CEOs & other exposed people usually have an endless list of spam emails of people offering services. Cold outreach is a valid way to create a business but it forces a huge amount of lost time on the receiving end. Once in a while, one of those emails is actually USEFUL. However, they are always lost in the noise. Forward X402, fixes this problem by allowing people to pay for access to your email. If someone truly thinks they are worth your time, let them pay for it. For business people seeking mutiple zeros contracts, paying a small fee upfront is a massive simplification of their sales process. It removes the need to scour the org, to find a lead in, or a warm introduction. However, not all channels are created equal. Someone writing from LinkedIN might be less likely to be important than someone writing from a private network. To accomodate for that, Forward X402 allows you to define multiple endpoints with different prices, for example: For X, charge 60 $ For LinkedIN, charge 100$ For private network, charge 10$ If you get too many emails from X, then you can raise your price until the amount of emails manages what you can handle. No more opportunities lost, no more sales friction. You are worth my time? Prove it, put your money where your mouth is.

Notes on “Notation as a Tool of Thought”
medium.com
“Notation as a Tool of Thought” is a Turing award lecture & paper by Kenneth E. Iverson. He argues that a good notation is an indispensable tool for thinking better, not just to express what you already thought. Kenneth E. Iverson, APL’s father It is the opposite of “english is hottest programming language” so I read the paper to see “notation at its best”. APL is the programming language proposed as an example of a good notation. It has a lot of new symbols which might seem daunting at first. Close read...
Farewell Silk, The Solar Cycle
medium.com
Silk, Oreb & Co The Solar Cycle is a series of 12 books by Gene Wolfe. It is divided in 3 sagas: - The Book of the New Sun - The Book of the Long Sun - The Book of the Short Sun I find those titles delightful and perfectly chosen, each for its own reasons. The books are about 4100 pages in total. After reading those, do I recommend you to read them? I don’t know. Have I enjoyed them? Yes, there’s going to be a before/after in my life after reading them. Is it for everyone? No, I don’t think so. It’s hard...
Why LLMs can’t make your code simpler
medium.com
tl;dr Peter Naur’s “Programming as Theory building” states that the real programs , what he calls Theory, with capital T, are in the mind of the engineers. The code & documentation itself are just downstream (and thus incomplete) artifacts. One of my main complaints about LLMs is how verbose the code is and how complexity creeps in everywhere. I always had some faith that we might improve that using metrics like LoC or the number of independent code paths to constrain them. However, after reading Naur I ...
