Two months! That's sometimes a magical milestone when the weight and sleep starts to click. Hoping for ya!

Oooof that's so tough. I've been so lucky to score sleepy babies but I paid for it the first time with more night shenanigans in the toddler years. Fingers crossed lolsob.

I can't shake all the parallels between my career right now and my infant going through leaps lol WE'RE JUST IN THE FUSSY PHASE BEFORE A SKILL, EVERYONE 🫠😅🤞🏻

This felt underway with that "return to the wild" moment a few years back. The boon for laziness and the perception of an easy button is clashing with our desire to actually connect in an authentic way. We have to deliberately stop or keep all this code crunch in its proper place.

Atlassian put out their State of Product review and essentially highlighted this ordeal. How teams are implementing and shipping faster but customers aren't catching the value sooner. We're still at the same value problem *but faster* lol

Yeah I keep thinking baseline regulations might help a bit here but it's like putting a bucket of water on a forest fire. I like reading the parallels though like how Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company started in 1866 to establish preventative measures and frameworks. Maybe?!

I'm struggling with that aspect, too. I'd be way more interested if the outputs were consistent but they're not so it's a constant paranoia despite all the "speed" lolsob It's not lost on me that this stuff is catnip to people that like to delegate and forget 🫠

Kristen Seversky @kr1573n.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I've caught myself recognizing the grief in it all. And the privilege of ever enjoying it at a point. I had a lot of fun most of the way thru and whew it sucks that it might be something to just reflect on

Kristen Seversky @kr1573n.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Do you think it will 🫠🫠🫠 i feel like a great counterbalance moment is coming (whether a bubble pop or some other wild shift as a response) but I'm not sure if it takes a big enough bite out of energy 🥲

"OpenAI's own version log, not an outside peer reviewer, caught a 24-hour cascade from one sign error, which is the clearest signal yet that leaders should treat the 722-paper drop as drafts to audit rather than results to cite." Oh, like *it always should be*

Had to go find my set 🥹 RIP to an icon

The Margaret Hamilton LEGO set from years ago that also had Mae Jemison, Sally Ride, and Nancy G Roman. The Hamilton set is her next to the set of books like the iconic photo.

There's a part of me that's grateful for the shattering of my disillusionment, but I still feel a bit of a burden in ever knowing a fun era of this realm. And sure, I question if I missed all the bullshit in my earlier career but I swear we made shit that people actually used/liked back then 😆

Kristen Seversky @kr1573n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I keep hoping there's a dimension we can get to that I just can't see right now. Because so much of my career and identity is rigged to stuff that's about to get automated and accepted as "GOOD NUFF" thanks to ongoing enshittification. Buuuut so tech goes! You'll stay creative though!

Been watching this since she got to the W with her rabid fans in tow. At first, I gave the grace of rookie year chaos and figured her team opted for "saying less is best" but too many of her white peers understood the privilege and necessity of speaking up. She lost me over time with that silence

Kristen Seversky @kr1573n.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Hah! Fun discovery at least haha and yeah, definitely trying to keep tabs on these lil workarounds since we're clearly never getting options

This was the other one that was forming my "ooo maybe a new list" thought. While I get this is still an AI-pushing company, I am definitely clocking the in-fighting between those that are more diligent with their products than the "throw everything at the wall" crews. bonusly.com/post/why-bon...

At Bonusly, we work to build tools that help people feel valued at work. That’s why our engineering team decided to move all engineers off the tool.

I feel a new list brewing. One that highlights all the companies and tools that are shifting away from the "AI IS INEVITABLE" energy. We just want to use stuff when we need it?

kinda breathtaking to watch the U.S. media establishment lose its shit about one maybe-plague death in a Russian backwater town with 3,887 confirmed measles cases reported in the United States, SO FAR, in 2026

This is pretty ahistorical actually. Just because what's going on now is ESPECIALLY toxic & corrupt doesn't mean "AI" as an ideology was ever okay. See: notaidoc.com See: faculty.washington.edu/ebender/pape... >>

I think we could find the relief we seek if we stopped accepting their terms and started forcing them to accept ours. And we have to think BIG.

I reeeeeeeeeeally struggle with these stories. I know so many people in this industry that would ride off into the sunset with a bot, smiling ear to ear for knowing they don't have to interact with a human. And yet we have these "epiphanies" about humans and culture? Nah. Choices were made.
