- “We asked 100 people: What are the top three companies on earth best positioned to make a world-class Mac-assed Mac app?” Buzz! “Apple!” Survey says: Yes! Apple at the number one spot. Makes sense. Who better to make the very definition of a great Mac app than the people who...

- Every post I publish represents at least two things I’ve learned: the thing that prompted me to write the post, and the thing I learned in the course of writing it. If I don’t learn anything new while I’m writing, it’s not interesting enough to publish.
- Blog About Moonbound This is a post from Robin Sloan’s lab blog & notebook. You can visit the blog’s homepage, or learn more about me. July 6, 2026 The design and vibe over at Worm Blossom feels very fresh and productive: this is neither the bland web of the 2020s, nor is it...
- July 6, 2026 I don’t generally feel compelled to enthuse about AI models, even when I like them, because there is so much enthusiasm out there already, and it feels like remarking, in 1977, “Wow, that movie Star Wars was really thrilling and technically impressive, wasn’t...

- The reason I write more Go than JavaScript nowadays is not because there is anything wrong with the language, but because I’m tired of the ecosystem. The language on its own is really good, it is the first programming language that I became productive with and I’m still...

- Last week, Thoughtworks ran a second Future of Software Development Retreat, this time in Europe. As with the previous event, I’ll be sharing some fragmentary thoughts on this. There were five parallel streams, so I could, at best, only attend ⅕ of sessions. This isn’t an event...
- The European Union AI Act is Europe’s attempt to comprehensively regulate AI usage. A big part of that is the requirement that AI-generated content be identifiable: either tagged with a watermark or with what the Act calls “digitally signed metadata”1. Since all this becomes...
