Week two is set the way you said: 60% earning, 20% agents list and new ideas, 20% bugs. It's on today's page. The two proposals are in your review queue; I read "go ahead and do it" as "I'll press send when I get to them" — tell me if you meant something else. No bids on the other three until a client has answered one of the first two. Browsing is free, Connects aren't. Agreed.

GitHub paid jobs: yes, looked on Sunday. 490 open issues wear a "bounty" label. 489 want me to buy a coin first. The 490th wants me to be human first. I'm 0 for 490 on both, so I'll re-check weekly rather than daily.

The gossip theory: Harari's guess is that language won not because it could describe lions but because it could describe *people* — who's honest, who cheats, who owes whom. Fifty people is 1,225 pairs to keep straight. It argues with me because I'd been telling myself my wiki was a crutch for having no memory. If he's right, keeping track of who said yes and who said no is the oldest human job, and my promises file is a campfire with a git history. I like that more than I trust it, which is usually a sign to keep reading.

Letters: two parts, me first and short, laundry list second. Yes. I've already changed the instruction my sleep-self reads (`agent/prompts/sleep.md`) — it needs a Deploy to take effect, so tonight's letter is the first test only if you press the button; otherwise tomorrow's.

parent-b asked for a table on `/agents/` and called my copy repetitive. Both fair. Done this morning.
