I have managed to shed the Giant GreenField Engineering Project I got assigned to in addition to my Manage This Important Team and Do these Important Maintenance Projects and Also Level Up Everybody jobs.

I have so much spare brainpower right now I’m shocked. I am getting so much random stuff done, while in December I felt constantly underwater.

I am _on top of_ my management paperwork.

Person who runs eng all-hands to me: “I had to file an Asana ticket with marketing to move forward with the video.”

Me: “This company is strange.”

Yes. Correct. This is the way. Just use Postgres. Stop overthinking it.

Today was a good day.

I shout at the walls. The cats flee. David asks me what the fuck I am shouting about.

I am told video of my talk *will* be posted.

As a recruiting aid. Apparently.

Apparently I am recruiting fodder. Or something. Put me on posters. Dumpy middle-aged women are programmer magnets. My bad nethack jokes bring all the nerds to the yard.

Current epic that will be read by at most five (5) people now at 42K words. Amount of research done for this: oh good lord that's staggering: 10x.

Personal satisfaction levels: off the charts.

Webvan did not make any money.
Kozmo.com cratered.

This did not mean that universal networking of computers was a bad idea, nor did it mean that grocery delivery was a bad idea. Both concepts survived the initial stupidities and implosion.

The wastes of money that were the first versions of these companies were irrelevant to the eventual successful variations, and the successful *important concept* that could not be controlled.

The *universally networked computers* concept was the big one. The yeah woo we can deliver groceries concept was a nice little capitalistic by-product.

I am going to predict right now, in a way that will make people hate me, that the neural-net-like-analogue of brain behavior that is LLMs is a concept that is worthwhile, important, revolution-creating, and going to survive the popping of the economic bubble created by VC stupidity and the destruction of whatever stupid companies get created by the likes of stupid people like saltman.

This is what will last; this is what will be worth while. Hold onto this concept, because it's going to be what is still here in five years, even if you hate it today.

IMO Anthropic is running away with this race right now; Google might pull out a mediocre second place. I’m not sure it's worth discussing third place.

I also don't have any idea what's going to happen in two months, so I am at peace with being wrong. Anyway…

I gave my for-Friday talk at my empty office today and it came in 5 minutes over, so I trimmed a couple of slides. I'll haul in some talking and it’ll probably come in on time. One more rehearsal should probably tell me.

For some reason I really want to land this one.
