I love this and the opportunities are real! I was chatting with an early-stage startup that's building and solving for the "back office" of construction, a period called "Pre-Con" where it's essentially a mix of administrative tasks, (unnecessary) managerial oversight, black box regulations (culturally and hard cover) and nuance-y voodoo that makes definition and calendaring almost impossible to get right.
Sounds very much like oil and gas.
These areas are going to become massive industries in and of themselves. I kind of can't wait. Leveling-up these parts of our society and industry makes all of us more productive humans. I mean, when will construction not be a thing? Just as soon as we stop consuming energy to get shit done.
Unfortunately, due to fracking, methane emissions increased. Methane is a far more powerful GHG than CO2. (Plus a graph showing two disconnected phenomena is misleading. It’s like saying that because the price of gold went up while that for bananas went down, there’s causality.)
Hello! Methane is the product! Natural gas IS mostly methane. It only escapes because it's a very small molecule and getting the massive pipelines not to leak even a tiny bit is the problem, not fracking. Burning the methane is what produces the energy. Fracking is what happens underground to get the formation to open up so you can get the methane to come to the surface. No fracking, no methane, no energy.

Great article. I bailed in '83. Today, I'm vibe coding. What a life
