I've invested so much in dark factory patterns, sets of skills, rust based orchestration and routing, allium spec-driven intents, deterministic oracles with mutation-kill. I feel the same way you do. The quality has gone up and up, but the cognitive load has as well. I work on very complex sprawling systems, with loads of integration points and signals/emits, hard AI problems. I've invested in twin DGX Sparks and M4 Max MBP, large screens. I move faster but I do tire. I find the first 4 hours each day are by best. By 4pm it's downhill, lol
thanks for sharing! If we're honest with ourselves anything after 4PM wasn't really... effetive work? for me that was either pushing the limits or I'd do the less challenging mechanical work more. The focused-creative part would one-way-or-another happen in the first half of the day.

Maybe it's just the new way of working 🤷♂️
Great post, thank you!
Thanks Alex, feedback matters more than you can guess 🙏
Again loved the honesty in the post. Glad to read the book was useful, thank you! :)
