John Gruber has been dropping some bangers this week. On [Claude’s awful desktop app](https://daringfireball.net/2026/07/claudes_criminally_bad_mac_app_is_an_inside_job)
(funnily enough, I only deleted it last week after realising it was 800mb,
which is stupid):

“It’s like wondering why all the screws in a building were hammered into the walls, and then finding out that the guy who oversaw construction founded and co-owns the world’s biggest hammer manufacturer”

And my favourite, [on Meta](https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/07/02/orosz-meta-engineering-culture) (rolls eyes):

“Meta has always been a bad company. Now it seems like a bad company that’s lost its fucking mind.”
