  1. It's a Tool
    It's a Person
    It's a Hypervigilance Problem

    The tech industry's insistence on distinguishing between "soft skills" — caring for people — and "hard skills" — engineering rigor — is a reflection of the Cybernetics split itself. First-order thinking framed as "hard skills." Second-order thinking framed as "soft skills." This distinction, based on felt sense alone, does not hold under epistemic pressure. Neither does it within the causality-driven epistemology of the tech industry itself, in which only measurable impact is real, or as Silicon Valley likes to put it: #MoveFastAndBreakThings

    Imagine Margaret Hamilton had built NASA's Apollo 11 flight computer with that mindset. History would remember a failed moon landing and dead astronauts. "Hard skills" and "soft skills" are two sides of the same coin. The care is the code and the code is the care. Hamilton — the woman who coined the term "software engineering" — understood this. Silicon Valley chose to forget.

    We're watching the wine glass break in real time. 🍷

  2. New section of headspace dropped.

    Due to boredom and longing, I have crafted a maximalist listening room in headspace where I can put my favorite music on and tune this utter bathroom of a world out. One of us may attempt to draw it later. My fucking hell woman of a headmate has invaded it since I’m in front and is now literally chopping up several cassette tapes in there. She says she’s “making magic”, but I’m scared, frankly.

    Whoever let Allēna have access to music production knowledge in the first place has no idea what they unleashed upon this world and should be blocked immediately.

    Anyway, I have things to do. We’ll see what accursed things this woman concocts…
