I run a tiny design studio @wireframe.

🇬🇧
Some personal news: After a short period at @Lovable, I’ve decided to move on. I’m grateful for the opportunity. They’re a talented bunch, and I have no doubt they’ll continue to do amazing things. As for me, I’m going to take things slowly for a few weeks to recharge before looking for my next role. If you’d like to chat, my DMs are open. ❤️

I’m seriously considering starting a property management company purely to put the one that manages my properties out of business 😂 It really shouldn’t take three business days to get back to me, only to tell me you still haven’t managed to get in touch with the tenants. How can people be so bad as something that should literally take 5 mins.

Also, I've been feeding Instinct all the information it should know about my properties. If everything goes well, I'll be able to manage everything myself soon.

the moat is literally just caring about your work and being proud of your output and holy shit it does not seem to apply to 99% of people

I don't think enough is said about how much of a scam Stamp Duty is in the UK.

Just used Instinct to reconcile all of my expenses for my trading and property businesses. The future is here.

This is a beautiful indictment of where we currently are. Well said, Ryo! 👏
efficiency, productivity, speed we keep worshipping these words like they are what we live for ship faster merge more manage more agents compress every loop remove every pause turn every hour into output but what is the point of endless production if there is no time left to think deeply? not react not optimize not summarize not clear the queue think to sit with a question long enough that your real intention starts to appear to find the purpose underneath the motion to ask whether the thing being accelerated should exist at all ai could be a new canvas a way to make strange things personal things impossible things tools, worlds, poems, games, interfaces, films, languages, rituals things that let more people touch the shape of their own imagination but instead, so much of it is becoming slop factories more content more funnels more tickets more fake work pretending to be value you can merge 2000 prs you can manage 500 agents you can wake up to dashboards proving that the machine kept moving while you slept but what is the point if you only sleep 5 hours a day? what is the point if you stop talking to other humans? stop learning about the past? stop playing? stop wandering? stop being surprised? what is the point if your whole life becomes optimizing the system that is consuming you? speed is not meaning scale is not wisdom automation is not freedom if it only makes everyone run faster and where are we running? toward what? a world where every person becomes a manager of machines, and every machine produces more things no one had the time to truly want? the danger is not that ai makes us lazy the danger is that ai makes us endlessly busy that it gives us infinite production before we have found intention infinite execution before we have developed taste infinite motion before we have learned how to be still maybe the real frontier is not more speed maybe it is discernment knowing what not to make knowing when to stop knowing when the most productive thing is to sleep, read history, call a friend, play with a cat, walk without tracking it, or stare at the ceiling until the false urgency dissolves tools should give us more life not turn life into a tool if ai is going to matter, it should not just help us produce more it should help us become more human more imaginative more free otherwise, it’s the same old factory just without humans
