Today on LinkedIn, I described the tech industry as a bunch of coked up hamsters running faster and faster on the same giant hamster wheel in order to ship more AI features, and that was my act of resistance for the day. 🐹🎡🐹

i’m reading a piece that (among many other amazing things) demonstrates the power of a simple credit: 1. explains a concept with words of an expert 2. shows research by writer it’s not the main thing about this essay, but it stood out ❤️ sonorareview.com/2022/06/26/i...

one of the hardest parts of writing is saying no to plans that are more proveable 🥲 i think it hurts people’s feelings, but also i want to create art that evolves me in the process, and that takes cocoon time
