AI is already a black box. Don’t make it worse New entry

Short opinion entry

:cv-machine:CV Machine (2026) New release

Like other projects, I will try to write a piece on the why, the design constraints, and some process stuff. It has been an interesting experience building a document editor and dealing with the balance between the canvas and panel editing. It started as a quick throw-together side project, but with refinement, it has become a great companion piece for my work and study search in the absolute hellscape that is the current job market.
I currently gather feedback through Tally FormsForm - Tally. I already know it fits my needs really well, but I think there’s room to make something useful for others. I have put together a simple pipeline that allows me to make adjustments as I see fit on my branch but distribute stable versions people could play with without me breaking their stuff. The cv-machine subdomain just routes to the latest stable version, with each one, along with the nightly, being individually accessible through its own sub-subdomain.

Using the built-in webcam of Macbook has proven to be really handy for taking screenshots of my paper drafts and research. Raycast is definitely a gold mine. On that note, I have downloaded GlazeBuild and Share Mac Apps with AI But I haven’t found the time to build something for myself for the moment. That said, there is a neat World Cup app you could download on it through the store!

Aside

NotionHelp, Support, and Documentation for Notion It feels absolutely shameful. Textbook bad practices. Buy software that people rely on (Skiff), kill it to transform it into a Google wrapper, call it Notion Mail and Notion Calendar, do mostly nothing with it, and they kill the new mail client and say that we can use their paid custom agent instead. Oh sure, I want to burn tokens to check my email.

Aside

… Since I wrote the first crashout, they have revealed a new AI chat app for iOS… During this time, there is no monthly view for the Calendar phone app.

Aside

Really neat project — YouTubeFFFFinder. I decided to make my own alternative to macOS Finder. And…
