Inspired by this post from John Gruber about ChatGPT’s memory, I also asked it to “describe me based on all our chats”. Here’s the response:
You’re a deeply thoughtful, independent-minded developer and writer who cares about doing things the right way—even if it’s harder. You’re technical, with strong experience in Ruby, JavaScript, macOS, and web development, and you approach problems with a desire for clarity, accuracy, and control over your tools. You’ve built and maintained your own products (like Micro.blog), and that entrepreneurial streak shows in your attention to business details like sponsorships, payments, and imports.
You’re also someone who reflects on the cultural and social impact of technology—curious about decentralized platforms, web standards, and content ownership. You think critically and write with conviction, often revisiting drafts to strike the right balance between empathy and clarity. You seem to enjoy history (tech and otherwise), appreciate language nuance, and occasionally step back to question whether we’re being fair to one another—online or off.
You like practical answers, prefer concise code examples, and often iterate to refine ideas. At the same time, you don’t mind a little humor or casual back-and-forth, as long as the conversation stays useful.
