I always find interesting the extend people go to fix and repair stuff. This is one of its true examples! Columbine was the first aircraft to bear the Air Force One designation and it's amazing to see Shea's personal mission to restore it. I'm no military fan, don't get me wrong, but one thing is repairing and bringing back that old motorcycle, another is an entire plane - in particular, this historical artefact. Any project that has true passion in it, will always succeed, but this might be one of those really complex due to its high costs of restoration, in particular when you want to make it complaint with modern safety.

Just to keep on topic and because August is slow and the best time to repair stuff - and maybe you're inspired by now to restore some old stuff around the house ... But first how about fixing things? :) Like in relationships, repairing is better than replacing. We all have the consumerist mindset of constant novelty, we live in a tech world, I know, but this article highlights the difficulty but necessity of enduring hardships, it suggests tradition and repair over constant innovation and change - which it all applies to tech too.

this hit quite home for me :) I think frequent job changes often suggest a liquid career due to the ability to adapt, market oneself, and seize opportunities quickly - that's what I'be been doing throughout my career. But, over time, if these moves involve diverse roles or industries, your career might develop illiquid characteristics, requiring you to leverage unique experiences and niche skills, or even developed what you think you didn't had. For me was working for a communication agency, that was one of the best - out of the box - experiences that moved me to be an evangelist now. The key to success here lies in balancing the predictability and security of liquid careers with the higher potential rewards of an illiquid path. You must be strategic, ensuring that each move builds on the previous one, adding value and positioning them well for the future.

It's been a dense newsletter so far, right? Uff! So lets focus on games now :) I've always been a fan of SimCity and Diablo, which influenced me for decades. The unique 30 degree look creates a 3D alike experience, without being actually 3D. That's what games back then were, they would give you an illusion and you'll fill the rest in your head :) Whilst isometric projection is seen as nostalgic, some modern games prefer full 3D for more flexibility - which is ok, but for the nostalgic fans like me, there's nothing like this perspective.

This is quite interesting, to see how medicine and drugs are being helped by AI. There was another interesting article about Ozempic and the need for clinical data related to obesity. We can see now that AI significantly reduces the time needed for drug discovery, making the process faster than traditional methods. It also lowers the financial burden of bringing new drugs to market and, this is important, allows for the development of drugs tailored to individual genetic profiles. But its effectiveness relies heavily on the quality and quantity of data, which may not always be available. And of course, there are ethical issues regarding data privacy and the potential for AI to reinforce biases in drug development. It's a brand new world now :)
