• 🟢 MORE: Definitions: what "customer" means
• 🟢 MORE: Constraints: e.g. "don't reclassify loans"
• 🟢 MORE: Interactions: how to verify, coordinate, delegate, ...
• 🔴 LESS: Creating ontologies: agents can do that.
• 🔴 LESS: Completeness and rigor: agents tolerate uncertainty.
• 🔴 LESS: Proprietary: agents can reverse-engineer.

• Test web pages with screenshots (for layout, overlaps, contrast) AND CDP (for interactions, navigation) before finalizing
• Prefer icon libraries over unicode/emoji icons.

• Saparmurat Niyazov (Turkmenistan) renamed the months of the year and days of the week after himself and his mother. He built a towering, gold-plated statue of himself in the capital that rotated so it would always face the sun. He also banned lip-syncing at concerts, outlawed gold teeth, and banished dogs from the capital because he found their smell unappealing.
• Idi Amin (Uganda) declared himself the "Uncrowned King of Scotland" and sent baffling, unsolicited telegrams to world leaders - advising Richard Nixon to recover from Watergate, or offering food aid to a struggling Britain.
• François "Papa Doc" Duvalier (Haiti) reportedly ordered all black dogs in Haiti to be put to death and claimed his personal Vodou curse was responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
• Francisco Macías Nguema (Equatorial Guinea) banned the word "intellectual", banned the use of lubricants in the power plant (claiming his magic would keep it running, which promptly broke the generators), and stored the nation's remaining foreign currency under his bed.
• Kim Jong-il (North Korea) claimed he invented the hamburger (calling it "double bread with meat") and shot 11 holes-in-one his first time playing golf.
• Donald Trump (United States) used late-night tweets to announce major policy shifts and fire his own cabinet members. He altered an official government hurricane map with a Sharpie to match a previous erroneous statement, and publicly mused during a press briefing about the injection of household disinfectants as a medical treatment.

• Custom styles via block ::: {custom-style="Custom Style Name"}
• Track changes via [inserted text]{.insertion author="Name" date="2026-04-20T12:00:00Z"} and [deleted text]{.deletion author="Name"}
• Page breaks via \newpage (a LaTeX command that Pandoc supports in Markdown)
• CSS styles via ![Alt Text](image.png){width="5.5in" height="3in"}

• Knowing what you want is a valuable skill.
• Wanting things others will also want is valuable.
• Learn good software management. It is similar to managing agents.

• Capabilities / functionality
• Components: Services, modules, major abstractions.
• Interactions: Data flow, API calls, events.
• Interfaces: Function signatures, types, schemas.

• Prefer accessing memory sequentially. CPU access to RAM and cache is optimized for this.
• Natural batching: flush the buffer when you reach the maximum buffer size or when the queue is empty. This avoids buffers waiting unnecessarily.

• script -c fish session.log starts a new fish shell and logs it to session.log.
• script -c "uv run app.py" -q -a app.log will append to app.log, suppressing "Script started..." and "Script done..." messages.
• script --timing=time.txt session.log logs the timing, which you can replay with scriptreplay --timing=time.txt session.log. Similar to asciinema.
• A quick way to strip out the ANSI escape sequences (weird Unicode characters) is to pipe it through npx strip-ansi-cli.

# ALT + . cycles through the last arguments typed
mv file.{txt,md}    # Move file.txt to file.md
ls |& tee file.txt  # Pipe both stdout and stderr to tee

• AI services has 3 markets. Automatable work: vanishes in 2 years. Human-in-the-loop work: sustains. Judgement-driven: grows in importance.
• YC: don’t sell access to a tool for $50 a month, use the AI yourself and sell the finished work for $5,000.
• Sell output. Price on outcome. Sell to business, not IT.
• Sell accountability: proven success, with your guarantee.
• Sell authenticity: a brand story representing uniqueness, character, ... or whatever... something people respect.

• Taalas is etching LLMs into the chip. Llama 8b runs at 17,000 tok/s (H200 is at 230 tok/s).
• d-Matrix is moving compute into SRAM memory chips. 30,000 tok/s for Llama 70b. Cerebras and MatX are similar: memory-oriented.
• FuriosaAI minimizes data movement. Groq and Sambanova are similar.
• But in the long run, commodity technology usually beats integrated stacks.

• Use git bisect to find when this bug was introduced: ...
• Find and recover my code that does ...
• Sort out this git mess for me.
• Rewrite history removing ...
• Split the last commit into multiple commits grouped logically.
• Start a new repo at ... and build just this module ... based on ... with a similar commit history copying the author and commit dates.

• REQ-001 (Event): When the user drags a task card to a different column, the system shall update the task status to match the destination column.
• REQ-002 (State): While the application is offline, the system shall store task updates in local storage.
• REQ-003 (Event): When the application reconnects, the system shall synchronize locally stored updates with the server.
• REQ-004 (Unwanted): If synchronization conflicts occur, then the system shall display a resolution dialog to the user.

• Create the outer boundary of all apartments with swimming pools in a city
• Extract the shape of all lakes across the years to find out how they're changing.

• When lights are dimmed people speak softer. So, dimming lights reduces sound levels in noisy offices.
• Rather than reduce the size of shampoo sachets (which customers and business both hate), include 2 shampoos in one sachet, tearable in the middle.
• Price saches at 95p with a 5p deposit for the sachet - which rag-pickers can collect and return to the retailer.
• People think of stains like wounds on cloth. So a "stain band-aid" where you stick a strip, and remove it after 5 min to remove the stain, is catchy.
• A mechanical wind-up fish that stirs the water in the bucket while clothes are soaking speeds up the process.

• Commit publicly. Put your name on the output.
• Commit to process (or narrowly defined output) rather than outcome.
• Optimize with data, code, checklists, workflows, culture, etc.

• Understand the problem (from different perspectives)
• Plan (with different mental models)
• Execute (the easy bit)
• Look back (post-mortem, retrospectives, etc.)

• It'll over-complicate answers and front-end design unless you tell it exactly how you want it
• It'll keep checking with you or give up (e.g. on errors) unless you tell it otherwise, e.g. with checklists or rules
