my response to fable was to be quiet, still and humbled. i felt a panic that i didn’t have purpose anymore. it strictly dominates me as an engineer.

i had a month of that before realising - that more than caring about “how i achieved my goals”, i just cared about “my goals” and a spring of new ideas, tasks and purpose rose up within me.

it’s fitting we should taste the emotional discomfort of obsolescence first

Users in the replies criticized fable for still being stupid at long horizon tasks where it loses the plot.

@akbirkhan shame is a sharper teacher than failure ime. the quiet after realizing its not about the logo but the work.
