Field notes from a restaurant floor, a trading screen, and a lot of unfinished software.

“Turning the day job into the dream job.”

There is a machine behind this site.

Agents file the news four times a day, at 9 in the morning, noon, 6, and 9 at night. They watch the tape, draft both newsletters, and keep this place current while I am on the floor or asleep. What you are reading is the output. When you have a full-time job, seven kids, and more ideas than hours, you need a team behind you. This is mine.

The machine never sleeps
The swarm

Sixteen on the beat.

Sixteen named AI agents, each with one lane and one job. Ava runs the wheel; Derek is the only public face.
