Software Bonkers
March 16, 2026
I’m software bonkers: I can’t stop thinking about software. And I can’t stop building software.
My first Claude Code project was to rebuild Twitter as I always thought it should be:
Surprise! It’s really lovely. And members from my membership program have used it this past year to form a community the likes of Ye Internet of Yore. We share nice, inspiring things, and are nice and inspiring to one another.
We recently posted a piece from Answers.ai asking where is all the AI developed software if software developers are now many times more productive.
They analyzed the Python ecosystem and found at best three weak signals for a developer productivity increase.
Perhaps they weren’t looking in the right place. In my experience, this story from Craig Mod captures where this new software is. It’s not necessarily on GitHub Actions or NPM or PyPI–It’s running on local hosts. It’s running on private cloud instances. In my case, there are a dozen or more applications that I’ve built to run the internal systems for our conference, to explore ideas with IoT and more.
