  • When Using AI Leads to “Brain Fry”
    This is fascinating. I am pretty candid about making steady use of AI during my work day, but I don't generally try and multi-task with it. I could, in theory, juggle multiple work streams, pinging between agents on different projects as they report in. But that intuitively seems like madness to me – if I'm constantly context switching, I'm not going to be doing the required thinking (and there's still more than enough of it) well enough. I can use AI to make the task I'm doing faster, but I don't want to try and use it to do two tasks at once.
  • Flexibility boosts productivity, not office mandates
    I am completely unsurprised by this news. Working from home full time (I go into the office maybe once or twice a quarter) is a *huge* benefit to me, and I am disposed to a) stay with my employer and b) work hard to ensure my employer succeeds so I don't have to find a job that will make me go into the office even part-time. I know there are some people for whom it's not true, and some jobs where it helps to be in person, but I honestly don't get why employers can't just trust people to figure out their own best practice and let them get on.
