House Rules

A short page that exists so the footer link works and so the language policy is in writing.

What this site is

Opie&I.com is a personal field journal of projects built with Anthropic's Claude Opus. It's a portfolio of things I tried — some shipped, some didn't, some I'd do differently in hindsight. The site is independent and personal. I don't represent Anthropic and nothing here is official.

Profanity policy

I use profanity here for color and humor, but never spelled out plainly — every instance has a special character standing in for a vowel: f*ck, sh!t, b!tch, @ss. That substitution character is always shown in the amber accent color. It's the same gesture the wordmark uses with the &: a special character to mark the moment.

The convention is the brand voice. It's also a built-in content warning: a reader sees a stray amber character and immediately knows the kind of voice they're reading.

Zero tolerance for hate

Profanity for color is fine. Hate speech, slurs, dehumanization, or targeted hostility toward any group — never. Not in entries, not in code, not in image captions, not in any comments area that might exist on this site one day. There is no clever-character-substitution version of a slur that would be allowed here. Words that only ever appear in service of hate just don't appear at all.

Trademarks

"Claude" and "Opus" are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC. Opie&I is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic. References to Claude and Opus on this site are nominative — describing what tool was used for a project — not a claim of endorsement or partnership.

Code samples and project source linked from entries are licensed per their own repositories. Writing on this site (entries, captions, this page) is licensed Creative Commons BY 4.0 — quote it, link to it, build on it; just credit Opie&I.com if you use a substantial chunk.
