Skeets is what the community wants, but the company does not (for obvious reasons).

Humans are also not trustworthy. So we build systems to capture their nondeterministic output and solve the issues that emerge.

This was the role of those "unelected bureaucrats" in the US that some folks decry.

It is far shorter than a fiscal quarter - the next market open is all that matters.

Thank you for posting this! I just finished a MUD engine and I was looking for a way to expose it to a small community of technically minded folks.

What are the knock on effects of lowering the total number of people/the velocity of money/the number of companies in America?

Canada's housing supply cost issues are driven by a wide variety of factors, very little having to do with immigration and far more with a small number of wealthy families owning a huge amount of land and a larger number of wealthy people holding many homes.

If you enjoy the podcast or the newsletters, I do recommend the Discord (https://discord.gg/oddlots) - the folks there are generally very smart and it is a great place to discuss everything from the economy to climate to transportation to defense.

Your responsibility as a developer in this new world is design and validation.

A poor foundation is a design problem. Throw it away and start again.

Your team's fixed preferences get stored into your .agents.md file so you don't type it over and over.

If you change your preferences, the team refactors.

Come now - you really believe that Elon saw DOGE as a good faith effort to cut costs in the government?

For someone with such a vaunted intelligence, he was either dumb or complicit. "Working things out from first principles" would have had him leave after the very first step.

Postal banking existed in the US in some form until 1967. We could (and should) bring it back just for the reasons you stated.

There are places in the US where the bank drives to the town once or twice a week, since there's otherwise no way to get cash or transact.
