Evidence Quote

Tiago Forte is a productivity practitioner. His approach is fundamentally humanistic. He wants his system to be emotionally accessible to a freelance writer, a college student, or a mid-level marketing manager... Andrej Karpathy is a world-class, deeply technical AI engineer. He approached the problem looking for absolute scalability, automated self-maintenance, and ruthless technical precision. But they are deeply complementary.
