Hey @FluidVoiceApp love your work - is there anyway I can toggle loading/unloading of the FluidIntelligence model? Often I just need raw dictation, and sometimes I want the additional post-dictation-ai

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.
Well, I have good news.

Paths Open vs. Closed
Black Lines = paths closed
Green Lines = paths open
We spend too much time focusing on what might have been (black) and not enough time focusing on what may be (green).

Software engineering: 50% understanding requirements, 40% complexity management, 9% debugging, 1% solving "interesting" algorithmic problems.
You'll enjoy software engineering a whole lot more if you instead think of the first 99% as the interesting part.

Your managerial investment priorities:
Retention > Onboarding > Hiring
This is in contrast to popular wisdom that hiring is the most important thing you should work on
