Shout-out to Google for the amazingly quick app approval times. Minutes. I assume it’s mostly automated… Which it should be for apps that have been shipping updates for years without malware or gimmicks.

Added a new book calendar page to my blog, to visualize when I finished reading books over the last couple of years. Planning to make this available as an option to anyone on Micro.blog. First I need to blog more about what is going on behind the scenes for this feature.

ChatGPT’s update for Work and Codex puts the design in a precarious position. There is so much going on. If it was me, I would take a step back and think about how to keep a simple chat interface that scales well to Codex without immediately feeling overwhelming.

In addition to launching GPT-5.6, they’ve combined the ChatGPT and Codex Mac apps. I guess that was bound to happen. It still needs a little more work to feel right for normal, non-coding chats.

Even with AI being able to clone almost any app, Micro.blog is fairly safe because no single person actually knows everything the platform can do. 🤪

There are really two very different ways of coding with AI. One is to quickly iterate with small changes. The other is letting an agent go off and work on a hard problem or high-level goal, where it churns for minutes or hours. For the first, model speed is almost everything.

Figured out how to publish the AT Proto schema for blog.micro.content. Neat. The schema is just a PDS record, with a DNS entry to resolve the name.

Added a page to document some of how Micro.blog works with Bluesky, including Standard.site compatibility. I’ll add more to this as I think of implementation details that are useful to know.
