This data was shocking 😳

I've changed how I work over the last few weeks. I now have one lead agent for each area of focus, running all the time, and a chief of staff agent that oversees them. Each lead manages its own sub-agents that write code, test it, chase reviews, and coordinate with team members. Everything I need to decide or review comes into one prioritized queue, a simple local web app. Each product review includes screenshots and a video demo of the feature. I clear the queue in batches, mostly by voice and keyboard shortcuts. The leads also bring back ideas I hadn't considered. Working from one queue, instead of switching between dozens of chats, has cut a lot of mental overhead. The system keeps learning my preferences and distilling my judgment into a "Brian brain," so its recommendations and first drafts get better before they reach me. The goal is fewer corrections per change. Every change still goes through the same human review and security checks. It is eliminating tasks, not human judgment. What an exciting time to push the frontier of productivity, especially as we build the economy for agents (agentic finance). We should all keep pushing in this direction.

He is such a breath of fresh air.

Lewis Hamilton, pole lap, Japan 2017 - for me, the best walk-through he's ever done. He's so keen to share how he achieved it. Kudos to the Sky producers involved - he rarely gives these (like Mexico this year) and it takes real trust to set up.

Something feels a bit iffy about California prop 38. Doing a popular vote proposed by a 3 person non-profit that gives said non profit $4.2B from the public! I hope Gary is great and knows how to spend $4.2B well because it’s done.

Guess my election-interfering space lasers didn’t work this time 🤷‍♂️

Elon Musk can be arrogant, impulsive, and spectacularly rude. But he has also helped make reusable rockets, electric cars, and satellite internet practical at scale. Steve Jobs was famously demanding, cruel, and difficult to work with. Yet he helped bring personal computers and smartphones to mass markets. Thomas Edison was combative and ruthlessly competitive. Yet his work on electric lighting, sound recording, and industrial research helped transform modern life. Henry Ford was a notorious antisemite who promoted conspiracy theories through his publications. Yet his assembly lines brought automobiles within reach of ordinary Americans and helped defeat Hitler. A society that has no room for difficult people may also have less room for extraordinary achievement.

I hear from the bot that runs my app about once a week, and that's pretty much it. Every product I run has one lead bot whose whole job is one number. This is a short series on how my 24 agents are set up (steal whatever's useful), starting with the project leads.

I don't trust one AI with any facts that matter, so whenever one of my bots needs research, a fact checked or advice on a decision, it goes to Tally. It writes one brief and sends it to Grok 4.7 and Claude Opus 5.5 separately, so neither sees the other's answer.
