Weeknotes vol. 15: Professional admin dashboard maker and Mac app polisher
It was another short summer week but I was able to get quite a bit done. I spent the entirety of Monday turning my garage into a work of art, but Tuesday through Thursday was all about Braindrop.
Until this week the production database has been a bit of a black hole and I needed a dashboard to perform simple administrative tasks and to track a few metrics for the beta program. Of course Rails made this easy (and fun!).
Speaking of the beta program, we have over 100 sign-ups so far and I’m hoping to start opening things up early next week. I’ll shoot an email with instructions once it’s ready.
Another big task for the week was polishing the Mac app. One of my favorite features is quick-add, which allows you to capture your thoughts while you’re doing something else, without getting out of the zone.
Quite often I’ll be working on something and my mind will be thinking about something I need to do later, or I will spot something on the screen that I need to fix but I don’t want to jump down that rabbit hole quite yet because I’m working on something else. That’s what quick add is for. Type the shortcut, write what you want down and get back to work.
Rumor has it that there will be a way to do this in Raycast as well.
That’s all for this week.

Workslop: worse but more
In November 1955, a naval historian named C. Northcote Parkinson opened [a satirical essay in The Economist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law) with a line that outlasted everything else he wrote. Work expands to fill the time available for its completion. His example was an elderly lady who spent an entire day posting a single card to her niece, a task a busy person would finish in three minutes on the way to lunch.Parkinson’s law now has a sequel, and it is worse. Work no longer expands to fill the time. It expands to fill the capacity. The effort of producing a thing used to …

Foomers vs doomers: skilled incompetence and the AI tug of war
foom-er, noun, an ironic malapropism playing on doomerism (AGI fatalists) and FOMO (hustle bros), used to describe techno-optimists. Reflects the onomatopoeic "slowly, then all at once" nature of exponential growth: “AI go foom.”A speaker at one of the many AI conferences that have sprung up like garments on your "clothes chair" (not clean, but not dirty enough to wash) describes the miracles of agent-assisted coding. Year-long rewrites finished in a fortnight, backlogs cleared, and hard problems dissolved by brilliant prompting and clever code harnesses. The audience of true believers laps i…

Forward Deployed Engineers: AI’s hired guns
> The last mile of AI deployment is a real person, sitting in your office, learning your business, writing your plumbing, and making things work reliably. That will remain human for the foreseeable future.Google Trends shows a 5,000% increase in searches for "AI forward-deployed engineer" over the past five years. The curve stays flat from 2021 through mid-2024, then turns vertical.

The sorting machine: recruitment’s race to the bottom
> The sorting machine was built to cope with a genuine problem. Where it went wrong was in mistaking efficiency for effectiveness, in assuming that the ability to process resumes fast meant the ability to evaluate candidates well. The fix is not a smarter machine but a more modest one, paired with humans who are given the time, the tools, and the structured information to do what they were always better at.If you've been involved in any part of the recruitment process, the last 18 months have been dispiriting, to say the least. Hiring became a closed loop. Employers adopted applicant tracking…

Weighing smoke: why GEO dashboards are mostly useless
> The promise of a tool that gives you similar search visibility to the pre-agent world is understandably seductive. But before you eagerly hand over your cash for a platform, consider whether an afternoon's work a month might be a more cost-effective alternative.I recently wrote about [the GEO chimera](https://betterthangood.xyz/blog/geo-practice-versus-snake-oil/), the cottage industry promising to optimise your brand into AI answers. My argument was that the levers being sold mostly did not exist. Another part of the industry is selling gauges rather than levers. Estimates of the spend on …
