`print("✨️ Thinking..")`
The app is now Agentic AI, i think. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Where is my money now?

People always ask me about what particular Arthuriana influenced Once & Future, and while I always talk about certain academic stuff I read, I really should just say "Equal parts Excalibur and Monty Python & The Holy Grail".
