Great stuff. Little jealous, because I'd love to work on quickly scaling such experiment seeing how many people are playing with it. Sad, but having my head too burned out by corpo bullshit and my creativity level is in the basement :( Are there any companies hiring where you can still work and not waste 90% of time on meetings and docs? Probably too many clicks and my mind is just spitting out here instead of just d…

I think your sentiment is very common, and I’ve started writing about the underlying feeling.

The answer is no, if the answer is no for you. It turns out that people fall into one of two buckets: either your job doesn’t take over your mind, or it does. And when it does, it becomes difficult to do anything else without neglecting the job.

Most jobs are 90% meetings and docs. This is roughly the definition of a job. Startups are the exception, but those will definitely take over your mind.

My creativity level has been in the basement for the last year or so. It happens. Don’t try to fight it; try to be happy. In my experience it’s the only way to restore my creativity.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

it's a tiny flask server, a bitset stored in redis, updates broadcast (too frequently! but i don't want to change it now) via websockets, and react-window to only render the checkboxes that are in view. I'll do a writeup when i finish putting out fires!

I don't understand, where is the AI + LLM part

Each time a checkbox is checked, a backend job asks ChatGPT to analyze the board state and write a script using Brainfuck that updates the checkbox states and runs it directly in production.

AI LLM cloud crypto.

All the boxes must be checked. To whoever is unchecking them, please reconsider and come over to the checked side.

That “both sides are the same” attitude is how we got ourselves into this situation in the first place.

stay out of my boxes.

the more you check, the less freedom you have, so i am in favor of leaving some boxes unchecked. especially the boxes that contain my private stuff.
