Maybe it’s the sleep deprivation or shared kindness or existential state of the world…
But telling inquiring folks that you’re here for a funeral really comes with some upgrades.

AI was supposed to make us more efficient.
Instead, it’s fragmenting our workflows, bloating our calendars, and burning out high performers.
I wrote about the false promise of AI productivity and why we’re actually working harder than ever:

AI promised efficiency. Instead, it’s making us work harder.
AI tools were supposed to free up our time—but they’re increasing our cognitive load and making us less productive. Here’s what’s really happening (and how to use them without burning out).

During the global panini, like many, I left SF and moved to KCMO.
Bestie and I watched every film, made tons of chili, and talked about bad relationships (have known them since grad school in NYC).
Now years later, they are getting married and I couldn't be more excited.
