I struggle mightily to describe the collaborative nature being lost with “AI” assisted thinking partners.

Lately I’ve been putting more effort into trusting and verifying my instincts.

Imagine receiving a package while going into your home and along the way you pass a recycle bin.

For the last year I’ve been following dozens of people on various socials and RSS feeds for artificial intelligence ideas and news.

A while back I wrote about doing work I couldn’t explain while remaining confident I was getting intellectually rigorous and effective results.

The more I study systems literature and attempt to apply what I learn, the more I encounter people (including me, almost constantly) concentrating on levels of systems that are out of our direct or indirect influence.

A while back I was having a work discussion and had a strong intuition we were going further than we needed to resolve a point of tension.

My favorite design book — without question.

A short, fun book written by Paul Newman and A.E.

For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to craft a sturdy set of design principles.
