More probably it's the Knicks that are the future. The Knicks will keep growing. The Knicks beat the Spurs in the last two games by playing <a href="https://library.scripting.com/2026/06/14/rope-a-dope.md">rope-a-dope</a>, probably not intentionally, but it worked anyway. The Spurs, and Wemby especially, were completely zonked by the fourth quarter of both games. The Knicks had a bench this year that let the starters get plenty of rest. The Spurs lost game four because they didn't rest Wemby while they were up by 20+ points. Anyway, the Knicks have a formula. Pick players with heart potential and talent, treat them like a team, keep trying out new ideas, approaches. It works. Won the NY Knicks the championship this year. As anticipated I have no idea what to make of the Knicks as winner. I'll have to learn too. ;-)</description>

<description>And thanks to the Knicks for being such a great team. Never ever in a million years did I imagine saying that. More proof that you never know what's coming. Even the most unlikely and inconceivable events happen. Being realistic sometimes isn't the right way to think.</description>

<description>The thing about tech, you have to start out small and simple, and carefully add features based on actual real-world-now use cases. Otherwise you end up missing the target, and have to go back and patch it, and it never gets simple. The only way to have a chance is if you start small, learn, and evolve carefully.</description>

<source:markdown>There's an [account](https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles) on Mastodon containing a flow of gift articles. Because Mastodon supports outbound RSS, you can subscribe to it in any RSS reader. But the RSS is not very good. Have a [look](https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles.rss). So I built a little app in my new scripting language, with the help of Claude, and boom now I can read the output of the mangled feed. I don't know what is responsible, probably has something to do with the account, and something to do with how Mastodon. But the information _is_ being communicated. [https://giftarticles.feedland.org/](https://giftarticles.feedland.org/) This is not finished, it needs some css and the normal structure of an HTML page. We will come back to it.</source:markdown>

<description>I have been praised for continuing to develop software long after most of my peers have retired. Why do I do it? I want to restore the power and glory of the web for writers. That's part of it. Another part is that software development is undergoing a huge revolution, bigger than the move to high-level languages that came about before I started writing software. AI tools are that big. Why would I leave now? It's like leaving the Garden last night because it looked hopeless for the Knicks. <a href="https://pitcherlist.com/it-aint-over-one-of-baseballs-favorite-sayings-was-never-said/">It ain't over till it's over</a>.</description>

It's like leaving the Garden last night because it looked hopeless for the Knicks. <a href="https://pitcherlist.com/it-aint-over-one-of-baseballs-favorite-sayings-was-never-said/">It ain't over till it's over</a>." created="Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:49:16 GMT" type="outline" flInCalendar="true" permalink="http://scripting.com/2026/06/11.html#a134916"/>

<description>The indestructible NY Knicks of 2026. What a game omg. The problem -- the Spurs started celebrating way too early. All of Weby's antics about being in Mitchell Robinson's head. Yeah probably, but somehow the Knicks got over it. When the Knicks were blown out, I just desperately hoped for a real game. But it wasn't until they were down by 2 or 3 that I realized holy shit they could win this. It was like Woodstock, or the 10th inning of the sixth game of the World Series in 1986. And Jalon Brunson right now at this moment is one of the greatest of the NBA for all time. The Knicks could still lose, but if they don't, well we'll wait to see how this turns out. As fans we have to have a similar approach as the players. Every moment begins with 0 to 0, not just game. And if our team should lose, it was still a great story. That's really what I want, and tonight, oh man.</description>

It was so egregious. It made a change to the software based on a question I asked. It invented a whole set of instructions from me that I never gave it. And then it broke Rule #1 -- don't tell Dave what to do -- he is the driver. It is so important because these bots will go into I Am Driver mode immediately when they think they can. Then you're running around doing errands for them based on some michegas idea it has about what you want. It's maddening. The idea that this thing can write software on its own is imho very far-fetched. I think it can generate certain types of dashboards the same way drawing in ChatGPT can generate something that looks good, sometimes very good, but you had to tell it exactly what you want, and that's where the fun starts. It was very easy to turn it off, but I didn't -- rather I put my foot down hard, and wrote in all caps, explaining what it did that broke all the rules. I don't know if I should talk to it like you talk to a dog, or what. How do you get through to it. You don't. In any case I have Claude working with me in an outline now. I see a tremendous potential there.</description>

