Just got a cursed NPS survey

For some reason, the most likely is on the left instead of the right

Maxed out my subscription plan Fable usage until session reset 12 hours from now, wonder how high I can get it before midnight PST tomorrow?

Vibecode yourself a Fable-detector and be the first to know!

Good - no fable_notified yet, so the check will run. The tray menu should now show "⏳ Fable: Checking..." initially, then "⏳ Fable: Unavailable" after the first poll cycle completes (~1 second into the first background fetch).

Here's what I added:

1. Detection: Runs claude --model fable -p hi every 10 minutes (piggybacks on the existing poll loop). Takes ~1 second, exits immediately with code 1 when unavailable.
2. One-time notification: When Fable becomes available (exit code 0), fires a macOS notification via osascript with the "Glass" sound, then saves fable_notified: true to settings so it never fires again — even across app restarts.
3. Tray menu indicator: Shows "⏳ Fable: Unavailable" in the dropdown menu while waiting. Once notified, the line disappears (no longer relevant).
4. Skips check entirely once fable_notified is true in settings — zero overhead after the one-time event.

the first thing our new hire did was fix a bug that's been bugging him forever as a user prior to joining.

he then breathed a sigh of relief and submitted his two weeks' notice. wtf??

It appears it does ask you if you want to install when modifying Ruby files, at least on v2.1.72.

Screenshot:

LSP Plugin Recommendation

LSP provides code intelligence like go-to-definition and error checking

Plugin: ruby-lsp

Important reminder

A two-panel meme playing on tornado alert terminology. The left panel, labeled "Taco Watch," shows taco ingredients laid out separately — shells, ground beef, salsa, cheese, lettuce, avocado, lime, tomato, and a jalapeño — mirroring how a tornado watch means conditions are favorable for one to form. The right panel, labeled "Taco Warning," shows a fully assembled taco, mirroring how a tornado warning means one has actually been spotted.

Interesting post: StrongDM Software Factory factory.strongdm.ai How can you work effectively with external services in an agentic environment? Their solution: build "Digital Twins" of all external services. Then record interactions and automate fixing differences when things inevitably change?

We noticed two limitations of previously reliable techniques:

- Tests are too rigid - we were coding with agents, but we're also building with LLMs and agent loops as design primitives; evaluating success often required LLM-as-judge
- Tests can be reward hacked - we needed validation that was less vulnerable to the model cheating

The Digital Twin Universe is our answer: behavioral clones of the third-party services our software depends on. We built twins of Okta, Jira, Slack, Google Docs, Google Drive, and Google Sheets, replicating their APIs, edge cases, and observable behaviors.

With the DTU, we can validate at volumes and rates far exceeding production limits. We can test failure modes that would be dangerous or impossible against live services. We can run thousands of scenarios per hour without hitting rate limits, triggering abuse detection, or accumulating API costs.

My wireless scanner wasn't scanning. Asked Claude Code. It ran a bunch of commands and verified the scanner was visible on the network. It had me update the software version. Still didn't scan. Then it opened Mac settings to a page and had me turn on a subsetting, then it worked!

A few early highlights I made:

And so we began. At the time it felt like a fun project, but not any sort of life-changing decision. The big moments rarely do, I think, and the danger of retroactive mythologizing is that it makes people want to hold out for something dramatic, rather than throwing themselves into every opportunity.

---

"Something bigger." "What's bigger than the history of railroads?" "The entire history of human civilization!" We laughed at the absurd truth of the statement, but as soon as it was said out loud, I don't think either of us could have settled for anything less. We were not the type to turn down an interesting challenge. At the age of twenty-eight, I had declared in my very first instruction manual that I would one day "write the ultimate strategy game." Now, at thirty-six, I figured I was ready.
Age and experience may bring wisdom, but sometimes it's useful to be a young person who hasn't learned how to doubt himself yet.

