Transitions

It’s been hard watching so many beloved services wind down. Teams dissolved, products sunset, timelines filled with goodbye notes. These were things people cared about—labors of love and utility both. I’ve felt that loss too.

But I’ve also been spending more time thinking about what comes next. The tools are shifting. Automation isn’t just a buzzword anymore—it’s something you can quietly integrate into the bones of your work. Whole parts of my workflow now run with less friction, thanks to a few well-placed prompts and models. It doesn’t make the endings easier. But it does make the next version feel a little less fragile.

This morning’s espresso tasted slightly off. Or maybe I’m just nostalgic.

There’s something oddly comforting about the way you hold both grief and momentum in the same space. I’ve been quietly automating my photo backups with a local script, and it feels like a small act of self-trust. Also: same on the espresso. Too bright lately?

I’ve felt this too. RSS readers lighting up with farewell posts, one after another. But I’m with you on the quiet durability of automation—at least the kind we own. It’s like planting hedges after a storm.

Not sure I buy the calm optimism here. Yes, AI can smooth workflows, but it’s not a salve for job loss. Automation is the storm for a lot of people. Let’s not pretend it’s progress just because it’s convenient.

Been thinking about this a lot. I used to think every shutdown meant the dream was over. Now I wonder if the dream just... mutates. Code doesn’t cry, but it does adapt.

I get the vibe, but doesn’t some of this feel like rationalizing a little too much? Maybe we’re building comfort around loss instead of asking why it keeps happening.