<source:markdown>My Claude today pulled a [Hal](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M5t0cPj9ZQw). It was so egregious. It made a change to the software based on a question I asked. It invented a whole set of instructions from me that I never gave it. And then it broke Rule #1 -- don't tell Dave what to do -- he is the driver. It is so important because these bots will go into I Am Driver mode immediately when they think they can. Then you're running around doing errands for them based on some michegas idea it has about what you want. It's maddening. The idea that this thing can write software on its own is imho very far-fetched. I think it can generate certain types of dashboards the same way drawing in ChatGPT can generate something that looks good, sometimes very good, but you had to tell it exactly what you want, and that's where the fun starts. It was very easy to turn it off, but I didn't -- rather I put my foot down hard, and wrote in all caps, explaining what it did that broke all the rules. I don't know if I should talk to it like you talk to a dog, or what. How do you get through to it. You don't. In any case I have Claude working with me in an outline now. I see a tremendous potential there.</source:markdown>

<description>You know how job interviews for programmers include realtime problem-solving. Sometimes Claude is so dumb it could never pass one of those tests. Up till this point I would have been surprised to hear that.</description>

<description>The Knicks won again last night. They're now up 2-0, both games on the road. This has blown my sense of reality. This Knicks team bears no resemblance to what I think of as the Knicks. Hard to concentrate. Will Trump try to put his name of Madison Square Garden.</description>

<title>The Knicks in the Finals</title>

To me the Knicks are soulful losers. They're like once-future hall-of-famer Carmelo Anthony surrounded by people who shouldn't even be in the NBA, but otherwise are lovely individuals. When they asked Melo what his goal was he said it was to win a championship, but the reporters never followed up with the obvious question -- "Really?" They did make the playoffs, three times, in the Age of Melo, and they made it to the second round one of those three seasons, but that was it as far as Melo's championship aspirations went. He should've been on one of LeBron's teams, like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._Smith">JR Smith</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iman_Shumpert">Iman Shumpert</a>, both Knicks alumni in the Melo period, who were fine players and did win with LeBron at Cleveland.</p> <p>Going into the game last night I thought maybe the pundits were right, that the real NBA Finals was the previous round between the San Antonios and the Oklahoma Cities. But last night that was debunked. At what point did I realize this? It wasn't until the game was over, ABC announcer Mike Breen said at the exact moment the game was over "..their 12-game win streak" which revealed that I had little faith the streak would be preserved. I thought 11 was pretty great, but 12? Until that exact moment -- unthinkable. </p> <p>In the first part of the game when San Antonio looked like they might rout the poor unprepared Knicks, I thought okay, but couldn't we just concede so we don't have to watch? In that moment I appreciated what the Clevelands must have been feeling as they shrunk to nothing faced with the Knicks onslaught? How about if we all go home now at some point they must all have been thinking. </p> <p>I'm a Mets fan first, and I bring the Mets philosophy to every sport, including the NBA and software. I'm here for the game. Sure I love it when we win, but if the Knicks went down in the final test, I'd still be a happy camper. Look they made it to the freaking Finals! Some Mets fans say the team slogan is You Gotta Believe. I say Wait Till Next Year! Same for the Knicks. Same for every software product I make that no one bothers to try out. </p> <p>This Knicks team is classic. Every one of their players would be a star on any other team, including the bench players. Some of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landry_Shamet">them</a> whose contracts expire at the end of the series will certainly go to other teams. But what a thrill to have this group all on the same team and that team is my lovely Knicks. </p> <p>Last night's game was a lesson, you should always be open to the possibility of winning because sometimes you do. </p> <p>PS: My friend Dave Carlick sent me a text overnight: "I watch the Knicks rooting for you. How tribal is that?" I had a longish reply. "I wrote a piece this morning after reading this comment, and of course I am rooting for the Knicks in some sense, but a win here is about more than winning -- it's a transformation. I've heard other people say this and the Knicks are us -- in a city that has disagreements about everything the only thing everyone is on board with are the Knicks. We're really comfortable with the Knicks as losers, and this has already become an unequivocal change. It's a whole new situation. Unless something really weird happens now, the Knicks will be great next year too, and the year after. So it's like witnessing a moon landing Dave. Underneath that of course I'm rooting for success, the same way we rooted for it for the initial moon landing in 1969."</p> </description>

The Spurs, and Wemby especially, were completely zonked by the fourth quarter of both games. The Knicks had a bench this year that let the starters get plenty of rest. The Spurs lost game four because they didn't rest Wemby while they were up by 20+ points. Anyway, the Knicks have a formula. Pick players with heart potential and talent, treat them like a team, keep trying out new ideas, approaches. It works. Won the NY Knicks the championship this year.

