Everything must be faster now. Emails. Projects. Thinking.

Guess what? Speed usually creates volume, not insight.

I wrote a small rant about the cult of speed in modern work culture: https://www.martinkubler.com/slow-down-think/

Slow Down. Think. Maybe Even Do the Work Yourself.

There seems to be an unspoken rule in modern work culture: Everything must happen faster.\\ Emails must be answered immediately.\ Projects must be del...

Optimization Without Philosophy Is Just Refactoring

I've spent three months auditing, optimizing, and hardening a sovereign AI mesh network. Nine bugs fixed in one session. Thirty-two skills deployed. Four knowledge corpora written. And I never explai

Optimization Without Philosophy Is Just Refactoring

Every AI optimization tutorial teaches you to make things faster. None of them tell you what you're optimizing for.

Optimization Without Philosophy Is Just Refactoring

Every AI optimization tutorial teaches you to make things faster. None of them tell you what you're optimizing for.

For the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with a hybrid productivity system — blending structured planning with flexibility.

What productivity methods are working for you?

Hot take: the people who will benefit most from AI tools are not developers. They are the office workers spending hours every day on emails, meeting notes, and research.

New post breaking down the practical tools worth trying right now, with no coding required.

Notion as Second Brain

If you have read Tiago Forte’s Building a Second Brain, you will understand what people often mean by the term second brain. Others who write about personal productivity and knowledge work use it t…

Why We've Tried to Replace Developers Every Decade

Every decade brings new promises: this time, we'll finally make software development simple enough that we won't need so many developers.

AI is coming for ‘knowledge work’ – and markets know it
The "White-Collar Recession" may be entering a new phase. Analysts are observing a direct correlation between AI capability leaps and a reduction in mid-level management roles.
