The 9th video in my Creating a Lisp with Swift Series is out. This time we tackle the let special form youtube.com/watch?v=i7RFTQ… #lisp #swift #claude #clojure

The increasingly user hostile web. Some web pages are bigger than Windows 95 (45MB) and that just the start of the problems. thatshubham.com/blog/news-audit

Episode 7 is out where I implement relational operators: >, >=, <, <=, =, not= youtube.com/watch?v=zkba1T… #lisp #clojure #swift #ClaudeCode

Episode 6 is out as well in my Swish series. This one adds the ability to run programs youtube.com/watch?v=0AsNa1… #lisp #clojure #ClaudeCode #swift

Episode 5 of my series on creating a Lisp in Swift with Claude Code is out: youtube.com/watch?v=DB0LeM… #ClaudeCode

Episode 4 is out. youtu.be/KRFBAvNGIWM #swift #claude #clojure #lisp

The 3rd video in my series on creating a Lisp in Swift with Claude Code is out: youtube.com/watch?v=c969kM… #lisp #swift #ClaudeCode #clojure

For millennia, jocks ran everything. The nerds finally take over. And what do they do? Develop AI that wipes out their own coding/math/analysis moats. Creating a social premium on interpersonal skills. The irony.

The 2nd video in my Creating as Lisp with Claude Code is out: youtube.com/watch?v=x8Uv65…

First video in a series showing development of a Lisp for Swift using Claude Code: youtube.com/watch?v=iOvvPq… #swift #lisp #ClaudeCode #clojure

It's only going to get worse from here. More & more dictatorship behavior from each succeeding administration, regardless of party, until we really do have a dictator. Just like Ancient Rome. Hail Caesar. daringfireball.net/linked/2026/01…

@MatManferdini Thanks for the mention

Are architectural patterns really that different from each other? In my new article, I argue that they are not, the same way buildings rest on common principles. I take apart the VIPER pattern and show the parallels that emerge with MVVM when you consider the role of each layer rather than its name. Link in the replies.

@MatManfredini gave me a nice mention on my article about TCA: rodschmidt.com/posts/composab…. His article: matteomanferdini.com/mvvm-vs-viper/, is a good writeup and the similarities of MVVM and Viper, which I found surprising.

I made the Clojure Deref: clojure.org/news/2025/12/3…

All this AI coding stuff makes me wonder if we might be better off creating problem specific DSLs (Domain Specific Languages) that then generate consistent reliable code rather than relying on non-determinstic probability based text generation that happens to generate code.

Very powerful post on AI by Rich Hickey, the create of Clojure: gist.github.com/richhickey/ea9…
