Where do you recommend one starts with his writing?

And who else do you love to read?

yes except all of this stuff...fundementally sucks, right? its why influencers generally don't become actors. there's very little depth to it. Versus for example Hank and John Green who sure, they have good hooks, but they also have depth?

idk can't tell if this is me hoping or coping

I've been using Claude Code in my terminal like a feral animal for months. Building weird stuff. Breaking things. Figuring it out as I go.

Cowork is the nice version. The "here's a safe folder for Claude to play in" version. Which is great! Genuinely. More people should try this.

But!!! The terminal lets you do more. It always will. That's just how it works.

And when Cowork catches up, you'll want to go further. The gap doesn't close. It just moves.

All of this, though, is good? I think??

Isn't this like the "but rsync" comments on Dropbox launch? The vast majority of the addressable market doesn't know what a terminal is.

I've had a similar experience. My sense is that there's no way this isn't how eventually most of knowledge work at the computer is going to work. Not necessarily through a terminal interface, I expect UIs to evolve quite a bit in the next few years, but having an omnipotent agent in the loop to do all of the gluing and gruntwork for you. Seems inevitable.

what do you mainly use it for?

launch the browser (logged in as you) and do simple tasks

how are you doing this?

Check the post from Simon Willison: https://til.simonwillison.net/claude-code/playwright-mcp-cla...

You install the playwright mcp server and then it just launches chrome.

yeaaaaa go jacob go!!! (also hi!)

ha, hi to you too!

yeah i came here wondering about substack which does give you everyone's email addresses...

curious how ppl feel about substack in all this? its def not your kingdom but you do have everyone's email addresses

It feels like a middle ground to me. If you can export your list, and use your own domain, and have an easy way to get the content out, it might be worth whatever distribution they can provide.

Just generally I’d always have an eye on the exit and watch for signs of things going down hill. Anything VC-backed warrants more care. Think about how they could alter the deal and plan accordingly.
