But one challenge I've discovered is the rate at which I'm ingesting these new ideas. I've read and added close to 500 new atomic notes into my vault over the past two weeks.
Many of these notes have been insightful, new ideas related to teams, culture, leadership, strategy, resilience, complexity, socio-technical systems...
There are so many concepts that I'm worried about how practical it will be to recall much of them in my daily work.
I'm thinking that I need ways to simplify and codify.
I've been collecting academic papers and journal articles for years that I never quite had the desire to read through.
But using Hermes Agent's llm-wiki skill and Obsidian, I was able to extract dozens of atomic notes from those PDFs, which I've been integrating into my vault.
After I learn the key principles of a paper, it becomes easier for me to spend more time with it, skimming it for diagrams and key points.
The Internet has become so bad. Whenever I visit websites on my phone, it's always an ad-riddled mess.
And increasingly, whenever I visit sites on my computer, I see this stupid thing.
I'm currently reading Tom Gilb's paper titled Evolutionary Delivery versus the "Waterfall Model," which was published in 1985!

Seeing GitHub promoting itself as a tool for families to manage shared household tasks is a sign that every business is being affected by AI and Agents and is trying to find its place.
For GitHub, it's especially funny because Microsoft already provides at least four other tools for sharing tasks.

The more I see platforms like Notion and Slack promote their built-in AI agents and the ability to connect them to other services, the more I wonder if it all can't just be replaced by AI Agents and plain text files.
Before, I thought the "SaaS-pocalypse" was because of building instead of buying. But maybe it's more about replacing many of them altogether.
hyprwhspr is a fantastic, minimal speech-to-text app for Linux that lets you easily run the latest models locally, including Cohere Transcribe.
I set up Glance today, and it got me thinking that a self-hosted app that acts like my personal "feed for everything" makes so much sense. It emphasizes the importance of RSS, which the Internet can use more of.
It's a bit of a shame that Glance's last update was July 2025.
