The lifecycle of governments clostly approximates the lifecycle of a star.
I've described ths several times over the years, to several people. It was originally a story I conceived that described the lifecycle of a company, but realized quickly that it applies to nearly any organization, and most especially government.
I thought to write it up for sharing so others can see what I see, but just now decided to ask grok to do it for me.
Grok nails it. I'm impressed.
Text in the next post in case the grok link is paywalled.

Just saw a guy in the gym.
He's going to die from a heart attack. Maybe soon.
You know it when you see it.
Don't be that guy.

The dark truth about my time at the Hotel Bel Air
I was instructed to not talk about it, but I must come clean

What if I want to use the RAM to do things that are prohibited by the terms of service of whoever is running the datacenter?
This headline makes the false assumption that the ACA is not the cause of the premiums being out of control.
It is, in fact, the foundational cause of them being out of control. It's in the design.
Another trip to Home Depot, another disappointment.
This time, they didn't have short nipples.
How do you not have short nipples?
Shame.
🤖 Made with AI
Customer just changed a few things. This means a bit of re-engineering and about 2 weeks of redeploying and testing if I do it all by hand.
I'm using Grok bot on this project. This means I'll get it done in 2 days. Maybe faster.
The customer is paying for my expertise and the value of the change, not my time. I bill flat rate, and they're still getting my expertise driving the effort.
How would you price this work?
Tell me in the comments.
To all the fine people whom I've never met asking me if I need developers...
How's it going these day? AI eating your lunch?
Couldn't happen to a more deserving crowd.
The *real* developers are doing just fine tho.
Bisbee bound. A few unexpected clouds along the way, adding some texture to the trip.
1 hour in the air is always better than 4 in the car.
2:40PM on a Thursday. Just wrapping up some things from a client meeting so I can ship the final hand-off documents. I'm 10 minutes out from being done. Windows wants to reboot. Required. Not asking; Telling.
You have 30 seconds to comply.
Fuck you, @Microsoft
I'd like to personally thank our politicians from all sides for turning my phone into yet another unusable communication device.
Every single call and text is political crap.
A ton of work today. Pre-production testing can be a pain in the ass.
But I'm at the gym.
Still working, tho. I'm managing my grok @bot on my phone and the testing is going well.
