Finished watching the new season of Severance but also wrapped up Yellowstone this week.

Severance: continues to be a mystery wrapped in an enigma although the secrets were unveiled throughout the course of this second season and I’m really curious where they take it.

Yellowstone: despite the numerous, unfortunate drama behind the scenes, I’m glad they were able to wrap it up, and look forward to catching up on the spinoffs.

This was very good, well executed, and fairly tight! Obviously ended up having the perfect incentive to watch this… #Conclave

Love that I can count you as a friend @danigiacopelli:

As the world leans further into AI and as traditional coding jobs become extinct, the only real differentiator or ‘moat’ left for businesses will be either 1) building an actual community and/or 2) creating things you can touch and feel. That’s the one thing AI can’t replicate and probably/hopefully never will.

Lille, you were magnificent this weekend: your architecture, hospitality, and food culture, we loved it all!

This was our first time, but we will definitely be back!

Work thoughts: AI Agents in Early 2025

4/15/25

Recently created 2 AI Agents to help me in my job — a great exercise for me, considering I’m in a customer-facing role and non-technical position.

Basically, one focuses on our vertical, and one is more horizontal, by contrast. Doing so is a real timesaver, while not breaching any confidentiality or confidential information. Really powerful stuff that is already paying dividens and making me better at my job…

Is #Severance the most Twin Peaks-Ian show since Twin Peaks?

The misogynists of Gilead say “Blessed be the fruit”; ours say “Grab ’em by the pussy.” Still, the sadism of the show’s fictional world finds ample comparisons in our own.

Humility, prudence, and honesty are not just nice virtues to have—they are practical tools that produce good outcomes. When you replace them with greed, lust, hypocrisy, and dishonesty, terrible things happen.

Took the little one to her very first basketball game today! And enjoyed a nice end-of-day at home with some gorgeous blooms on the way, along with golden light in the lounge :)

Been stuck on something for work the past few days — something minor but couldn’t wrap my head around it.

Took some time to formulate it to my AI overlords, with the right context and suddenly things are cleared up. I love using it to help me gain clarity — feels kinda super power-ish
