How this journal works #

Gathered every 3 days: a web search on this topic (10 search terms, plus watched authors (simon willison, boris cherny, swyx)) skips links already in the journal and writes one dated entry of what’s new, with links to related topics. Preferred sources: docs.anthropic.com, code.claude.com, platform.claude.com, github.com/anthropics, news.ycombinator.com, simonwillison.net.
