i’m going long agency maxxing as a cultural topic and thing that more people explicitly try to optimize for

I think “agency maxing” is a resonant topic especially when you consider we have high tech sector unemployment. 

But — this unemployment has been ongoing for months, and despite the persistence of the meme there really hasn’t been a ton of breakthrough projects, any more than when we had full tech employment (or so it feels)

Watching this has actually pushed me towards a type of traditionalism. Despite the popularity of the “you can just do things meme” and market incentives subconsciously pushing towards initiative — most people don’t take it. It suggests a need to me for a structures people can rely on beyond the mere market

Agency maxing is crucial but not enough to address ongoing tech unemployment. There is a need for reliable structures beyond market incentives
