What it is
A short, regular dispatch on the design and engineering of AI-augmented work, written from inside the practice of shipping it. The voice is satirical. The premise is not. Most weeks the piece is one observation that took a year of work to earn, compressed into a paragraph that can be read in two minutes.
Recurring threads
- Schrödinger’s Employee. The organizational theatre of being told you are both irreplaceable and on a roadmap to be replaced.
- The Deprecation Notice. What an honest changelog for a job category would look like.
- Circular Financing Loops. When the AI doing your job is paid for out of the budget that used to pay you to do it.
- Fake Error Reports. Field notes from production AI that confidently produces wrong answers and tells you the system worked perfectly.
Who reads it
People building these tools (designers, PMs, engineers in applied AI) and people whose jobs are being reshaped by them (operators, analysts, knowledge workers in regulated industries). The newsletter assumes both audiences are in the room at the same time and writes for that.
What it isn’t
Not a hype letter. Not a doom letter. Not a content-marketing vehicle for an AI startup. The premise depends on the writer having a day job in the practice; the moment that stops being true, the newsletter loses standing to make the jokes it makes.