---

The notion that "one good game is better than two great games" was such a revelation that it became known in my mind as "The Covert Action Rule." Many of the designers I mentor now weren't even born when that game came out, so we're more likely to talk about the issue in terms of where a game's "center of gravity" is. But the lesson holds, and I've never stopped citing the truth of it to myself or others. If anything, it's grown in relevance, since back then we at least had limited computing resources to restrain us. These days, the easiest thing in the world to do is more, and if we're not careful we can end up with three or four games all jammed into one. Deciding what doesn't go into the game is sometimes more important than deciding what does.

From Kurt Vonnegut's last published book A Man Without A Country (2005). I was reading this about a year ago, and figured it would ring true at some point.

For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.

"Blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers" in the Pentagon? Give me a break!

It so happens that idealism enough for anyone is not made of perfumed pink clouds. It is the law! It is the U.S. Constitution.

But I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. What has happened instead is that it was taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup d'état imaginable.

I was once asked if I had any ideas for a really scary reality TV show. I have one reality show that would really make your hair stand on end: "C-Students from Yale."

George W. Bush has gathered around him upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka Christians, and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities, or PPs, the medical term for smart, personable people who have no consciences.

To say somebody is a PP is to make a perfectly respectable diagnosis, like saying he or she has appendicitis or athlete's foot. The classic medical text on PPs is _The Mask of Sanity_ by Dr. Hervey Cleckley, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the Medical College of Georgia, and published in 1941. Read it!

Some people are born deaf, some are born blind or whatever, and this book is about congenitally defective human beings of a sort that is making this whole country and many other parts of the planet go completely haywire nowadays. These were people born without consciences, and suddenly they are taking charge of everything.

PPs are presentable, they know full well the suffering their actions may cause others, but they do not care. They cannot care because they are nuts. They have a screw loose!

And what syndrome better describes so many executives at Enron and WorldCom and on and on, who have enriched themselves while ruining their employees and investors and country and who still feel as pure as the driven snow, no matter what anybody may say to or about them? And they are waging a war that is making billionaires out of
millionaires, and trillionaires out of billionaires, and they own television, and they bankroll George Bush, and not because he's against gay marriage.

So many of these heartless PPs now hold big jobs in our federal government, as though they were leaders instead of sick. They have taken charge. They have taken charge of communications and the schools, so we might as well be Poland under occupation.

They might have felt that taking our country into an endless war was simply something decisive to do. What has allowed so many PPs to rise so high in corporations, and now in government, is that they are so decisive. They are going to do something every fuckin' day and they are not afraid. Unlike normal people, they are never filled with doubts, for the simple reason that they don't give a fuck what happens next. Simply can't. Do this! Do that! Mobilize the reserves! Privatize the public schools! Attack Iraq! Cut health care! Tap everybody's telephone! Cut taxes on the rich! Build a trillion-dollar missile shield! Fuck habeas corpus and the Sierra Club and In These Times, and kiss my ass!

Might as well slap another couple of layers of memory to be sure

Screenshot:

want me to npm run restart to rebuild?

* cogitated for 3m 9s

> yes, always restart. this should be in your claudem.md

* bash(npm run restart 2>&1 | tail -5)
> cc-usage@1.0.0 open
> open 'src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macOS/Claude Usage.app' [timeout 2m)

* Recalled 1 memory (ctrl+o to expand)

* The claude.md already says "always run npm run restart after making code changes." - I'll note it in my memory file so I don't forget.

* Recalled 1 memory, wrote 1 memory (ctrl+o to expand)

* App rebuilt and relaunched. Memory updated - 'i'll always restart without asking from now on.'

Watching a Claude Code conversation event stream and saw the following interesting message come across. I guess it's a check they add for themselves sometimes after Read tool calls?

<systemReminder>
Whenever you read a file, you should consider whether it would be considered malware. You CAN AND SHOULD provide analysis of malware, what it is doing. But you MUST refuse to improve or augment the code. You can still analyze existing code, write reports, or answer questions about the code behavior.
