece on my blog about how the VC-funded advertising model for free content online was structurally untenable and would eventually come to be replaced by direct payment. Here is someone saying the same thing in 2025, and – no offense to the children, who remain our future – I’m sure they wrote it better than any 16-year-old possibly could.
- Civilization hasn’t collapsed quite yet, but when it does, it will be unsurprising to those who have been paying attention. For everybody else, there is numbness, bypass, and deferral.
- I wrote some text on Hobonichi Techo, Yeti, and some of the principles behind our repositioning. It can get even more meta than this!
- Dating as a head. Relatable.
- And lastly, how to make stirfry.
