<p>I guess it depends on your definition of "basic minimum sport/hobby/inheritance things." The point is to put some guardrail in place, otherwise you end up spending money for years on stuff you don't see except when you move it to a different bin. It forces you to make decisions.</p>

<p>Way to have a plan and stick to it. If it's necessary, good idea to set a deadline.</p>

<p>We call these "above-ground landfills." After watching (and helping) my parents shuffle stuff around these facilities for years, we drew a hard line in our household: no external storage. If it doesn't fit in the space we live in, we're not keeping it. Great article!</p>

<p>Mostly use homegrown skills. For shared skillset at work, it's a standalone repo with a script for everyone to install the full set. For a personal collection I also use a script to sync a few upstream ones to keep everything in one place.<p>For evals I use the method outlined in the `skill-creator` skill from Anthropic.<p>In the skills, I try to use scripts, along with templates and json worksheets, as much as possible to scaffold and validate the work to make things more consistent and reliable.</p>

<p>You just pick a place and draw it. Being anti-screen and taking a recurring break are not the same thing. You don't have to go full Amish. It's like the weekend. It gives you time and space to do other things, and encourages variation in how you interact with other humans and yourself. We picked Friday evenings to Saturday afternoons, not even a full day, and have been doing it for about 10 years. Easily one of the best quality of life choices we made as a family.</p>

<p>> paragraphs that could be studied and independently<p>Yes, but after reading BGE, I felt like I had to read all his other books to really understand what he was saying (and others too, Kant, Spinoza, etc). And then re-read BGE.<p>Also Walter Kauffman's on him is very good. Working through that now.</p>

<p>Can't help but think of this I re-read recently from Nietzche:<p>> When I analyze the process that is expressed in the sentence, "I think," I find a whole series of daring assertions that would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to prove; for example, that it is <i>I</i> who think, that there must necessarily be something that thinks, that thinking is an activity and operation on the part of a being who is thought of as a cause, that there is an "ego," and, finally, that it is already determined what is to be designated by thinking—that I <i>know</i> what thinking is.</p>

<p>Just tried out Opus 4.6 to make a ground-up new version of a perennial side project: static site podcast player.<p>For this one I focused on loading speed and reducing interaction with repo. So it processes the images (converting to webp) and loads the feed list from a Gist. Also used the "frontend-design" skill. From brief to ready-to-use took about a couple hours.<p><a href="https://github.com/pglevy/typod" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pglevy/typod</a></p>

<p>> I think many people have the skills they need, or can learn them, in order to work with AI agents - they are management 101 skills.<p>I like his thinking but many professional managers are not good at management. So I'm not sure about the assumption that "many people" can easily pick this up.</p>
