I have spent the last few weeks building Public Purse Ireland.

Its aim is simple. List every line item of government expenditure with the supplier, description and the amount, starting with grants and purchase orders.

No fancy charts, no broad economic strokes, but just there in black and white.

The information is out there, scattered and hidden on the web. Public Purse brings it under one roof.

Do some Americans actually do this? It seems to be a bit extreme to move states because most of neighbors voted differently.

It would be like me moving to Germany because I didn't vote FFG.

To all the conservative bigots preparing to move out of Texas to Alabama or Arkansas or Idaho, remember not to take your Blue Texas values with you

I started getting my agents to print documents with HTML instead of markdown

You can use CSS to style them and add interactivity with SVGs and JavaScript.

It's pretty cool to break down concepts this way. Next, I would like to remove that "AI Voice" from the writing.

I don't see the point to review AI generated code anymore.

AI agents are the new compiler.

We don't review bytecode. We just trust the output of the compiler.
I don't think we should treat AI output differently.

However, the authoring layer cannot be markdown. I feel like there's a paradigm just around the corner that we have missed so far. Maybe a new "language", which won't look like a programming language at all.

The reason why the 300 Spartan warriors lost is probably because they weren't leveraging AI agentic workflows.

I've now added a timer to the site

To cover the ongoing costs of running Pubic Purse, I'll be switching it to a subscription model.

Anyone who bought the founding licence won't have to pay.

If you've been on the fence, sign up now, and you won't have to pay again.

I'll be making the switch on Friday.
