    Ep 62: Hidden Pitfalls of Productivity Hacks & The Future of Work

    Dave and Alex tackle the dark side of “productivity hacks” and automation. What they save you upfront can quietly cost you in maintenance, admin, and attention. Dave shares a real-world attempt to automate podcast workflows with Make.com and why he ultimately chose a done-for-you social tool. The duo explores why conceptual computer science matters more than memorizing syntax, how to survive the “first dip” in the learning curve, and the legal/IP risks of AI in bigger orgs. They also debate four-day workweeks, output vs. hours, goal-setting during messy re-orgs, and two models of organizational chaos—the “garbage can” and Dave’s “lava lamp.” They close with pragmatic advice: value moats, pick smart niches (shoutout “Mike’s weekend construction”), and don’t let to-do lists run your life.
