The UI you're showing now looks more like a bag of controls thrown on a page by a backend engineer in 2006 and less like a B2C product in 2026. Various boxes all over the place, weird colors, misalignment, inconsistent spacing, confusing what does what, a random calculator(?) in the middle of the screen, unclear abbreviated labels. It needs so much work that a full rethink might be in order.

But you're right to have an existential crisis if you're in the creative industry, we all have that capable someone else on our phones now for $20/month.

The massive plastic bezel shouting PROTECTION, G-SHOCK, G-LIDE, random text on the display like SOLAR POWERED, HEART RATE, START-STOP, SHOCK RESIST, WATER RESIST 20BAR, TIDE GRAPH, besides the permanent function labels, all strike me as childish at best, not something an adult would wear unironically.

It might make sense to run a small LLM locally for general conversation or very specific tasks, but they're not a serious option for agentic coding.

Already many years ago I remember installing a firewall on my phone and noticing in surprise that Outlook was not connecting at all to my private mail server, but instead only sending my credentials to their cloud and downloading messages from there.

The only Android mail client not making random calls to cloud servers was (back then) K-9 Mail.

To employ a regular (non-management) employee in Spain (and it applies anywhere else in Europe), an Estonian company would to at least have a local address, then register and maintain regular contact with several authorities there (chamber of commerce, social administration, tax office). The bureaucratic overhead makes it practically impossible to have employees across several countries (definitely as a small company), the only practical option is to pay an employer of record ~600 EUR/month extra (significant salary difference) only for the joy of maintaining the employment paperwork.

The really fun part happens if a managing director moves. Then the company is considered to have a permanent establishment in Spain, needs now to maintain ALL administration like a Spanish company, and to comply with Spanish corporate law, in parallel to what it was already doing at home. Both countries' laws apply, both expect taxes, and it is not even clear cut how much of the company activity and profits should be taxed by the company's home country and how much by the director's country! And having multiple managing directors in several countries is probably an exercise in frustration.

Then, if the director has enough and moves somewhere else, it all starts again in the new country (and you also have the headache, costs, and risks of closing the Spanish entity).

The EU may have free travel, but you can basically forget actually freely moving around as a small business owner, the company administration is prohibitively complicated.

I think what you are thinking about is a standard API for ticket systems, that would allow you to transparently swap them. Unlike authentication, nobody has bothered to standardize something like that because ticket systems are more varied, not as often integrated into other platforms, and even more rarely replaced.

You Cmd-Tab, release Tab but keep holding Cmd, and type the name or shortcut of the window. No preconfiguration necessary, it becomes automatic to just tell it what you want.

"Building" websites? Indeed eroded by social media, many businesses are happy with only a Facebook/Instagram presence.

"Building" software? Yes and no: it's all still on the web but the increasing number of developers, and now AI, are making it easier to fill niches. There aren't many low hanging fruit left, you won't get rich quick with a todo app.

You almost had the right idea there: the value of what this emits is really in the summary of diffs. I'm certainly not going to go through each commit and read the diff each time I look at the log, but I still want to understand what happened and be able to find individual commits. If extra information about the author's thoughts is just not available, I'd much rather have summaries than a blank log of "WIP" comments.

It's absurd to gatekeep commit messages to only "the thoughts of the author", even if that's what usually goes in there. A good diff summary might even be more useful than a ramble that doesn't mention important changes.

With Marimo, the way to achieve the same result is to have it (automatically) export the notebook to a _separate_ static HTML file: https://docs.marimo.io/guides/exporting/#export-from-a-runni...

It's sad Marimo got sucked up into this, I fully expect it will not receive the love and support it deserves, especially now that it was shaping up to be an amazing tool. I can only hope it will fail quickly and painfully, so as to spawn an open source fork that will outlast the AI bubble.

Would love to be wrong.

It might have been convenient for Jupyter notebooks, but that was a side effect of what's essentially a negative feature, the last output of every cell being thoroughly mixed with the source code.

The computer doesn't even change addresses, there is no need for mDNS or anything fancy, setting up devices manually once would be just fine.
