I think I should have factored in 'one a penny, two a penny' from the off. It was a bit lazy on my part. Also, your graph looks nicer.

ChatGPT tells me that a hot cross bun in 1733 (when it might cost one a penny) should now cost about 88p. Meaning a modern hot cross bun is actually a bit of a bargain Graph below. Please feel free to check its workings. chatgpt.com/share/67feb1...

Feeling exceptionally lucky and excited to see Nate Bargatze tonight. Rapidly became my favourite comedian. Not edgy, not attempting to offend. It's like if comedy was a nice spring day. youtube.com/watch?v=MOm7...

My favourite story from this week's HR People Pod www.cipd.org/uk/knowledge... was when we talked about body doubling and accountability partners. A gym where gym partners each took one of the other person's shoes to improve commitment to being on time. You don't want to let someone down

"Technology is perhaps like food. It's necessary, but your benefit from it will be shaped by your relationship with it, that will determine the extent to how you are nourished. Your ability to select what you choose to consume responsibly and with understanding" Loved this from Sarah Hemminger

11 years ago. When my daughter told nursery I could shoot fire from my hands. And when they told me that when I picked her up I just said 'Yup' and walked off.

There should be a special term for people who are overly confident, based on limited domain knowledge, of when the Dunning-Kruger Effect might properly apply.

I split my haircuts between two barbers. One near work and one near home. Wondering if they both think my hair grows at half the rate normal people's hair does.

We are doing quite a bit of work on this, but I think enterprise implementations will rapidly overtake this/negate need for this. People are working outside the system, as solutions can't be found within it. That'll shift over the next 18 months as vendor solutions start to incorporate in workflows

Technology that can help lift make the most of our differences, rather than homogenise our approach seems most likely to provide benefit

That said... I currently hate Teams attempting to be a speaking coach when I think speed and emphasis of speech is so individual and ultimately can be beneficially variable.

David D'Souza @dds180.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

I like the idea of smart glasses that can remind me of the things I promised to change Like the coaching feature in Teams ('You are speaking too fast') becoming personalised 'You said you'd ask more open questions' I've no objection to technology helping me better. Whether at work or outside.
