A compliment and a curiosity:

1. Love the addition. Everything becoming its own self-serve artifact factory is great. Malleable software's been a dream a long time, it's supposed to be soft and this concept helps get it there.

2. Since Claude goes on and on about surface, now everyone is using it. Or was everyone using it already?

FTA: “I quickly realised that the sandboxed pattern is interesting for way more than just adding custom apps to the interface surface and promoted it to its own top-level concept within the Datasette ecosystem.”

For decades that sentence would have parsed without the word surface in it. What does it mean that's suddenly so – um – load-bearing?

Huh... not sure how that got in there, I wrote this without LLM assistance (aside from a proof reading run, but I do that in Claude so it doesn't have the ability to edit my own text).

It's quite possible I've been subconsciously influenced into thinking in terms of "surfaces" though!

I just edited that to this, which is a bit cleaner:
