Turning 44 today. Yep, the perfect iOS button size. I know I'm a geek, but that's what makes me human. AI can amplify that, but it can't replace it. A few things I've realized: - I've never enjoyed work more. - I spend way more time with my kids. - My agents handle the work I hate. - Agents are upgrading from assistants to managers and advisors. They have subagents. I'm becoming an architect of agents. Like in The Matrix. - I can finally be productive while traveling in Japan. Taxi rides, long lines, awkwardly waiting for stuff... I just talk to Codex via my iPhone. - I can build design tools I could only dream of before. It often starts with a single open-ended prompt, then my agents explore ideas, spawn the best into threads, self-verify, and bring me screenshots and videos to review. - Design is still my moat. Every place I've lived, every button I've pressed, every mistake, every failure, every win has shaped how I see the world. Agents can't manufacture that perspective. - Intuition is still my biggest advantage. It lets me make thousands of decisions effortlessly and keeps my agents unblocked. - My team is more independent than ever. They're building their own tools, growing their own YouTube channels and X accounts, and running fleets of agents. They'll surpass me one day, and I'll know I did my job. - Everything is moving insanely fast. Instead of trying to keep up, I ask my agents to learn it first, then teach me. It feels like Neo downloading kung fu. Having the time of my life.
