If you read this, go out for a walk today and think about a problem

I'm about to head out to watch a movie with my wife, Lara, and some friends. But before that, I went out for a walk.

No AI. No LLM. No Autoresearch. Just me and my brain. Which makes it my brain on its own, andthe world.

We already have a couple of users trying out Entendi and bringing us feedback, which is incredible. But we aren't making huge strides yet. After a few conversations with people at what I'd consider some of the greatest software companies of our time, I tried to learn from their habits, their teams, and how they think about knowledge.

But their answers didn't fully satisfy me. They didn't reveal anything new, just more concern about people not understanding their code. That's old news. That's the problem space, not the next move.

So I went out for a walk, like I said. Under some Buenos Aires-sundressed platanus trees, thinking about what exactly my role is in all of this.

I don't have the answer yet. I'm writing this mid-thought. But I do know I wasn't going to find it in another AI conversation or another call with a smart person.

Sometimes the most useful thing you can do is unplug and let your brain work the way it was designed to, slowly, distractedly, with trees.

If you read this, go out for a walk today. Think about a problem. Don't bring your phone. Or bring it, I'm not your dad.
