It’s not tech or AI, it’s unregulated capitalism.

Socialism has been the answer since I was born in the 90s and the V shaped economy took hold.

We have enough resources for everyone to have food, shelter, education, and healthcare without the need to extract value from their labor.

All of these problems are self inflicted wounds. The solution is for humanity to stop stabbing itself and care for itself instead.

The solution is to let go of greed and embrace our humanity.

braebo — Sun, 03 May 2026 21:30:01 +0000

I’ve always found the evolutionary biology lens very compelling for ADHD — consider hunters and gatherers. Hunters benefit greatly from the ability to quickly and sharply shift attention in an instant. They thrive at night and can hyper-focus on the thrill of the hunt. As civilization progressed, society was optimized for the majority (gatherers), and the hunters are marked as “disordered” for systemic incompatibilities.

No type system is as strong as TypeScript — certainly not Kotlin.

Packing people into tiny spaces like sardines should be illegal.

You can easily persist agent memories in a markdown file though.

Which open model has the same performance as Opus 4.7?

Claude Code Desktop is as close as I can see them getting as it seems the big bet is that the IDE is on its way out as models improve.

That’s the lsp not runtime. Bun runs Typescript very fast. It’s a fantastic language and ecosystem.

Svelte for eliminating countless categories of complexity introduced by React.

New comment by braebo in "JSON formatter Chrome plugin now closed and injecting adware"

braebo — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:45:42 +0000

We could use llms to scan source code and list all of the behavior not listed in the extensions page, like adware and geolocation tracking for example. Then another LLM locally to disable it and warn you with a message explaining the situation.

Same but it’s certainly too slow.

Avoiding this with Opus has been trivial in my experience.

The cost per message increases with context while quality decreases so it’s still generally good to practice strategic context engineering. Even with cross-repo changes on enterprise systems, it’s uncommon to need more than 100k (unless I’m using playwright mcp for testing).

New comment by braebo in "Why are we still using Markdown?"

braebo — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 05:22:43 +0000

Because it supports HTML as an escape hatch.
