Someone can create enormous value while their manager controls the narrative around that value. Conversely, a manager can conceal structural problems because the people capable of exposing them depend on that same manager for evaluation and promotion

Avui tenia una reuniรณ llarga de moltes hores, d'aquelles en les que una escolta passiva รฉs suficient durant la major part del temps. He aprofitat el temps per implementar una sincronitzaciรณ en dues direccions entre el meu calendari i el meu sistema de notes en markdown (Emacs Howm). He fet el pla amb Argon (tinc pocs tokens al dia amb la subscripciรณ que tinc), amb feedback meu, i desprรฉs Gemini Flash l'ha implementat quasi a la primera.
Today I had a long meeting of many hours, one of those where passive listening is enough for most of the time. I took advantage of the time to implement a two-way synchronization between my calendar and my markdown note system (Emacs Howm). I made the plan with Argon (I have few tokens per day with the subscription I have), with my feedback, and then Gemini Flash implemented it almost on the first try.
De retruc, ara el meu chatbot personal ja tรฉ accรฉs a la meva agenda (no nomรฉs a les meves tasques). He modificat una mica el prompt que li envia el servei de systemd que el fa anar, amb la idea que prengui mรฉs consciรจncia d'aquest fet. Tambรฉ he modificat el briefing matinal que m'envia el chatbot. Aquest briefing contรฉ una anร lisis de les tasques que tinc durant el dia. Ara tindrร en compte tasques i agenda, aixรญ m'ajudarร a prioritzar millor.
In return, my personal chatbot now has access to my schedule (not just my tasks). I have slightly modified the prompt sent to it by the systemd service that runs it, with the idea of making it more aware of this fact. I have also modified the morning briefing that the chatbot sends me. This briefing contains an analysis of the tasks I have during the day. It will now take into account tasks and schedule, thus helping me to prioritize better.
Crec que aixรฒ m'ajudarร , perquรจ el chatbot no nomรฉs รฉs conscient de les tasques i esdeveniments que tinc, tambรฉ tรฉ accรฉs al seu context (totes les notes), inclรฒs el context personal (el meu diari) aixรญ tรฉ en compte el meu estat emocional. Aixรญ doncs, la idea รฉs planificar millor els meus dies. I si no els planifico millor, almenys delegar moltes de les menudes decisions del dia a dia al chatbot per aixรญ preservar energia per a d'altres decisions.
I think this will help me, because the chatbot is not only aware of the tasks and events I have, it also has access to their context (all the notes), including the personal context (my diary) so it takes into account my emotional state. So, the idea is to plan my days better. And if I don't plan them better, at least delegate many of the small day-to-day decisions to the chatbot so that I can preserve energy for other decisions.
Suposo que el segรผent pas per millorar el meu chatbot รฉs donar-li permรญs de lectura, i nomรฉs lectura, al correu electrรฒnic. Mรฉs que res per aquells perรญodes en els que s'acumula correu i vols que algรบ rร pidament et digui si hi ha quelcom rellevant sota la paperassa. Un LLM que tรฉ accรฉs al context de la teva feina, tasques i notes, hauria de tenir certa capacitat per saber si un e-mail รฉs rellevant o no. Perรฒ aquestes sรณn figues d'un altre paner i les deixarem per un altre dia.
I guess the next step to improve my chatbot is to give it read permission, and only read permission, to email. Especially for those periods when email is piling up and you want someone to quickly tell you if there's anything relevant under the paperwork. An LLM that has access to the context of your work, tasks, and notes should have some ability to tell if an email is relevant or not. But those are figs from another basket and we'll leave them for another day.

i personally use Outemu Silent Lime V3 Silent Tactile switches from aliexpress, and highly recommend them as they are cheap, feel awesome and are very quiet

If programming is the typing of characters into a text file, it is way worse. I think the key to learning is still doing it rather than reading it. If the question is about system design I think you can, but only if you curious and it becomes a problem that needs to be solved.
Asking "What do you think" is one of my favorite questions to learn at the moment.

creator of textlog:I do think there will be what were hard earned lessons about system design, code smell, designing data structures for the hardware you're running on, concurrency golden paths, etc., which are now with agentic dev even harder to learn and internalize. But also if you have an excellent teacher in the form of an actually-good model pair programming with you always, maybe not? Maybe a pair programming AI programming tutor would be a good Zed/vscode extension. Or product.
The best Mcp server I have as Claude Connector is Emacs running on my Homeserver. It has one tool - eval-elisp. Using it Claude can do almost anything. My top 1 pinned chat is โRun agent-start-claude-code using HotterEmacs in dir โฆโ - after that I have a ready to use remote-controlled session running on my homeserver.

This sounds like a really interesting idea. What would you say are its advantages over having the agent use the shell, write shell scripts, etc? Just your personal preference for elisp or something else?

To load a skill I literally type - โload (โdoc 'slack) and browse channel X for todayโ. The idea is my text stays English but repeating concepts are real reusable elisp functions that stay fully deterministic. (โdoc 'agent) and Claude knows how to talk to open code and pi agents.

I think reading helps quite a bit, especially writing about what youโve read, even to yourself, just so you can go through the process of having to explain something that youโre only recently familiar with. Thereโs something about that process that seems to be helpful, at least to me.

The way I consume information influences how I think. Short form content makes my thinking fragmented without a clear structure. I feel that fragmented thinking won't lead to convincing writing. And I'm trying to regain some of that lost control.

The fear of being bad at it is the only thing holding you back. I experienced something like that with playing music with others. Perhaps you could learn to lay down your critical brain during the creation process and that good/bad isn't a useful distinction until later when you're editing your work.

Makes sense to me, though I think one important (IMO) aspect of this evolutionary role is incurring liabilities. Yes, software can be created by a wider audience, but when things go awry, would they have the aptitude or contingencies in place to recover and take responsibility?
