So recently I left a comment on @Curtis Hays 's live-session thread and immediately wished I'd just made it a post. The comment: "There's a lot of software engineers and highly educated tech people in this skool community and sometimes it's hard to follow just because I don't have that same level of training and education. Curtis, similar to Jake, brought it down to my level so I can understand it on the first pass." I buried it under a thank-you, it deserved its own post, aquí estamos. I'm a second-class AI citizen in this room. Not a coder. Built my company on Excel, faith, and the kind of stubbornness my wife tolerates because I bring snacks to bed at 1 AM for her and teh baby almost done growing in her tummy. This room is mostly engineers, or so it seems. I am, statistically, an extra in this movie. Or the class clown who got let in to this Harvard because brown and affirmative action. I've made peace with that. The wife is still negotiating terms as she approaches full term. What I haven't made peace with is the vocabulary you all throw around. I scanned recent posts and comments here and ranked the words that made my brain stop and Google. The Top 3, with the analogies I wish someone had handed me on day one: Orchestration 11 hits and climbing in just a few pages of posts. @Curtis Hays named his "Duke." Cool, but what does Duke do, though? An orchestrator points the AI to the floor/department/folder it needs to go to, efficiently, quickly, efficiently. It also tells the different folders/specialists you've hired how to work well with each other. Translation for the rest of us: it's the map at the mall that says you are here, Cinnabon is over there, please proceed in an orderly fashion. No judgment. I love that map. I'd marry that map (sorry, mi amor). Architecture 22+ hits. The runaway champion. Remember the mall map from #1? That only works because somebody built the mall first. That's architecture. Ari literally calls herself a Chaos-driven Media Architect, and now I get why. Her job is deciding where every room goes before anyone moves in. For the rest of us: architecture is getting really good at organizing folders, the floor plan of your house. You decide once where the bathroom is, then you stop deciding for the next thirty years. You don't tell dinner guests "my architecture puts the bathroom upstairs." You say "bathroom's upstairs, second door on the left, jiggle the handle." Same energy.
