Frame Rate

We think in Fragments

We're back at mainframes and teletypes. An enormous offsite compute resource. You dial in with your client.

The same practice - get your batch jobs ready to run overnight, over the weekend. Spend the daylight hours collaboratively tuning, refining, testing.

The prep for the night to come, and for the day after, the next repeating link.

And mistakes were expensive. Something faulted, the job failed overnight. You spend the next day(s) troubleshooting.

Did it feel expensive back then? Or has the frame rate of our lives gotten so high that a span of days feels closer to eternity?

every session branching through alternate realities - do you know when you're on the 'good timeline?' Do you know when you're not?
