But clearly that was before LLMs captured the zeitgeist - I'd be curious to how people see it today - I'm sure a few people have parts of this (or equivalent) in their AGENT.md or similar?
I also wonder how the last part holds up:
> 80/15/5. Spend 80% of your time on low-risk/reasonable-payoff work. Spend 15% of your time on related high-risk/high-payoff work. Spend 5% of your time on things that tickle you, regardless of payoff. Teach the next generation to do your 80% job. By the time someone is ready to take over, one of your 15% experiments (or, less frequently, one of your 5% experiments) will have paid off and will become your new 80%. Repeat.
Also, reading that recent discussion on hn - it's remarkable how much LLMs and AI has changed the discourse in a short time.
