Our political and economic systems are cracking and failing under the strain of colossal supersonic growth. But we can wake up. Growth is a tool. We need to use it to serve people and planet, not sacrifice ourselves and surroundings to its appetites. https://youtu.be/z-_S8ftF450?is=NEDRQdJxQcY8sF3o

Trust, and Reviewing Changes

This morning on the drive back from school drop-off my Eleven Reader’s AI voice confidently proclaimed over my car stereo: Our team members still review every change request for the system, but they now examine the intent of the change as opposed to reading every line of code.
