Hey there! This blog post is essentially a treasure trove of useful references and resources. We explore LEGO building instructions, discuss the law of diminishing returns, and share ways to improve your attention span and productivity. I even delve into my own experience of building a local LLM voice assistant to customize my smart home. The debate on whether CTOs should code is also scrutinized. Plus, don’t miss out on the amazing switches from Inovelli!

• LEGO Building Instructions:
  A dump of all available building instruction booklet PDFs from the LEGO website (As of March 2023)
• The Law of Diminishing Returns: How To Do More With Less:
  After a certain point, increasing one input reduces efficiency. Here’s how you can use the law of diminishing returns to do more with less:
• How to improve attention span and productivity amid distractions:
  In this article, we’ll discuss cutting-edge techniques and tools that can help you enhance attention span and productivity despite abundant distractions.
• Building a fully local LLM voice assistant to control my smart home:
  I’ve had my days with Siri and Google Assistant. While they have the ability to control your devices, they cannot be customized and inherently rely on cloud services. In hopes of learning something new and having something cool I could use in my life, I decided I want better.
• Inovelli:
  I need to keep this around. These look like pretty amazing switches.
• Those five spare hours each week.:
  One of the recurring debates about senior engineering leadership roles is whether Chief Technology Officers should actively write code. There are a lot of strongly held positions, from “Real CTOs code.” at one end of the spectrum, to “Low ego managers know they contribute more by focusing on leadership work rather than coding.” There are, of course, adherents at every point between those two extremes. It’s hard to take these arguments too seriously, because these values correlate so strongly with holders’ identities: folks who believe they are strong programmers argue that CTOs must code, and people who don’t feel comfortable writing software take the opposite view.
