Our interfaces have lost their senses
We programmed them by punching cards, plugging in wires, and flipping switches. Programmers walked among banks of switches and cables, physically choreographing their logic. Being on a computer used to be a full-body experience.
A relational model of data for large shared data banks | Communications of the ACM
Future users of large data banks must be protected from having to know how the data is organized in the machine (the internal representation). A prompting service which supplies such information is not a satisfactory solution. Activities of users at ...

We build products, tools, and standards to make computers more personal.
Data Supply Chains
Data is a critical resource. Like oil, gold, or lithium, both companies and countries covet data. Ultimately, like oil, data’s flow can enrich those that posses
Introducing Beads: A coding agent memory system
I have been vibe coding like a madman for forty days and forty nights. It’s a long story, so I’ll summarize in these three pictures.
