✈️ Too Much in Flight, Not Enough Lift

Still in the middle of implementing Minimality. The Anvil node is done (that was the big one) but I’m deep in the backend node now, juggling more than I probably should be.

At one point today I had three full blocks in play:

  • Minimality: Anvil done, backend live, frontend not yet started
  • Blocks: all three nodes (Anvil, backend, frontend) planned, but still revising prompts and scoring
  • Nodes: mid-way through defining designs and schemas for each environment

And because I can’t kick off large batches automatically, I’ve been rotating between them manually: pasting prompts into Cursor, scoring outputs, revising with the LLM, then hopping back into a different plan context to do the same thing somewhere else. It’s time-efficient in theory, but cognitively brutal. I’m the orchestrator, queue manager, and failover logic all in one.

I can feel the cost of not having the design tooling live yet. That’s the piece I keep craving — the thing that would let me run a batch and walk away, not babysit 20 tabs and pretend it’s flow.

There’s a point where parallelism becomes friction, and I’m right at that edge.

What’s next: I just need to keep pushing ahead. I'm working towards the known goal, and at some point “Biren juggles tabs” will turn into “VF runs jobs.”
