idea for issue 42 – upstream pricing in the SaaS + LLM era:

  • taylorism
  • llms both increasing and decreasing value of knowledge work simultaneously
  • a developer is not "working on a project", the project is being passed through the developer
    • these two things are different
    • the same problem can be solved in many ways by different devs
    • price your software as an empire
    • leverage code's abstraction and composability to "world build"
  • technology is upstream of possibility
    • heist genre = magical realism of computers, phones, cameras
    • sci-fi genre = imaginable + unreachable rules
    • real world = all jobs are downstream of their purpose and the technologies they give affordance to
