Just watched It's A Wonderful Life for probably the 15th time. Never tire of the traditional Christmas message that the struggle against rapacious capitalism is eternal and the solution is working together with your friends and family and not being the atomised worker only helping themselves.

My year in Cursor shows it’s mostly on side projects during the summer, tailing off in the autumn when I started using ChatGPT Codex instead.
It’s definitely the year I started putting agents to work for me though.

Teams don’t just work in straight lines.
Some thrive in tight-knit groups.
Others spark when they mix with new folks.
It’s worth stepping back and noticing where the energy really flows.
