This year I saw stark difference between Idea People vs Doer People. The Idea people were generally used to being managers. They would talk and talk about what SHOULD be done, but when asked the plan for DOING it w/resource constraints, would hem and haw and throw up hands and say it was impossible. Then […]

I’ve been on the struggle bus with female MC in this new book. I keep trying to make her less monstrous than other Hurley heroines, and is it any wonder that’s been a struggle? ? At this point in my life, I really need to stop fighting my urge to “differentiate” and just go full

Finished up this delightful book nook build that spouse got me for Xmas. It was soothing blend of Lego building and puzzle making that I found extremely satisfying, promoting extreme focus and deep work that magically settled anxiety. Now I understand the “old people working on puzzles” stereotype. Scrolling and screens have hijacked an enormous

This how they did in my day job team in Jan. The roundup here is a good compilation of the impacts on the people at ground zero in the LLM wars. The job kept the team intact long enough to train bots, then fired 75% of them. If you wonder why I have clear eyed

It destroyed local economies, undercut worker power and wages locally, exploited workers in other countries, and made rich people richer: That’s a reality the far left AND the far right can agree on.

This is a great long thread about strategies for coping with uncertainty. It touches on similiar strategies I’ve talked about here and elsewhere about how to navigate a world where every step you take feels like trying to navigate a sea of quicksand. I learned a lot the first time round when we had a

I’ve found comfort the last 10 years in looking back at historical comparisons of the last few hundred years in our history. The likelihood that I’ll survive a prolonged disruption of supply chains and civil unrest is of course quite low (I’m dead in 48 hours without meds) but knowing humans just… Become seething, mad
