The Monthly Mentor is an easy to skim bullet point list of things I enjoyed this month, usually a personal update and something to: read, watch, and buy.

This is the Monthly(ish) Mentor of November 2026
[ Personal ] - I’ve been noticing that having AI agents at my beck and call only increases the amount of work I’m doing. I’m having so much fun, but also realising that now that being able to implement any and all of my ideas is a double-edged sword. That stacked on top of expecting a baby in March and preparing the house and our lives for that means the past months and the coming ones are and will be a little overwhelming.
[Read] Just bury your trash - I have a visceral bad reaction to landfills. After reading this article over, I’m kind of on board with them. It turns out all the concerns that I have are things that we have solved with technology, and the alternatives in many cases are worse. It’s one of those situations where your intuition leads you astray. (link)
[Watch 00:34] What They’re Not Telling You About Data Centers - It’s interesting watching the United States populace having such a visceral reaction against AI data centers. Living in the Netherlands, this is not so much of a thing, even though a lot of the American concerns always leak across the ocean. This video is a good rundown of what the issues are and what the issues aren’t. (link)
[Buy] Maicura GO - I had been meaning to buy a new massage gun that’s a bit more portable and USB-C chargeable, and I got this one, and I really love it. (link)
Enjoy your week friends!
