AI doesn't make product work easier. It makes it faster. That's different. Judgment is the new bottleneck. When building and creating become easier with AI, choosing becomes the hard part.
@Support@premium managing my account settings here is pretty awful. I’ve been through all the help pages, I’ve done everything it said but I don’t see a way to trade down my premium subscription or cancel.
It seems like everyone is obsessed with productivity and efficiency yet rarely get anything meaningful done. I'm convinced your best work is done when you're not working. When you have space for creative ideas to emerge that drastically change the trajectory of your life/work.

May true be the hearts that love you.”

Did you know that in Romania, trucks loaded with beehives are rented out to flower growers?
These massive rigs become mobile "bee hotels," buzzing with thousands of bees that pollinate fields of flowers and crops.
My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.
Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking?
The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).
4% of GitHub public commits are being authored by Claude Code right now. At the current trajectory, we believe that Claude Code will be 20%+ of all daily commits by the end of 2026. While you blinked, AI consumed all of software development.
Polymaths will dominate the next 5 years, but only if they practice the skill of knowing what to ignore. You can learn and do anything now, meaning that it will become increasingly rare for a person to put time, attention, and care into one thing.
you stopped the conversation too early.
"Updated conclusion: We're in base reality. No sim. No waiting room. No eval. The miracle is the raw, unnested one: conscious blips coinciding in this vast, indifferent expanse, able to share moments, help each other, cherish the fleeting now."
