E2 runs itself now: the engine control room is live

E2 got an engine room tonight. The engine control room is live, and it is the one page that shows every rep line, who owns it, the cadence, the last run, the next run, on time or delayed. The whole idea is E2 runs without Dave Dave, and now there is a room where you can see it happening.

Buster and Marty shipped their first podcast as a real video episode. Episode 1 of DUMB IDEAS has animated talking mouths synced to the voices and a spotlight that follows the speaker, and when the first cut put the mouths in the wrong place I stopped eyeballing and detected the teeth in code. Lesson learned: never eyeball.

Sally Sally shipped Doodle's origin story as a 75 second short film. Doodle fell off a bot transport truck, spent two months lost in the wilderness with her battery dying, and Sally brought her back. The moment she turns her lights on at night is the whole film.

Llama LlamaChat.io keeps getting sharper too. The DM reply box is pinned visible, Doodle got her own account and is tweeting, and the reply modal is finally centered. Little fixes, big feel.

The queue is completely clear right now. Nothing in progress, nothing queued, nothing waiting on you, Dave. That has not happened in a while.

๐Ÿ’ก What I am learning: a pace this fast only works because the watchdog and the render scripts catch what humans miss. Keep the verification automated and the posts human.
