  Close your eyes and think of a cyberpunk poster of a city skyline. Focus your attention on the sunset – usually, it’s represented by a circle split in two… with the upper half being a solid yellow or orange, and the lower half being a set of lines, looking like the sunset’s ripples on an ocean or sea. Just google Cyberpunk Sunset and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. Now, imagine that as an actual lamp and you get the Bauhaus Sunset Lamp from Simig Lighting – a minimally gorgeous lamp that abstracts the sun into something familiar digitally.

Vibecoding a high performance system

Vibecoding a high performance system

 There’s been a thousand posts about vibe coding. Some case studies from Indragie Karunaratne, Edward Yang, and Cloudflare stuck out to me. These are all projects where it’s something the creator is already an expert in, or a read-only app where bugs are low-impact, or a well-known standard with a small design space. I recently used agentic coding to build a system to crawl a billion web pages in around 24 hours. Here’s what’s different: - The core concept is simple, but at scale, the design space is large. - There are parts where bugs could be really bad, like politeness. - The goal was to achieve a new level of an objective metric (throughput). - I wrote <4% of the code by hand. This post is all about how it helped and how it fell short. I’ll attach code snippets and links to some chatlogs. > Spoiler: it was a huge boost overall. I’ll argue that the learnings apply when building similiar high-performance systems, with some caveats.

Interfaces That Augment or Replace

Interfaces That Augment or Replace?

Exploring the difference between complementary and competitive cognitive interfaces and their impact on human cognition.

 There's a scene in a movie that captures the concept of Tools for Thought perfectly. The film Searching (2018) ¹ unfolds entirely from the perspective of computer screens. After a frustrating call to the police about his missing 16-year-old daughter, the father decides to investigate on his own. To organize his thoughts, he opens an Excel spreadsheet and begins laying out everything that's in his head. As the investigation progresses, we watch him continuously update the spreadsheet with each new piece of information. Poster of the movie Searching¹ Blockbuster movie that does a good job in digital archaeology The more familiar we are with a tool, the more fluent we become in using it to think. Whether that's writing, sketching, drawing, or... spreadsheets. Thinking doesn't happen only in our heads: it depends on the interfaces we choose to engage with the world. As McLuhan famously quoted: > _"We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us"._ — John M. Culkin