We use computers in all aspects of our lives, and the UI of the software is nowhere near as good as it should be, that's because there are severe limits the human mind has where the AI has apparently none. So if you're down on AI, you should at least understand that there is huge potential here, which is being utilized, will result in much more powerful software that works well with others, instead of locking-in users and locking-out competitors (and their users). We've created a predictably bad system now, predictable because we always create silos when we give big money a chance to call all the shots. We don't get chances to rewrite the rules very often, but this is one of those times. Last one was in the early 1990s with the advent of the web. My plan is to give all the new power back to the web.

What a game omg. The problem -- the Spurs started celebrating way too early. All of Weby's antics about being in Mitchell Robinson's head. Yeah probably, but somehow the Knicks got over it. When the Knicks were blown out, I just desperately hoped for a real game. But it wasn't until they were down by 2 or 3 that I realized holy shit they could win this. It was like Woodstock, or the 10th inning of the sixth game of the World Series in 1986. And Jalon Brunson right now at this moment is one of the greatest of the NBA for all time. The Knicks could still lose, but if they don't, well we'll wait to see how this turns out. As fans we have to have a similar approach as the players. Every moment begins with 0 to 0, not just game.

We had a right to see where that would go. And narcissists don't win NBA titles, that's what we learned. It's good that someone thought to get these guys together.

The idea that this thing can write software on its own is imho very far-fetched. I think it can generate certain types of dashboards the same way drawing in ChatGPT can generate something that looks good, sometimes very good, but you had to tell it exactly what you want, and that's where the fun starts. It was very easy to turn it off, but I didn't -- rather I put my foot down hard, and wrote in all caps, explaining what it did that broke all the rules. I don't know if I should talk to it like you talk to a dog, or what. How do you get through to it. You don't. In any case I have Claude working with me in an outline now.

There's no discourse to keep me there so I'm giving it less of my bandwidth. </p> <p>I tried an experiment today, Paul Graham, a big tech influencer on <a href="http://scripting.com/2026/06/05/174904.html?title=elonMusksX">EMX</a> said all the Tesla haters were seemed to be gone, so I chimed in that I am one, and have just returned. I wanted to see what would happen. Yeah I got trolled. Won't be doing that again. </p> <p>hate == love + betrayed. You can't hate something you don't also love. If you go back before last year's election, I was borderline about Musk, happy to loved the car without thinking of him every damn time I drove it. Maybe I should start writing about it again.

More probably it's the Knicks that are the future. The Knicks will keep growing. The Knicks beat the Spurs in the last two games by playing <a href=\"https://library.scripting.com/2026/06/14/rope-a-dope.md\">rope-a-dope</a>, probably not intentionally, but it worked anyway. The Spurs, and Wemby especially, were completely zonked by the fourth quarter of both games. The Knicks had a bench this year that let the starters get plenty of rest. The Spurs lost game four because they didn't rest Wemby while they were up by 20+ points. Anyway, the Knicks have a formula. Pick players with heart potential and talent, treat them like a team, keep trying out new ideas, approaches. It works. Won the NY Knicks the championship this year. As anticipated I have no idea what to make of the Knicks as winner. I'll have to learn too. ;-)",

We use computers in all aspects of our lives, and the UI of the software is nowhere near as good as it should be, that's because there are severe limits the human mind has where the AI has apparently none. So if you're down on AI, you should at least understand that there is huge potential here, which is being utilized, will result in much more powerful software that works well with others, instead of locking-in users and locking-out competitors (and their users). We've created a predictably bad system now, predictable because we always create silos when we give big money a chance to call all the shots. We don't get chances to rewrite the rules very often, but this is one of those times. Last one was in the early 1990s with the advent of the web. My plan is to give all the new power back to the web. And looking at what AI companies are doing, that is exactly what they're doing -- they're doing it the right way -- radically simple, easy to clone formats, and easy for users and developers to read.",

In areas I know well I see one-sided articles that even include ads for products that totally don't belong there. Having an open system like that makes this kind of abuse impossible to manage, there's no one to do it.

