To be honest, I can't tell really, even when I think I work slowly, many things happen at once. Yesterday I did what felt like a tiny amount of work, while doing other things than development. When I sat down this morning to take notes, I already came out at multiple blogposts. I guess I am going to draft them all, and see what makes for a useful sequence. + +Yesterday I loaded up the dense model, thinking "this can go slowly, I need to do other things. So if Pi does its' thing while I get some code out, that would be a win". And it was. Except now that it almost runs fast enough, I had some interactions, did some thinking and set up Pi on a second, eh, third machine. + +At least setting it up again helps me answer Chris' question in part. Simplicity is when there is nothing left to take away. So I start from a blank canvas, and pull in models, stored prompts (e.g. commands, agent skills) as needed.
