I (quietly) announced Raven this month. So far there are no photographers outside my house; I thank the world’s news media for respecting my privacy.
That first post is mostly a reference for future writing. I’ve been sending out emails to you lot without explaining what the project actually is (though I appreciate a couple of you reaching out to ask!). With the core ideas laid out, I plan to write more public posts too.
I’ve also spent the last month playing with AI coding tools, having barely tried any of them before. I’ve drunk the kool-aid and I’m in pretty deep; this is the most compelling toy I’ve played with in a long time, and also the most maddening. This is clearly a marked change to how we write code, and I have Thoughts on how that affects software engineering, programming languages, and Raven specifically.
