## Blog posts

- [Capabilities Unlock Creativity](https://alt.lol/blog/capabilities-unlock-creativity.md): fal’s H3 Max made video generation faster than real time and cheap enough to iterate on. A day later my friends were laughing at a music video about cats secretly running the world.
- [It’s Time to Revisit No Silver Bullet Part II](https://alt.lol/blog/its-time-to-revisit-no-silver-bullet-part-ii.md): Brooks said attacking the accidents can’t get you 10x because the essential work stays, and he wrote it as an equation. I walked one Alt feature through it: songs. The essential complexity didn’t disappear. The cost of exploring it collapsed.
- [It’s Time to Revisit No Silver Bullet](https://alt.lol/blog/its-time-to-revisit-no-silver-bullet.md): In 1986, Fred Brooks argued in No Silver Bullet that we wouldn’t see a single breakthrough deliver a 10x improvement in software productivity. I’m starting to wonder if AI gives us a reason to ask the question again.
- [Disrupting Work With Alt](https://alt.lol/blog/disrupting-work-with-alt.md): There's a lot of very serious discussion about how AI will disrupt work. Important discussion. Weighty discussion. I already see it.
- [Cron Might Be the Most Boring Technology in the World](https://alt.lol/blog/cron-might-be-the-most-boring-technology-in-the-world.md): Every night at 9PM a cron job sends a construction-paper me out for a walk. How the most boring tool became a way for two friends to show up for each other.
- [Every Group Chat Has an Assa](https://alt.lol/blog/every-group-chat-has-an-assa.md): Assa the cat: pet, pet, BITE. On why group chats come alive when their history becomes playable.
- [The Most Entertaining Place on the Internet](https://alt.lol/blog/the-most-entertaining-place-on-the-internet.md): Group chats run on lore. The right AI — built for fun, creativity, and connection, not replacement — will turn your group chat into the most entertaining place on the internet.
