I have found LLM’s to be a really good thinking partner for writing. I start with a rough idea then proceed to argue for hours challenging ourselves and throwing away a lot of drafts until something materially useful emerges.

I've been thinking about the gap between analytics and action in software systems.

Most companies have dashboards and analytics tools, but someone still has to interpret the information and decide what happens next.

This article explores the concept of AI Decision Engines - systems that convert data, rules and reasoning models into operational decisions such as approvals, routing actions or recommendations.

Curious whether people see this emerging in real systems.

this 100%. I have experienced flow as I watch with awe as my fingers move on the keyboard to play chords/keys that my conscious mind could not have conjoured up. I later stop and use my conscious mind to learn the new thing that `I` just played.