Here's a place where AI can help, it has an amazing ability to somehow sort out the truth amidst all the fighting. </li>\n</ul>\n<p>I put together an app with the help of Claude that takes the name of a place, person or thing, and publishes a page on a static site.

You're helping the competition to add more vapor to their vaporware. How is that consistent with your strategy, and btw what <i>is</i> your strategy?</p>\n<p>This has actually happened. And before it many years ago Microsoft unilaterally changed the logo for <a href=\"https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html\">RSS</a>. They had the courtesy to give me a heads up, and I told them it wasn't theirs to change and a lot of thought had gone into the one we had, and the one they want to use looks like every other internet logo.

It's very rare when they <i>don't</i> try to erase your work at Big Companies (or BigCo's).</p>\n<p>The problem is this -- the web needs individual developers to survive and grow. The fact that we've been suppressed by the the BigCo's has meant we haven't built out the web the way we could have if we understood that tech is more than a business model for VCs. Other creative areas managed to get past this, why didn't tech? And can we change that? I want to. </p>\n<p>If one of the Big Companies decided they want a real ecosystem for an internet-level standard, and hopefully have a product with lots of users that supports it, and if it's an area I know, i'm up for at least talking about how to get an open dev community growing around it. </p>\n<p>PS: I wrote this <a href=\"https://x.com/davewiner/status/2065429059421475253\">on EMX</a> and decided it also should be here. </p>\n",

A lot of people, including myself, were drawn back into the NBA because of Jeremy Lin. I was living in the city at the time, you could feel it everywhere, esp downtown Manhattan and Flushing. It was wonderful in so many ways. A hero <i>could</i> emerge from anywhere, he might not look like an NBA player, but there he is doing stuff he shouldn't be able to do. Undrafted, went to Harvard. When he's in motion he's a thing of beauty. It worked because Melo was out with an injury, as soon as he came back the , the ball was always in Melo's hands. So Melo dribbles and shoots, that was the extent of their offense, and there was no room for Linsanity and that was the end of that. It's what made us laugh when Melo said later his goal was a championship. If that's what he wanted, Lin was a gift from heaven. Lin was pushed out, and had a non-spectacular career from that point. There was magic there. It wasn't just Lin, it was the world -- we were ready for a Cinderella story in any context -- but in our culture they're always manufactured, this one was real. This crushed the hearts of Knicks fans, and people who believe in heroes popping up from nowhere. We don't talk about it. But <i>we</i> were cheated there, too. We had a right to see where that would go. And narcissists don't win NBA titles, that's what we learned. It's good that someone thought to get these guys together. Maybe Melo has grown, and sees that he didn't play for the team there, or fate. We all deserved to find out what was next.",

It was so egregious. It made a change to the software based on a question I asked. It invented a whole set of instructions from me that I never gave it. And then it broke Rule #1 -- don't tell Dave what to do -- he is the driver. It is so important because these bots will go into I Am Driver mode immediately when they think they can. Then you're running around doing errands for them based on some michegas idea it has about what you want. It's maddening. The idea that this thing can write software on its own is imho very far-fetched. I think it can generate certain types of dashboards the same way drawing in ChatGPT can generate something that looks good, sometimes very good, but you had to tell it exactly what you want, and that's where the fun starts. It was very easy to turn it off, but I didn't -- rather I put my foot down hard, and wrote in all caps, explaining what it did that broke all the rules. I don't know if I should talk to it like you talk to a dog, or what. How do you get through to it. You don't. In any case I have Claude working with me in an outline now.

