This morning, I spoke with Premier @ABDanielleSmith about the results of yesterday’s vote.

Over the past 18 months, our governments have worked together to deliver on what matters most to Albertans. Now, we have an opportunity to build on that progress.

Albertans have chosen Canada, and we’re moving forward together with renewed purpose and high ambition — to build a stronger future for all.

Some rumors I've heard. I'll start with Google, then Anthropic and OpenAI.

Google: Insiders say Google has either cracked RSI (recursive self-improvement) or is very close. Their pace has picked up fast in recent months. They went from GPT-5 level to Opus 5.5 level in months, and speculation is that RSI made that possible.

Anthropic: About a week ago, Anthropic started a new pretraining run. It is not Fable 5.5 but what would become Fable 6, or something bigger, to catch up to OpenAI's Bel.

OpenAI: Bel (it may have another codename) is the model behind the math results OpenAI published a few days ago, and RSI apparently helped there too.

From what I'm hearing, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are all very close to cracking RSI or already have. It will get scary and exciting at the same time.

It’s feeling really magical inside of Shopify right now. It’s clearly the greatest time in the history of tech industry right now. I hope it feels similar everywhere else.

People seem shocked that the author of Clean Code doesn't read code anymore. But that should not be surprising.

Why did I write Clean Code? What is the goal of keeping code clean? To get it out of the way of the real job -- thinking.

I was paying almost $300/year for a YouTube research tool that shall go unnamed.

The product was getting too complicated so I decided to check if Claude can build the core feature set that I actually needed.

Claude built it in 5 min. 🥹

Been running a beta version of Campfire rewritten in Rust today! The code itself is still ugly as sin, and 6x as verbose, but the conversion was free*, and I never had to look at the Rust directly, so this is awesome 🤩 github.com/basecamp/once-…

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family.

It’s a clear upgrade over Sonnet 5, runs more than 30% faster, and costs up to 30% less for most work.

THIS!
The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder

We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking their full potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge

It's time to re-write all ugly software. May the most beautiful software survive.

Can our TPUs survive and operate in space? Well, we're going to find out.

Project Suncatcher is hitching a ride aboard @SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission, testing a prototype satellite built in partnership with @planet

One small step for TPUs....
