VSCode
I will make a bet. Every knowledge worker will soon all be using a VSCode like app. Because otherwise, they will be replaced by one who does. Imagine every worker connected to the company data, controlling an agent that can also act on his desktop. The working app becomes: A. Files displayed in the middle of the screen B. Chat window (either left or right of the screen) C. Folder directory (either left or right of the screen) That's just VSCode. Not saying it will be literally VSCode used, but a similar app for sure. After some discussions with some very smart people, I was convinced that VSCode is the desktop app of the future.

I do miss my files sometimes, but I've noticed more and more I trust the results of a decent AI model (not even top model) running in my HERDR terminal muxer, from a well architected and discussed PRD document from NotebookLM research. This discussion stage I take more and more time now typically 2-3 days before actually starting the build, new versions or expansion comes from a next PRD (kinda like a Mission file). Most of times takes less than 5 minutes to build even the biggest infrastructures because you already discussed many alternatives, implications and future features etc. So if I really need to review a file i'ts just Sublime for highlighting. Theres some projects now I havn't even looked at the folders except for the /docs for dropping new PRD/mission files.
ICM Collaboration & Co-creation/invention nice but
I love the idea of collaborative ICM's and co-creation for the greater good, but there are some serious concerns imho: - We cant eat Github stars (thats why I'm on GitLab and local GIT) - Not everybody plays nice and honors the Good Intent and Licenses and shares like others - AI certainly doesn't care about licenses because they ingest and don't copy (github-copilot), make it their own and create a new Co-work or tooling - In the past we always had community/opensource editions next to commercial editions to protect community inputs, now we have REA - The maker community I'm part of, we share machine designs and collaborate on development and education, but we are all broke (at least no unicorns). - We have to sketch the "new world order of co-creation" before we start feeding some company's AI again... and yes we have the chance to do it with AI since we have all helped train it. - Sorry for preaching .. I know i'm at least 5 years too late ... so just call it venting

@Pascal Pollack Its general approach in the Maker Community is to use the Creative Commons (CC) licensing and our goal is/has always been commoditize knowledge so to protect against big-tech scooping it up, but since AI is not copying but learning and replicating all protection has just left the building I'm afraid. We technically have no protection of any sort... running open weight models locally maybe.
Are MD Files dead?
I just saw a YouTube video that discussed the death of MD Files, arguing that HTML files are the better way to go. Wanted to get the community ‘s thoughts on this and how it would impact ICM approach, if at all. Thanks

HTML is surely best for styled outputs i noticed...ask any AI to generate a slide deck for you in HTML and powerpoint, youll be shocked... But I dont see any benefit in styling the HTML for input (unless its only the textual structure like chapters etc H1..3, but then MD is at least 30% less in markups)
Multiplayer AI: one ICM, a whole team
Using ICM alone makes one person fast. Using it as a shared knowledge base makes a whole team fast and consistent. I call it an organized organisation 😂 The hard part isn't the AI, it's conflict management. I enforce four steps in code, not prompts: - Resolve conflicts: Git or a shared drive, depending on the case - Permissions and visibility: who edits instructions vs. who edits data - Handle stale files: give new information dates and context - Full auditability: every request is logged My setup today: 7 people on community-based research. I'm the maintainer (rules). Everyone else is a member (data). They can suggest rules, but I approve them. The AI even flags broken rules to me: "he wants to do this but can't, check it out". Still unsolved: stale files. Expiry dates or events help, but assigning them when a file is created is the hard part. For now, expired files stay put, the AI traces linked files to infer why, and asks me when unsure. Every failure updates the rules. If you're building team ICMs, I'd love to compare notes. Technical or not, message me. 🤝

Most stale files happen when we do "updated versions" of files, so practically version management with loose files. Git is too hefty for handling this, so we just make a copy. We need some in-between where you store updates in some manifest (keeping new and old together or at least linked). Wasn't "stale files" a Clief Notes challenge some weeks ago??
I have a son, and new video
My son was born this week, Azrael is his name. Creation is a wild thing, I decided to spend some time (the little time I have) writing with just my own two hands as a celebration of the human life. No ai used in the script or writing, I hope y'all enjoy it. If you do please like and share and comment on YouTube.
