Meanwhile I'm constantly updating (and checking out what's new) 3 GUI frontends for AI agents, 5 code editors with agent plugins, opened about 50 tabs + about 5 new every day (that I'm afraid to look at) with github repos and search results for skills, MCPs and advice threads (I know these will become obsolete in about 2 weeks or so). I also sent myself some 30 emails with articles that I won't read.

I'm 54 and while I consider myself reasonably up-to-date (aside from Swift modern concurrency, it's just too much for me) this train feels just too fast for me, I kinda wish it rolled a bit slower (but then again, probably a lot of people felt this before).

@xjki I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote by Herbert Simon: Discussing the new abundance of information that printing, mass media and computers begat, he noted that “wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes.” He was referring to attention, now the most precious commodity of all.
