asset ownership -vs- progress of wage earners will be the defining issue in all future elections #debasement
When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I thought when unemployment was low, GDP was hi, household income rose, it meant everyone was winning. Not true. The American economy has decoupled the economic progress of asset owners from wage earners to such a degree that broad based measures of success are no longer reliable measures of progress. This single issue of asset ownership vs progress of wage earners will be the defining issue in all future elections. Other issues will get caught in the interpretation (price of eggs, Iran war, price of gas etc) but the candidate that realizes that those are downstream of asset vs wage earners and gets their messaging focused on it will win. No amount of money spent in an election or gerrymandering will change this outcome. That is what I learned on Nov3.

Disengaging from syntax is not disengaging from engineering.
Disengaging from syntax is not disengaging from engineering. I’m working on a significant project at the moment. It’s in a pre-production state so far. More than a prototype, less than ready for real users. I’ve been making multiple passes over the structure for each of the following concerns: Architecture, coverage, race & concurrency, security, API, etc. Each of these requires significant interrogation and review of verification procedures; but not review of the code. At base are the /ub-mode (GitHub.com/unclebob) rules that keep the agents disciplined as far as coding structure and tests are concerned. But above that it’s me making sure that all the bases are covered well enough to keep my client safe from stupid sloppy mistakes. I am the engineer. I am responsible. The agents are just my tools. They are power tools, to be sure. But power tools in the hands of novices result in missing fingers. So I am very careful.

I'm so tired of reading model outputs. Never have I read so much in my life.

Justice is needed here, not in some ethereal plane; ⬇ Get down to business.
Justification is umbilically related to justice: God puts people right with himself so that they may be part of, and be recruited for roles within, his ongoing purpose of putting the world right. That remains our vocation to this day. -Into the Heart of Isaiah

Yeah, we built a sync engine. Vibing into it felt too easy. It was. I hadn't made any of the difficult choices involved in that; I didn't even know what they were. 🧠 I do now.

Has an LLM ever led you down a primrose path? Oh, they might do that, mhmm… Did me.
