Part Ninja, part philosopher, part geek—awesome in whole

Thought Stream — week of 27 Jul 2026

I went to the office without my phone. Saw this as an opportunity for an IoT/automation project. Can I use a sensor at my door that can alert me when I leave home without a phone?

Got a list of sensors and had a rough sketch in mind using an ESP32 for this. In passing, Gemini mentioned that the Apple Watch already has this feature. If you leave your iPhone behind and exit a certain geofenced radius, your Apple Watch will ping you with an alert. Asked whether the Google Pixel Watch has this too and got an affirmative.

Like the old saying—if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If you have an LLM, everything looks like a tantalising side project.

Quick breakdown: 🛡️ NCB = Your discount for claim-free years. 🛡️ NCB Protection = An insurance add-on that keeps your discount safe even if you make a claim. ❌ The catch = The protection add-on doesn’t transfer to a new insurer!

Pit agents against each other, and let them duke it out.

Take the analysis of one agent and ask another to critique it. You will be surprised how effective this workflow is.

I use this for code reviews all the time. Ask one agent to review the code, and have another critique the review.


When you’re young, you’re bound to make juvenile mistakes. Every generation has done it.

The unique challenge today’s youth faces is that every foolish thing they say and do in public is recorded and follows them for life.

Past generations could mess up, grow out of it, and conveniently forget the past. Not anymore. Once it hits the internet, it’s there for posterity.
