Five things I did at work last week

So apparently DOGE’s “what are five things you did at work last week” is now an ongoing weekly task, which I am heartily in favor of, at least until the Trump Administration’s reforms to the executive branch are complete. The best counter-argument for this policy that I’ve heard so far comes from Cal Newport, who… Continue reading Five things I did at work last week

Late February Update

Writing with AI has proven key to… Continue reading Writing and Publishing Plans moving forward
