Build your own tools

I've built so many of my own tools this year. Very specific pieces of software. Sometimes I'm trying to understand certain workflows, sometimes I'm trying to invent new ones.

My agents make a lot of stuff in HTML, and I don't have a way to reliably design HTML. I've tried making different tools for it and I haven't cracked it quite yet. But between my workflows, my design doctrine, the live comment tool and the live review, I can approximate it quite well. I don't need to move things around as much as I need to point to exactly what needs changing. Sometimes I can just say, I don't like this, make it better.

I'm making so many things that I don't have the luxury of being too deep in any one thing at any time. I have to build a system. I have to stay at the systemic level, where the value is.
