Dude I'm so pumped for you. Seeing you bring Margin Muse into existence is exciting. Loved the accompanying video.

To answer some of your riffs. Yes I remember early "AI" code completion, obviously much has changed in the last year with being able to ask GPT how to write with more specifics in a specific language. I feel like it's a net win, more people will build hopefully build useful things. A frustration about editors now is the chrome. I want a smart blank slate. One where all my VIM keybindings work and more. both for prose and code. A treasured artifact from childhood would have to be my guitars. If I look around my studio there is almost nothing older than a decade except those guitars. My parents bought me my first one when I was 11. Still have it. changed out strings, pegs, bridges, pickups and pick guards on that thing and it still keeps going.

Congrats on being an uncle! As a parent, I just love that your dad kept a text file. I keep a note for each kid. There's probably a better way to keep records (some parents sends emails to their kid with important stories; lots of parents document every single thing on facebook or social media starting with the sonogram). I like my Note file.

I have a list of app ideas that I've never had the time to bring a prototype into form. Maybe now is the time https://twitter.com/mostlynotworkin/status/1419157006326263813?s=20

Your "one thing" epiphany reminds me of everything that boggled me about the French. The guys I surrounded myself with did so little in comparison to me and my friends in America. Once, someone told me how he's so busy he has no time to pop by for dinner. I asked what he's doing and he said he's going to a doctor's appointment at 2pm. Mind you, he had no work that day nor was the doctor's appointment far. He had one to do and everything else was more than that.

Maybe this is why the French have done such cool things over the centuries.

Inspiring as I’m in a similar profile. Design background (mechanical) so the world of cad is familiar. Know about software and can intuit what works and doesn’t but never programmed something fully. Looking forward to how your tool plays out. You’ve got plenty of folks to beta test
