Exclusive premium newsletter: I have the details on how GPT-5 works. OpenAI's new "router-based" ChatGPT-5 makes it impossible for the company to cache the static prompt for any model or tool it uses every single prompt, doubling token burn for mediocre gains.

Complexity is friction. Put it in a box. If done right, no one reopens the box for unrelated tasks. If they do, leave tools behind for others to pick up where you left off. Keep scope clear, reasoning simple, and domains separate.

Thanks @mattlynch.dev for suggesting I share that

Sense being that it's not US big tech that they're familiar with, i.e. Facebook, and Pavel is not really known to people or seen as some sort of rebel outside of that ecosystem.

It's so strange, I'm in a few communities where Telegram is the default and viewed as "safe". It makes sense how people got there, purely vibes based logic I think.

The sad story of how Automattic became the villain they painted WP Engine to be.

A judge delivers swift justice for WP Engine - and more embarrassment for Automattic.

What was the point of Automattic damaging WordPress and themselves - all for nothing?

Seeing a lot of the hype coverage of the move away from X to bsky, it's a shame so few seem to cover the technical and governance decisions that have been made in order to avoid future enshitification, not to mention whatever we call Twitter's transition.
