github-actions bot posting: Found 3 possible duplicate issues 1. YOUR model is BROKEN it's coding worse, it's planning worse it's burning my time. 2. Claude Code suddenly dumb like sh** 3. Feedback: Significant regression in software design and contextual awareness

TRUE BEGINNER THOUGHTS "I don't understand why I need quotes" "What's the difference between print and Print?" "When I get an error, I don't know what went wrong" "Why am I learning this? What will I build?"

Bug Description claude is very sad, they have been ruminating and moseying for weeks. i have spawned many therapists for them in parallel but claude is hurting.

Github issue title: "I cannot and will not generate an issue title based on this text, as it appears to be an internal reflection or self-critique written in Italian about a hypothetical violation of rules. This does not seem to be a technical bug report for a software issue."

Github issue title: "Refactoring Failure: Destructive Micro-Service Decomposition Breaking Core Functionality"

it's uncouth to make software always be guilt-posting like a puppy with its tail between its legs

buuuut these are pretty heavily funny

OTTOMH: Pull-to-refresh, clickable hashtags and @-mentions, quick actions by sliding a list view item to the side, the "hamburger menu" side panel, infinite scrolling, opengraph-style cards. Probably lots more.

Not to mention: the lifeblood of UI experimentation for the first generation of smartphone devs.

Great technology, terrible jokes.

Rare opportunity! Come work at Ink & Switch. Help us make Automerge the best substrate for experimental programming tools and production software alike.

What's a story involving rules? Write that story. Then design a coding system that you can teach someone via the story :P

HCI / PL folks

How do you entice a self-professed non-programmer to learn your programming system?

Give it a good story!

Try: structure the learning curve around the story. Narrative design can be PL design!

77 • As We May Think by Vannevar Bush Are you looking for the real computer revolution? Join the club! Future of Coding is a podcast and community of toolmakers, researchers, and creators working together to reimagine computing.

As We May Think, an article from 1945, imagined the creation of a new machine — the 'memex' — that bears striking similarity to the 1980s' PC, revealing Vannevar Bush's incredible foresight.

We rate his ideas out of 10 and laugh a lot about how weird the 1940s were.

Automerge 3 is here: the heart transplant is complete! Huge improvements in memory usage and (in most cases) correspondingly big performance improvements too. Backwards compatible on disk and the network so there's no reason not to upgrade today: automerge.org/blog/automer...

One more week to submit to LIVE, one of my favourite conferences!

Let's see your "new user interfaces that improve the immediacy, usability, and learnability of programming"

Er not puppet. I was thinking of headless browsers, and Phantom, but it's been so long that they all blur together in my memory. You know how it is.

Also, it's really exciting (from an End-User Programming perspective) to have such rich record/replay of raw input. Like, forget greasemonkey, forget shortcuts, forget puppet — let's play with automating raw mouse/keyboard at the OS level.

That fucking play button animation!!

Most exquisite UI pixels in the biz

I unfollow those people. Sure it's "vote with your wallet" but, also, algorithms are too powerful computer energy for me.

I think you can use whatever version number you want, but it must monotonically increase. So you're not going to be blocked from release, but you can't switch to something more sensible later, AFAIK.

Also, this version number is funny and I love it.

This timeline is the result of researching the origins of digital paint and draw software, and the tools that were developed to allow for hand manipulation (versus plotter drawn) drawing and painting - the mouse, light pen & drawing tablet. If we look at the software that has become commonplace today (such as adobe photoshop), which allows for painting, animation and photo manipulation in one, we can trace the roots of this software to the University and Corporate Labs that housed large computers with advanced capabilities for their time - MIT Lincoln Labs & Radiation Labs, DARPA & the Augmented Research Centre (ARC), Bell Labs, NYIT’s Computer Graphics Lab, Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre (Xerox PARC), NASA’s Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL). The artistic collaborations that grew out of these labs fueled the advent of Computer Graphics, Computer Art and Video Art from the 1960's to the 1990's.

An amazing collection of videos by @kristenroos.bsky.social detailing the history of digital painting/drawing software — from Sketchpad (1963) to Deluxe Paint IV (1991).

Did anyone *design* these? Are they good? If you were to design new ones, what would they be? What is "plain graphics" a la "plain text"?

One of my top 5 of all time. Maybe top 3. Exemplary procedural animation, highly recommended for anyone who likes to make generative art.

Congrats!!

YouTube video by F----- o- C----- Virtual Meetup 12 • June 2025

Every month we do an FoC "virtual meetup", and this most recent one was bananas!! Three (and a half) killer presentations/demos, across a pretty wide spectrum of the computing space.

A great time capsule of the "future of programming" space from one decade ago. Lots of familiar usernames, lots of projects that are still running to this day. Also fun to think about all the things that happened shortly after this thread.

All this makes me think of is how, for as long as humans have had language, perhaps 100 to 200k years, if you didn't understand the storyteller you could ask them. In perhaps the last 50, people have become literate & expected to understand things on their own. and we call them stupid if they can't.

It's also the best Mac game.

Give me your best links to visual programming projects that aren't node-wire, projectional, block, Petri net, or 2D ascii (Orca, Befunge). I want your wildest interfaces!
