Tinker Tuesday for September 15th, 2026

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service.

Being realistic, I'm not doing my day job any more -- it's only training my Indian replacements and I'm not that motivated to do that if you can imagine.

They threaten to withold severance or something? Jokes on them I guess, you'll pretend to train your indian replacement and he'll pretend to work.

Grats on having fun. I can't wait till im paeudo retired and have time for personal projects again.

Hasn't gotten to threats or anything, thankfully. I'm doing what I need to for another month. It's just so disappointing to see the quality of my "replacement."

I'm giving her remedial training on Windows and how to use AI -- despite the selling point from her firm that they are an AI first shop. I told her to install Copilot CLI (because that's what's authorized to be used, not my choice) and she was doing the equivalent of a blank look of "how?" She hadn't even thought to hit up Google and type "install copilot cli," which of course brings back the correct result at the top.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
