Of course, the crazy dreams of the Dotcom bubble really did happen, and the AI maximalists might be right - it may be that LLMs can do the whole thing. LLMs may be able to swallow most or all of existing software, and they may be able to automate vast new classes of task that were never in software before, just by themselves and with whole new layers of product, company and enterprise sales built around them. This might be the first S-Curve in tech history that turns out to be a J-Curve. But not this year.

TOOL #1: Describe What You See A more useful way to praise is to resist the impulse to evaluate and instead to simply describe what you see (or hear or notice with any of your five senses). Instead of, “That’s a beautiful picture!” Try, “I see green lines that are zooming up and down the page. And look how they connect all these red shapes!” Instead of, “Good job!” Try, “I see you picked up all the cars and all the books, and you even picked up the dirty socks! I see bare floor. That was a big job.”
