We've started talking more about how members of a team can have superpowers - I wonder if it's also worth identifying our kryptonites

It's interesting to see outside developers using Asana's API to give AI agents persistent memory. Tasks and projects turn out to be ideal data structures for decomposing work - they map naturally to how both humans and AI need to break down complex goals. 1/4 www.linkedin.com/posts/werner...

Earlier I mentioned two kinds of stress - as I continued to research the categorization, I learned that both stress types map perfectly to the Yerkes-Dodson law - an actual empirical relationship between the diminishing returns of stress on performance.

AI chat windows remind me a lot of playing Civilization. Just one more prompt and then I'm done, I swear. Wait - it's so close, just one last prompt...

I've been trying to create a widget for making charts - almost got it! Other than fixing annotations (rip), I want to add some buttons to automatically add color themes & maybe even some annotations. Would you use this? charts.alivira.com

imo all the stress I've encountered falls into two categories (1) Climbing a mountain (healthy - keep this one) (2) Being underwater (not good - requires action)

I'm a very big believer in learning by teaching. Lately I've been using LLMs to try this - ironically, to teach myself how to understand LLM architecture. The way it encourages you is a nice touch! Has anyone else tried learning with this method? I want to try a voice conversation next.

In image where a user is asking chatgpt if their interpretation of how chatgpt works is correct. Chatgpt responds that the interpretation is correct, and adds additional context.

I always find myself looking up color palettes before making content. Yesterday I thought it might be fun to make a free color harmony picker to help. Check it out! color.alivira.com
