Welcome Manifesto: Flight Notes
TL;DR Flight Notes is a weekly drop unpacking how we run tiny, AI-augmented teams that punch like institutions. Expect one signal-dense dispatch every Wednesday at 0700 UTC+7; no clickbait, no recaps, no ads.
What Flight Notes is
- Field log of a live experiment: building “Imperium-style swarms”—micro-teams of specialists and autonomous agents that converge on missions, then disband.
- Blueprints you can clone tomorrow: concise, annotated SOPs, code snippets, and decision trees.
- Audit trail of our victories and dead-ends; transparency over polished PR.
What it is not
- Not a growth-hack newsletter.
- Not a VC-fundraising diary.
- Not a motivational thread-mill.
- Zero vendor sponsorships; tools are recommended solely on merit.
Why we’re building Imperium-style swarms
- Speed as strategy — capital compounds fastest where decision latency is minimal.
- Agency density — swarm units keep span-of-control ≤5, preserving autonomy without chaos.
- Optionality — tasks become “take-the-hill” functions with clear I/O; unused units dissolve, over-taxed units fork.
- AI leverage — LLM agents handle 80 % of coordination and synthesis, letting humans focus on non-fungible moves.
What readers will get
- Weekly: 1 Drop, <900 words, linked to repo or doc
- Quarterly: Retrospective dossier - metrics, post-mortems, next bets
No fluff, no mid-week “quick updates.” If we have nothing material, we ship nothing.