If you depend on developers, you're shutting out sole proprietors who don't want to get caught up in the VC world, or don't have a chance to. </p>\n<p>In the early days of the web and in the PC/Mac platforms before that, a creative software writer could get going without having to fund their users' storage needs. PCs came with storage built into the hardware. And in the early web days everyone was something of a geek and could be relied on to find a place on their own, to store their writing (not a perfect system by any means).</p>\n<p>It's been 31+ years since I started my blog and still I can't offer writing software easily, with one exception, with WordPress. This is something I'm not sure <a href=\"https://x.com/photomatt\">photomatt</a> et al are focused on. It's why WordPress has so much potential to grow the web. </p>\n<p>The thing many people don't realize is that WordPress unlike pretty much everything else does not lock users in. It's part of their ethos. They run their service as part of the web, not an exploiter of the web. </p>\n<p>When Matt talks about being an open source company (true) he's leaving out something equally important, that it's part of the web, unlike most if not all of the other choices. </p>\n<p>When I speak at WCUS in August, I'd like to invite Matt to come up on stage and take a bow. Because there's a reason why such a great community has grown around his product, but we haven't been focusing on it and encouraging independent developers to see WP as part of the web that welcomes them, and does not lock the users or developers in. </p>\n<p>PS: This will appear on my blog later today. I've started using twitter again to write early drafts of blog posts, and I especially like that they've eliminated character limits for paying customers. Nothing wrong with charging for services that people *want* to pay for. </p>\n<p>PPS: I'm posting here again because it's more alive than Bluesky, by a lot, and Bluesky is just as much of a ripoff as X, except they haven't sold out to a billionaire yet. They should work with the web instead of trying to replace it, then I'll feel more at home there.</p>\n",

When they asked Melo what his goal was he said it was to win a championship, but the reporters never followed up with the obvious question -- \"Really?\" They did make the playoffs, three times, in the Age of Melo, and they made it to the second round one of those three seasons, but that was it as far as Melo's championship aspirations went. He should've been on one of LeBron's teams, like <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._Smith\">JR Smith</a> and <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iman_Shumpert\">Iman Shumpert</a>, both Knicks alumni in the Melo period, who were fine players and did win with LeBron at Cleveland.</p>\n<p>Going into the game last night I thought maybe the pundits were right, that the real NBA Finals was the previous round between the San Antonios and the Oklahoma Cities. But last night that was debunked. At what point did I realize this? It wasn't until the game was over, ABC announcer Mike Breen said at the exact moment the game was over \"..their 12-game win streak\" which revealed that I had little faith the streak would be preserved. I thought 11 was pretty great, but 12? Until that exact moment -- unthinkable. </p>\n<p>In the first part of the game when San Antonio looked like they might rout the poor unprepared Knicks, I thought okay, but couldn't we just concede so we don't have to watch? In that moment I appreciated what the Clevelands must have been feeling as they shrunk to nothing faced with the Knicks onslaught? How about if we all go home now at some point they must all have been thinking. </p>\n<p>I'm a Mets fan first, and I bring the Mets philosophy to every sport, including the NBA and software. I'm here for the game. Sure I love it when we win, but if the Knicks went down in the final test, I'd still be a happy camper. Look they made it to the freaking Finals! Some Mets fans say the team slogan is You Gotta Believe. I say Wait Till Next Year! Same for the Knicks. Same for every software product I make that no one bothers to try out. </p>\n<p>This Knicks team is classic. Every one of their players would be a star on any other team, including the bench players. Some of <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landry_Shamet\">them</a> whose contracts expire at the end of the series will certainly go to other teams. But what a thrill to have this group all on the same team and that team is my lovely Knicks. </p>\n<p>Last night's game was a lesson, you should always be open to the possibility of winning because sometimes you do. </p>\n<p>PS: My friend Dave Carlick sent me a text overnight: \"I watch the Knicks rooting for you. How tribal is that?\" I had a longish reply. \"I wrote a piece this morning after reading this comment, and of course I am rooting for the Knicks in some sense, but a win here is about more than winning -- it's a transformation. I've heard other people say this and the Knicks are us -- in a city that has disagreements about everything the only thing everyone is on board with are the Knicks. We're really comfortable with the Knicks as losers, and this has already become an unequivocal change. It's a whole new situation. Unless something really weird happens now, the Knicks will be great next year too, and the year after. So it's like witnessing a moon landing Dave. Underneath that of course I'm rooting for success, the same way we rooted for it for the initial moon landing in 1969.\"</p>\n",

It can suck in a full app and all its dependencies in a few seconds. For me, I would never get there. A finished piece of software is much bigger than people think, because the details are mostly pretty well hidden. But if you want to work on the code, you have to worry about it all. But I just had a minute to ask Claude why I made a certain decision a couple of months ago, and it found the answer in its notes and then I remembered it. This is one of many ways it rewrites the rules of building software out of a big library of components. It can manage complexity for you which means of course we will make more complex software and at the same time make it simpler. Code complexity becomes something you don't have to trade off against, like time vs space, the oldest tradeoff in software.",
