* [Flounder Mode - Colossus][4]
|
||
|
||
> I asked Kelly about the tradeoffs of focusing on a single thing if you want to be great (which is what I had been getting at before). “Greatness is overrated,” he said, and I perked up. “It’s a form of extremism, and it comes with extreme vices that I have no interest in. Steve Jobs was a jerk. Bob Dylan is a jerk.”
|

|
||
* [DIYR][5]
|
||
|
||
> Celebrates the spirit of independence, creativity, and resourcefulness. The acronym DIYR stands for 'Do It Yourself Revolution', promoting reflection and new forms of production, combining simplicity and longevity, ethics and aesthetics.

||
* [Naz Hamid • Just One Good Thing][6]
|
||
|
||
> In the last year, a mindset shift and approach appeared as a very simple idea: just do one thing, that I want to do today.
|
||
|
||
* [Contra Ptacek's Terrible Article On AI — Ludicity][7]
|
||
|
||
> Let me be extremely clear — I think this essay sucks and it's wild to me that it achieved any level of popularity, and anyone that thinks that it does not predominantly consist of shoddy thinking and trash-tier ethics has been bamboozled by the false air of mature even-handedness, or by the fact that Ptacek is a good writer.

||
* [Full-breadth Developers | justin․searls․co][9]
|
||
|
||
> The software industry is at an inflection point unlike anything in its brief history. Generative AI is all anyone can talk about. It has rendered entire product categories obsolete and upended the job market. With any economic change of this magnitude, there are bound to be winners and losers. So far, it sure looks like full-breadth developers—people with both technical and product capabilities—stand to gain as clear winners.
