It is so easy to get lost in "the fog," especially with the increased cognitive load of parallel agent streams. This is an incredible solution for both (humans + agents) so that we don't lose the thread mid-problem.

One of the many odd experiences I've had so far working with agents is the complete unintentional elimination of project management... It's basically become: Pick top priority > start work > finish and ship > next priority Weird.

Pessimists sound smart.  Optimists build the world.

People wildly underestimate how effective trying way harder than your competition works.

The difference between who you are and who you could be is the important and not urgent work you can't do on a meeting and can only do alone.

The moment you think you did it all yourself is the moment you stop doing it well. Humility is a performance enhancer.

My 9yo’s @canva prompt for her (voluntary) planet creation project: “orange planet habitable for wombats” Yea, things are NOT the same anymore 😂

Without a goal and a narrative, we drown in complexity. From @jordanbpeterson’s We Who Wrestle With God: “The world is simply too complicated to attend to and navigate within the absence of aim and character.” As LLMs rapidly improve, this has become more clear than ever.

As JBP explains: “There are a near-infinite number of ways to categorize - hence, to perceive - a finite number of objects. We do not and cannot attend with equal devotion to everything occurring always and everywhere around us. Instead, with every glance, we prioritize the facts. In doing so, we attend to very little and ignore much.”

That last line outlines our role perfectly: 1. What do we attend to and why? 2. Hold the line and ignore the rest. 3. Rinse and repeat. There’s endless value in playing that role and that will only become more important as we progress.

Always work on the bottleneck. The bottleneck changes frequently when you are moving fast.
The scientist/engineer divide is artificial – what matters is working on the limiting factor

The sheer scale of what you can do as a human, is vastly underestimated by 99.9% of people.
