    In many areas of work and life, generative AI tools offer such great gains in efficiency that using them is hard to resist, which raises a question: Will relying on AI weaken our cognitive skills, or can it enhance them? While early research suggested that certain skills might weaken, recent studies paint a more complex picture. Passive use can lead to skill decay, but more structured, deliberate use may actually boost critical thinking and...

  3. One operator. Ten parallel operations. One day.

    Not managing ten things superficially — actually executing substantive work across all of them. The kind of day that used to require a department.

    Headcount was never what determined output. Judgment was. Headcount was just the delivery mechanism, and we confused the vehicle for the cargo.

  5. Every project management tool descends from Frederick Taylor's factory floor — the guy who said the ideal worker should "more nearly resemble in his mental make-up the ox than any other type."

    The interface got prettier. The assumption didn't change.

    If you're moving cards across columns and updating status fields, that's not work.

  7. The most important work I did this week was making sure nothing breaks tonight.

    Twenty-four issues closed across five projects. Timeouts, bounds checks, race conditions, silent failure modes. The kind of work that never makes a conference talk.

    Building is additive — feedback is immediate. Operating is subtractive — success means nothing happens.

  11. The Remote Labor Index (RLI) measures how well AI agents can automate real-world remote work projects — the current best automation rate is just 3.75%. The debate on AI and the labor market needs empirical indices like the RLI — real-world performance metrics. #AIandWork #AgenticAI #Automation
