Two days in so far, and we have pulled together 40% of my current goal.
Let's keep the momentum up on this,
so I can stop losing sleep over where I am going to keep my cat.

What if...
You're not actually autistic,
but instead a narcissistic neurotic with an inability to adjust to sudden minor changes because it undermines your illusion of control?

very early alpha but
designed for this problem
I’m very pro AI, but in terms of the Twitter software engineering discourse I see mostly people doing single person vibe coding, or AI labs with infinite compute Ralph Wigguming giant codebases.
What I don’t see are people doing AI software engineering that has multiple humans contributing to a single code base, each using AI agents, working in a non-commodified domain.
In this world I believe the AI hype bois are over their skis in terms of proclaiming the death of software engineering. Maybe in the future but for now in this 6 month gradient of the Singularity the reality on the ground are things like:
- Using CI as a harness to ensure agentic coding is correct and validated
- Balancing velocity with other concerns (reliability, choosing the right problems, quality, etc)
- Making sure the system has an architecture and philosophy so that you don’t end up with spaghetti
- Still doing code reviews (though they can be augmented with AI) to ensure you don’t end up with cognitive debt.
- Balancing AI costs, and mixing in “human tokens” where appropriate
- etc
I’d love to hear more from others in this domain! Ie those not just doing solo development projects or AI labs with infinite compute

Woke up with an abiding fondness for Thor...
(This is new. I was never a fan of Little Thunderbuns before, but here we are.)
Hail Thor,
Protector of Mankind,
Jotun-bane,
Hammer of the Aesir,
Herakles of the North.

The Butcher did not know himself,
until his labors started.
Hefted cleaver seemed so light,
till many heads sat at his feet.
Watching the flight of living rivers,
growing cold with tonic shivering.
The work, they said it was easy.
The weight was not.
He sought knot.
He was not.

Say you break this wheel.
No one can spin thread.
Nothing for Weaving.
No Tapestry.
No-Mind.
Nada.
Ni.

one of my favorite tantric meditations is bhuta shuddi
purification of the elements
grounding the lower body in a golden cube of light rooting down into the earth
holding a silvery bowl of water in the pelvic bowl
letting a pyramid of fire rotate slowly in the chest starting just below the belly button, its flames licking up to the pit of the throat
a six pointed star of smokey orbs ending from there up to the third eye
opening upward up into space
coming to rest there
then expanding space downward into air
air fanning fire
fire condensing water
water becoming earth
rooting down
a great practice to do on its own or as a preamble for going deeper
also noticed today it pairs beautifully with blackstone's realization process
dissolving the distinction between inside and outside
becoming transparent

Don't take this as me thinking about what I am saying beforehand, because I don't. I am as often surprised by the things that come out of my mouth as anyone else. Really kind of a wonder, that.

I will gladly do body doubling as a service for $8 an hr, as long as you don't mind accompanying me while I go about my day.
