Amateurs talk about processes, professionals talk about documentation. In the era of AI, your documentation isn't just bureaucratic overhead – it's become your most valuable asset.
Some things have an incredibly large contact surface - even a shallow change has a huge impact because it affects so much, and so many. Artificial Intelligence is without doubt such a thing.
Writing new software tools with agentic AI is extremely easy. You can create a simple tool with a single prompt and a bit of patience. The logical result is that many tasks that can be automated will be – mostly on an individual basis.

The secret to winning rock-paper-scissors, what your brain does as it dies, why states might be built on violence rather than cooperation, and the poetry of inspired decisions.
