An intelligent person knows what to do.
A wise person chooses what to do.

The company I work for just gave merit raises.
Based exactly on perf. Review. Most of my employees got 3 or 3.5.
So the company gives exactly that percentage, 3% or 3.5%
I’ve never seen this method. It’s a token raise. Essentially useless.
I feel badly for my employees.

Told one of my dev teams we have a PoC to do. They were silent.
They are really good but have no clue how to do semi-structured work. They think in tickets.
Have to take a different approach.

Coders want to make it work.
Engineers want to know how it can fail, and what does it impact.

We still think of shipping code to end users.
The end users will soon be AI, or at least a human interacting with AI.
We need to think differently about deployment.

Definitely in the let compounding do the work phase.
Investments are earning more per year, even at conservative 6%, than I am allowed to contribute.
Feels good.
It’s probably false safety, but feels good.

It’s not just about money. It’s about having enough of a life to spend money on.

$500K doesn’t seem like much until you realize you can spend $1,000 500 times.

My salary seems to be stuck.
Self employed 2014-2021. Billable work came to a steady $13,200/month.
Switched to full-time with a company (two different ones)
Monthly income $13,300 since then.
I’m good if it stays there, just weird.

How we googled in the 70’s. And we built modern computing. Imagine us with AI in our hands.

What happens when the generation that built the modern computing world masters AI?
All that experience along with AI!

Used KIRO to write some payments integration. When a bug occurred, had Copilot check. It made corrections.
KIRO and Copilot were almost arguing over whose code was better.

Re created my old website using KIRO in about 30 minutes.
It took an asp.net webforms app, modernized it using Nextjs.
Deployed to an Azure Static Web App.
It configured my domain named in a hosted DNA zone in Azure in another 15 minutes

What will you do once you,
Have all the money you need
The house you want
The car you want
All your material wants are met
Who are you? What defines you?
