At some point we are going to have to reckon with what percentage of the Thought Leadership we get from this class of people is just drug addiction. Either a lot of credulous reporters have never listened to someone tooted out of their mind go on a monologue or they're afraid to call it out.

Two weeks ago I wrote about my development workflow for Chatto, and feedback has been fantastic. I'm particularly happy that it even made some of my AI hating friends go "okay, that's actually quite cool". We need to write more about our actual work, and in less of a preachy AI-salesperson voice.

Blog posts we used to have: “how I reduced latency across several hundred machines by 200 ms by removing two O(n)^2 hot paths” Blog posts we have now: “Here’s how to get the most out of /ultrathink in the latest release of Claudex 3.0.5”
