Sometimes I’ll be in the studio mixing something and get hit with the realization that I really get to do this, and it’s fun, and I get to do it with my best friends. It’s pretty awesome. (I just finished mixing the new #EyeNewDark record and it’s amazing. Jill is an incredibly gifted songwriter)

And invariably it’s a file whose functions are understood by only a few harried accountants. No LLM knows “what’s on Steve’s old G: drive” And even if it does, it doesn’t know “why Steve inserted a blank column T in 2022 that breaks every calculation when removed.”

I’ve worked at several F500’s now and it’s always the same. Fancy new tools and intelligent assistants and yet the keys to understanding the financial health of the entire org is “Payables032025_1.xlsx” in a shared folder named “Steve’s Files.” (Steve having left the company 3 years ago)

I did an interview and talked about a formative artist (whose name I probably mispronounce)
