The article about the “Re-Interviews” at Proton made me remember this blogpost from 18 july 2026. I don’t think is had been posted here before.

Am I having a stroke or is this hard to read?
Reading this while working for a division that pivoted to provide interfaces for agentic workflows, only to discover that only ten users had ever touched the products we made for agents, only to pivot again to support for agentic workflows, which has a lot of competition because every company has to do something agentic now and there’s only like four things you can do in that space, is bracing.
I sometimes write like that when I shouldn’t write.
Made sense to me but it definitely could use another draft. Just adding some punctuation would help because it’s a long phrase and the punchline blends into one of the sentences, but here’s the same message with minor tweaks and punctuation:
Reading this while working for a division that pivoted twice — first to providing interfaces for agentic workflows (only to discover that only ten users had ever touched the products we made for agents), only to pivot again to support for agentic workflows (which has a lot of competition because every company has to do something agentic now and there’s only like four things you can do in that space) — is bracing.
Yeah maybe I’m not AI pill-ed enough for that, I dunno.
Yes, poorly written brain slurry…
Any coherent question about how it’s going, what the goal is, who is using it, constitutes an inadvertent attack on the chain of command responsible for the work because there are no good answers to anything.
Literally made me shutter. Describes my daily existence to a tee.
. The net result is that everyone has learned very quickly to praise executives on their visionary AI prowess, or they will be gunned down in the proverbial streets.
Once again, the people making the decisions are idiots.
