I ended up at Tldraw's London office a few weeks ago for a thing, and I remember afterwards being like 'ahh, now I understand how they end up just casually doing random cool shit and attracting the kind of talent they do'.

They should be extremely proud of the culture they've managed to foster and I genuinely hope to see them succeed as a business.

Very much this! I was also at a thing at their office a few weeks ago (some thing? "Local Thirst"), and Steve gave a demo of this. It is incredible.

I've joked before that the last generation of human machine interfaces ware invented at Xerox park, and the next generation is being invented at TLDraw of Finsbury Park. But it's not really a joke, I genuinely believe it.

It was a cool thing... I expected a hacky demo that'd fall apart mid-way but it held up. The Macintosh SE in the office was cool too.

Ha yeah, that was the same thing! The night it rained sideways.

So this is the demo people were talking about at the end of the night! I was quite annoyed I missed it, makes sense now. I think I was nerding out over current-gen HIDs while eyeing up their very tastefully equipped coffee station (ozone roasters ftw)

I agree. Looking at this, it seems to be exactly how I want to use LLMs. Describe a small transformation of data I don't want to work out now, connect it to other components. As the needs become more-defined, replace each part with a faster, more-reliable, well-defined data transformation. I could actually see developing a system this way...
