### Updates

Another week sitting with the uncertainty of layoffs at work. It's a strange headspace to operate in. You can't fully commit to long-term projects. But I also can't just stop. So we show up and do the work in front of us.

On the flip side, I've been investing a huge amount of time this week working on agentic workflows with my team. Genuinely exciting stuff that is also full of traps. Process redesign sounds straightforward until you're knee-deep in it and realising that the thing you're trying to automate was never as simple as you thought. [Andrej Karpathy's framing of this](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mattrutherford%5Fandrej-karpathy-from-vibe-coding-to-agentic-share-7458552105688141824--RPV?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) landed at the right time.

Last weekend I put together a new DJ mix for the radio in the UK - you can listen to all my mixes up to date [here on mixcloud.](https://www.mixcloud.com/rutherfordmatt/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)

No quiz again this week. The break continues, we start again on Wednesday night with Season 19 of the Online Quiz League. Ready to get back into it.

Watched [Man on Fire (season 1) on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/ie/title/81645170?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk). A remake of the Denzel Washington film, this time set in Brazil with a lot of scenes in Portuguese. The action sequences are excellent. If you liked the original, this is a different enough take to be worth your time.

**Reading**. Loves Executioner by Irvin Yalom - a recommendation from a friend, Therapy case studies written like short stories. Not light, but hard to put down. 

### Recommended Music

After last weeks shortened band name, this week I've been enjoying a mash-up portmanteau of two bands who are working together to create something very interesting.

Nine Inch Noize is a collaboration between Trent Reznors Nine Inch Nails, and the DJ known as Boyz Noize for a dancefloor/rave interpretation of tracks from NiN. 

I went to see Nine Inch Nails in Dublin last year, and Boyz Noize were part of the show, as the warm-up act, but also in a collaborative mini-set - the changes to the tracks made them more danceable and urgent. 

This isn't easy, relaxing listening - but there are some almighty bangers on here. 

Highly Recommended.
