New to Weighty Thoughts? Start Here!

Howdy and welcome! Somehow, over the years, I ended up writing a lot of stuff. Here are some highlights for someone new:

🔧 Use AI: agents, workflows, tools

I didn’t think it was such a big deal, but reactions to my setups have ranged from “crazy—completely insane” to “we’re all cooked” to “wait, how is that possible?” And other mild reactions. Anyway, I lay out my suggested workflows and more importantly why they work.

Or, if you prefer books…

And if you happen to be looking for a good book on the topic, I never had a good answer… until now! (More seriously, it was actually a big motivation for writing it).
