Feels like I’m playing infrastructure golf with my personal AWS setup. I will burn so many tokens to save $2 per mo

Dots are maybe the most opaque in terms of how they work. Why is everything hidden?

I am NOT giving Zuck my data, but I will take his tokens. Same goes for instinct. Like count down to their first huge data breach. So I’ve rigged up a system where they can email my trusted personal agent and ask for info or request actions like putting stuff on my calendar

Universities are going to be reinvented around token allocation

Coded and Claude Code are NOT systems thinkers. Spending a lot of time cleaning up things that flow from that. They naturally want to pile fixes on fixes when the proper thing to do is change the design

Dots are cool but I worry they will abstract away too much engineering. E.g. I often notice that my coding agent is working inefficiently and therefore needs some new tool or skill. I have system instructions and retrospective skills to look out for this but it doesn’t work reliably. Solution may be another loop…

I find myself increasing asking models “what’s in the design space for this problem?”

Token allocation is capital allocation

This is good news for me because I burned thru my pro weekly credits in a day. Kinda miss the 5 hour limits tbh
Ladies and gentlemen... start... your... ENGINES. We are almost Tuesday and I promised a reset for Tuesday. Among some other things. See you soon.
