My 2022 Annual Review & New Years Resolutions 2023
Hello Reader,
It’s been a month since I last sent you the Stellar Platforms Newsletter, and you can expect future issues monthly, instead of weekly. For a while.
However, I will soon be starting another monthly newsletter, on the topic of Life Balance. This will be about the relationship we have to work, and rest, and how we can break it, and how we can fix it.
Click here to get on the list for Life Balance.
I have gone through a great many changes related to this topic since I emailed you last. Shortly after my last newsletter of 2022, I had a flare of my autoimmune disorder, and I was bedridden for weeks.
This is why I am late on delivering my Annual Review. Every year since 2014, I have published an Annual Review on New Year’s Eve on my personal website, followed by New Years Resolutions on January 1.
This year, I am a month late, but I have completed my yearly introspections. (I would have been disappointed to miss Year 10!)
If you’d like to know more about the changes I have gone through recently, and how I am using these changes to guide my decisions in the future, then I invite you to read these posts:

Do you have a Big Word for this year? Have you made any resolutions?
Feel free to reply and tell me who you plan to be this year, and how your progress is going so far. I love hearing about the directions and dreams of others.

🏆 "Kimi K3 is the best performing model on http://nextjs.org/evals, ahead of Fable, reaching a comparable success rate in less time. This is the first time that an open model is ahead of all proprietary ones for this comprehensive web engineering benchmark." - Guillermo Rauch Hello Reader, The conventional wisdom has been: open-source models are 3-6 months behind frontier models. If you wanted best-in-class reasoning, you had to pay for your tokens through a Frontier model. You could pay...
🎭 "It prepares you vastly better for the future to think of models as cartoon characters of arbitrary and growing intelligence living in the cloud than it does to think of them as software or tools." - roon Hello Reader, There's been lots of releases in July 2026. First, Anthropic said after Fable 5 was (re)-released, it would go onto the API, and paid subscribers could only use it via API or usage credits (making it pay-as-you-go, instead of all-you-can-eat) after 7 July. Then, OpenAI...
⚖️ "Companies need to turn their workflows, domain knowledge, and accumulated judgment into AI systems that improve with each use. The companies that build this early will have an advantage that is hard to replicate, regardless of any new individual model capability." - Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft Hello Reader, The years I spent as a marketing automation strategist taught me to see the work move through a workflow, end-to-end. I find myself using those skills more frequently, as I hatch...
