Coming off of a health sabbatical, yes, I have more contracted work around than I can commit to.

I can’t even imagine having 50 acquaintances I see in a year, currently, so I don’t know I’ll be able to offer advice specifically…

but generally?, I think I’d be pretty upset if I knew 50 people and none of them would bring me on their team, or start something up with me.

Well, I am upset. But -- bubbles. My health has been in decline for years and I am very slowly making some strides. Missed on a million networking opportunities by being unable to go to conferences and... yeah, I'll not turn this into a sob story.

LLMs really accentuated the importance of networking, did they not?
