@TheAtlantic is hitting hard this morning I believe they prohibit writing by AI. Set your cognitive standards high.

I'm coming to terms that smart wearables might just be nocebos in app tuxedos

Okay, loops are great, ran my first `/loop` and `/goal` commands today and watched tokens go brrr. Does anyone have an example of an org-level plugin/connector? I want to see if I can build an onboarding one like mentioned in the article > "...plugins bundle connectors and skills together so your teammate installs your setup in one go instead of rebuilding the whole thing from memory."

@RyanHoliday The hyperlink to Green's "tactical hell" is dead, but I imagine you're posting older work. Thanks, it's my first time reading this, and I found it helpful. I'll look it up myself.

Pathless Update: I've pivoted from trying to build x number of startups in y days. When I project forward and consider what I want to do when I "retire" or my "endgame," it has some sort of creative output. I studied cinema to explore this, but I chose software engineering to get the lifestyle I wanted. When I started developing 6 years ago, I knew I wanted to use it as a financial engine to explore hobbies on the side in the future. Growing up lower middle class, money seemed like a barrier to my many curiosities, so when I became debt-free, I tried so many new things, but I never returned to the cinema. At my wisest moments, I remind myself, "Why can't today be the day you do the thing you're holding off for some future date?" I'm not hanging up my job, but I am optimizing for creative happiness via writing essays and visual storytelling. I'll be sharing that exploration here.
