Weeknotes vol. 4: Coding like it’s the 80s (with stickers)
This week saw major progress with both the web based application and the marketing website. Granted, I did find the Code Like It’s the 80s playlist by JetBrains on Spotify which has been quite the productivity booster.
Making thought capturing as simple as it can be while ensuring the data is ready to be processed in an easy yet useful way later isn’t an easy task. And as I get deeper into processing thoughts into useful things, the decisions to ensure simplicity are getting harder and harder. It’s a puzzle but it’s a fun puzzle, and this week was very puzzly.
(I guess that’s why most software gets so bloated.)
On the design front Phil got to a good place with the marketing website and I’m ready to launch it yesterday. It captures Braindrop perfectly.
For the first time in 18 years my work day is spent worry-free with no other responsibility other than build this little software company at my pace and how I want. On one hand, this is a scenario that I wouldn’t have ever imaged given the road it took to get here, and on the other hand, it wouldn’t hurt to manufacture some urgency! As I write these weekly notes I’m realizing that the pace could be turned up a few notches.
Next week will see some hard deadlines added to the calendar.
Oh, and I ordered a limited supply of coasters from Sticker Mule! If you want to spice up your desk, join our email list and I’ll be sending to the first 100 subscribers.

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 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 …
