All day today, I'm answering reader questions using a li'l custom web interface I built for it (oooh, animated gradient!) People are calling it “a rare peak behind the curtain" and “you spelled ‘peek' wrong” and "dude, get back to the regular site stuff already!” So come and check it out. kottke.org/about/ama/

@jkottke

At least you didn't spell it 'pique'.

@jkottke follow-up questions: what is the filename of the great big text file? do you keep it on the desktop or in ~ or somewhere else?

@npd It used to be called “tempy.txt” (no idea) but I renamed it "scratch.txt” a few years back. I keep it in Dropbox.

@jkottke Great AMA session! Fun to read your answers (particularly as a fellow Vermonter 😀)

@jkottke I enjoyed your comments about AI and its emotional impact on you. Your statements about using GPT to help you program were interesting and I really like the questions you asked at the end of that answer regarding where the feelings of power come from and all that.

@jkottke top notch animation. I could stare at it all day.

@jkottke Made the world's best pancakes for the fam this morning, thanks for the tip! 🙌

@jkottke

Very cool!!

Love me some gradients btw
