AI reframing isn’t just everywhere. It’s expected.
Pithy sentences delivering insights. And dopamine.
These grammatically questionable one-liners have no problem telling you that not only are your current mental models embarrassingly insufficient, but that there is a wiser instruction-set to load into your intellectual RAM to process some topic du jour. It’s direct. It’s unapologetic. It’s exhausting. And it’s grown on me. How I hate that it has.

The world has changed since my last blog post about 3.5 years ago.
- ChatGPT was born.
An AI Pandora’s Box opened wide. - My daughter aged by 50%.
She now rejects the small snow shovel in favour of mine. - I find myself as another Agile Coach looking for the next job.
This world is… familiar. - I’ve taught myself to code and deploy smart contracts.
This world is… fascinating.
While it’s easy to feel deflated in another ‘familiar’ spell, I’ve managed to feel inspired with a new and ‘fascinating’ magic. Plus, my two engineering degrees revel in not just coordinating teams of coders, but now actually being a coder myself!
Thus, once again… I am… a Scrum Of One. Itself, familiar. And fascinating.
So does this mean I am scrapping my Agilist career? Not at all.
I’m still networking for, and applying to, flavours of Scrum Master & Agile Coach roles. What more I can bring to the table, though, is some experience in software development, and I’d argue product management, too: after all, I’ve had to reconcile a vision & a roadmap as I prioritize how I explore tokenization for native onchain art.
(If that last phrase sounds like buzzword bingo to you, I get it: I’m honestly still figuring out how to phrase what I’m doing, and OMG am I appreciating how important it is to contextualize for different audiences. Especially when it comes to crypto stuff.)
This end of the calendar year has offered a moment of reflection, where I realize… I enjoy writing and meeting 1-on-1 with people, so I intend to indeed pick this blog back up, and start podcasting my reconnections with Agilist friends. It is more on my plate, but it’s how I want to evolve, for now.
…
Shifting focus isn’t quitting. It’s strategic.
Learning a new skill is not scrapping, but evolving.
Le sigh. I don’t need freakin’ AI to wordsmith conclusive thoughts for me. (Y’sure about that, meat-bag?)
Here’s to your evolution.
Rock on, everypeoples.
