decided over the weekend to try out opening up a block of calls over the next few weeks: calendly.com/methodandstr...
if you're in leadership and have been following me long enough to know what I'm about, I invite you to book a 30-minute free consultation call to jam about whatever you working on.

One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline.
I think this has not been adequately metabolized.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

today's job: i have upgrayedded my content-addressable store with its new metadata layout, which now includes a flag to indicate that an entry is cache
(i still have yet to do any cache eviction code but not fussed about that)
this will form the basis of intertwingler's internal caching mechanism

really vibing with this definition of knowledge that involves the process of actually acquiring said knowledge
The value of knowledge is in having done the work. The value of research is in having done the research. The value of a summary is in having summarized the information. The value of writing is in having done the writing.

moreover the precipitating event that got me to quit was a death march of a project, doomed because the principal had committed to delivering something he didn't have the faintest clue how he was going to do it or what it was even going to look like.
i made it my mission to solve that meta-problem.

i basically quit doing software dev on an FTE basis because i could only count one thing i did that actually had a palpable effect on the outside world, and in hindsight that thing was probably bad.
everything else was like made up and/or was killed or abandoned or some other typical s/w casualty

Speaking as someone who worked in tech for two decades, if you work in tech and you do not care about whether thing you are making really works or not (to include what good or harm it actually does in the world), you are *not* a technologist. You are a pay pig.

the thing about advertising is if you have a counterparty whose job it is to send you messages, there is always going to be an incentive to send you somebody else's messages, unless the context makes that somehow verboten

lol i am finally fiiiiiiiinally putting the cap on this, after spending the last three days not working on it and writing a thing instead
not sure why this has been such a slog
actually i have an idea: the new layout is veeeery similar to the old one but not in any way that was reusable

tues/weds/thurs i was sore and sluggish; i think i might have caught something but one vaccine or another nailed it
