I guess the fact that I'm back means that y'all didn't hate this. If you do, tell Uri and Jehan!
Shameless self promotion
Matt Holden and I are doing a YouTube show about building with AI called --dangerously-skip-permissions. The first episode is “How did we get here?”. Matt and I have been having 1:1 conversations for more than a year now about what tools we’re using and how we’re using them… and now we’re having those conversations in public. I especially enjoy the way that Matt is able to connect what’s happening with LLMs today with previous eras of computing innovation. Give it a listen if that’s your thing!
Worth your time

On fact checking with AI. I really enjoyed this one. I have a draft blog post in my head called “Vibe Craft: How to do serious work with AI” but every time I try to write it, it falls flat. This is spiritually related to that.
Things I learned
Office building visits are up among people that live less than 5 miles from their office. As someone who made major life changes during the pandemic, I feel the pang of regret.
