👋🏽 Hi! This is Jeremy's Craft by Zen

The Mom Test, making 50 things, 100 Days of Note-Taking, Crowdfunding a new country, WP Engine debacle, Duocon, Hyperkey, and surviving the misinformation age.

Light because of house hunting. Churn, o1 news, Founder Mode reviewed, so long ad support, designing for your appropriate user size, and surviving misinformation.

o1, Cursor, Townie, Software bookshelf, Senja, Postgres with Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, unexpected endorsements, heightened security, and Mystery celebrity number six. RIP James Earl Jones.

Seasonal Playlists, Margin, Latticework, how to say hello, AlphaProteo, and highlighting Amy Allen.

!!Con 2024 recap, DIY Zines, the two-shot, Following Crypto's issues, How Townie was built, Listeria outbreak in Boar's Head, and RFK Jr. being someone's drug dealer. Also, a bunch of book recommendations.

Newsletter - We dive into my decade long habit of creating seasonal music playlists and lament on how music streaming services have made it harder to find and create original mixtapes.

The Mike Lynch mystery, follow-ups from Burn Book, FLUX.1, doing the hard work instead of trusting AI, effective changelogs, and asteroid mining seeing the light of day.

Bye bye, Chromecast, creating a personal Data Pipeline, heed the warnings of joining AI research, the new AI image generation king - Flux, a map of all bookstores, quitting spotify and starting self-hosting, and RIP Gena Rowlands.

Enshittification is when your product degrades over time because the company has spent more time squeezing out of the competition and curbing regulation. The product is gradually becoming less self-service and the employees no longer care about the product better.

Current reading notes on Burn Book and Frostbite. Gallery of concept visualizations, transforming national park maps, how others use AI, doing quests, not goals, Intel’s Immiseration, going back on the high wire, and the first fitbit.

Playing with htmx and migrating to the latest version of Ideaverse Pro. Using SQLite in CSV mode, bento slides, quantization visualized, and AI Friend domain sale. Using Little Sis, a photo of Gabriel Medina, Olympics long-term injuries, and welcoming Breaking.

Newsletter - We talk about the fires and the heat. I share some website updates with the home page. Then we go over Hushpuppies and consulting. Finally, I give a recap of what I'm currently reading - Frostbite.

A news break this week. Some old tidbits like the ten commandments of egoless programming, solitude and leadership. Some new things about knowledge management at NASA, visual programming, engaging over showing. Alexa is losing billions, and how large scale order emerges from complex systems.
