Bezo Scent was entering his 800’th year.
What he has seen. The power he accumulated. The wealth. He was right to start that xompany so long ago, to start colonising other planets.
Earth was simply not big enough for him. The ability to declare his state “sovereign” under a flag of convenience certainly helped.
Making the spaceships also helped. It’s not like anyone was able to get a “peacekeeping” force into space without his say so.
Space was the wild west, he was the sheriff, mayor and outlaw rolled into one, and he was dammed if he was going to let death get in his way. Life was not enough however, sex was not enough. He needed power and he needed to wield it over someone else. He needed a nemesis.

This is pretty close to copyright infringement no?
Amazing technology, but…. Fuck sake like it’s a knock off!
Aaand here is same monkey beast arguing with a patent attorney!
And there I leave it, because as ever AI can’t do context well.
On the other hand, a different name for “prompt engineer” is “writer”.
I’m sitting at a table of people I mostly don’t know, and it’s gradually became clear that almost everyone here is “I work in IT”.
I try not to say “I work in IT”, fail, then try to describe what I actually do, and fail again. It doesn’t sit well with me. Hosted on AWS blah. If I said Carpenter, Architect etc etc, you might know what I do, or have an idea anyway. Shit, even “Software engineer” makes some sense.
So, my goal is to be a writer. Creating gives a good feeling, and is challenging in a different way. It’s not problem solving, it’s not fixing the world’s problems, or even understanding them; it’s creating something that, at best, is a mirror held up to the world. Maybe a funhouse mirror. I have written all my life, on and off, but have never being…. a Writer.
Listening to “slip of the keyboard” by Terry Pratchett; He always started a new book as soon as his last was finished, because if he wasn’t writing, then calling himself a writer was cheating.
So I’m flipping this over and saying as long as I’m writing…. I’m a writer.
Just a quick note, try playing some music in the background next time if you are in a zoom meeting (or teams or whatever). You can usually adjust the volume down low compared to the zoom audio. People on the call can’t here it on your headset, and it can really make the meeting nicer.
I like a bit of chill electro to add a bit of background noise. Try a cinematic score to liven up a boring meeting a bit 🙂

Driving along a winding road, up the side of a hill.
It is deepening dusk, and the road curves upwards to the right.
The mountain side has some trees (pines) and short grass. It’s cold, maybe close to freezing.
The car is cold, the windscreen is still a small bit fogged.
The surface of the road changes to closely packed upturned feet, with little faces on the sole (just below the toes). They are all staring at you without speaking, as your tires loose grip on the shiny upturned flesh. Your car skids, careens across the road, and out over the edge of the abyss.
As the car starts tipping end over end, rapidly approaching the ground, all you can think of is the road made of upturned feet.

This goes out to all the chocolate mouses in the building….. Hold onn!

In order to keep myself aware of same, make this little change to the .tmux file so you always have a visual queue that you are in prod:
