Months of fuddling and half-butting solved in an hour. Those tasks where I'm technical but not in that direction - easy now

- The real one: I'm an eng lead, think Head of X. That job is more about aggregating info across multiple sources, excel sheets, pdf proposals you dont want to write, how to figure out $500k for highly paid appsec engineers. Those multi-hour products of proscratination came together in minutes (goodbye PM jobs), 5/6x highly paid appsec jobs became 1-2x and a bunch of claude or ToB skills (goodbye some amount of eng staffing).

Writing is on the wall to me.
