Frontiers

GenAI for technology

GenAI for technology is the clearest professional frontier for me right now.

The models are good enough that the center of gravity is shifting. The interesting question is no longer whether they can help. It is how to wrap them in the right system so they can keep moving through real work with confidence.

That means harnesses. Sequencing. Guardrails. Feedback loops. Clear stage gates. Better retries. Better escalation. Stronger context management. The work starts to get compelling when capability becomes dependable.

A lot of attention is flowing into code generation. That makes sense. I’m drawn to the larger lifecycle around it: planning, product definition, architecture, security, testing, non-functional requirements, and the operating model that lets more of that cycle run with less friction and better judgment encoded into the flow.

That is where I think the leverage compounds. Good agents are interesting. Good systems around agents can reshape how teams build.

Beyond the screen

I keep coming back to the same instinct: I would rather not be on a screen.

The current interface model is useful and familiar, though it still asks a lot of people. Thumbs on glass. Windows. Tabs. Layers of translation between what you mean and what the machine can do. Voice is already better in some settings. There is a lot more room to go.

I’m interested in interfaces that reduce that friction.

More natural input. More direct expression of intent. Systems that understand what you are trying to do with less ceremony. Software that meets people closer to how they think instead of forcing everything through the same narrow channel.

That arc pulls me toward voice, computer use, richer orchestration, and eventually brain-computer interfaces. The long-term opportunity is bigger than convenience. It is a better relationship between human intent and machine execution.

Brains, intelligence, and human capability

The brain has been one of the deepest frontiers in my life for a long time.

Part of what fascinates me about intelligence is that it sits at the center of so much else: perception, learning, adaptation, communication, recovery, agency. Once you start pulling on that thread, a lot of other frontiers start to connect.

That is part of why I stay drawn to systems that expand what people can do. Better tools. Better interfaces. Better feedback. Better loops between intention, action, and understanding.

I’m interested in frontiers that deepen human capability, not in an abstract sense, but in the way they change what becomes possible in practice. How people work. How they learn. How they recover. How they communicate. How they operate with more leverage than they had before.

That is a deep well. I expect it to stay one for a long time.

The deeper mystery

Some frontiers pull for practical reasons. Others pull because they sit closer to the edges of reality itself.

Consciousness is one of those. Psychedelics are part of that territory. So are ancient technologies, unexplained phenomena, and the old questions that keep surviving every new era of science and engineering. There is something there. Enough to keep paying attention.

I’m interested in questions that stay open because they touch something fundamental. What intelligence is. How consciousness works. What people in earlier civilizations understood that we still don’t fully explain. Where the line sits between myth, memory, pattern, and reality.

I don’t treat that territory as content. I treat it as signal. The world still has deep mysteries in it. Staying open to them feels healthy. It sharpens curiosity. It keeps certainty in check. It widens the frame.

For me, that curiosity sits comfortably next to technical work. Both reward close observation. Both reward judgment. Both reward the willingness to follow a pattern further than surface explanations go.

What I’m looking for

I’m most energized by people and problems with some edge to them.

Fun, creative, smart people with strong instincts. People who know what good looks like. People who care about craft, move with energy, and like staying with a problem until the shape of it becomes clear.

I like builders. Researchers. Engineers. Product people. Operators. People who can move between idea and execution without losing the thread. People who can argue cleanly, sharpen each other, and keep going.

I’m especially interested in work that sits at the intersection of:

• new capability
• strong product instinct
• reusable systems
• better interfaces
• and outcomes that matter

That combination is rare enough to be worth seeking out on purpose.
