When you have two words like Font and Ontology that share three letters, you naturally need to combine them. Behold the Fontology

If a leadership team is unwilling to sit with reality and explore what is happening, or creates an environment that is unfriendly or unsafe to do so, then you will never "get clear." cutlefish.substack.com/p/tbm-367-th...

I've been collecting some "work object" patterns from our design partners in this document. As with all things, this is part "art" and part logical modeling. It boils down to what you want/need to improve in your company. Comments appreciated! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

At your company, is your key issue collaborating on things that could be transactional, or trying to treat collaborative things transactionally? Or somewhere in between?

Read on LinkedIn that there is a shortage of "masculine energy" in the work environment, so I wrote an extension to use AI to scan Amazon biz books to identify the predominance of "less-masculine" energy to get to the bottom of this disturbing trend.... Yeah.

I'd have to go back and find an old table (I'm sure I have this in a talk somewhere). This started while I was out for a walk using the voice feature. I think this was the first version chatgpt produced after I rambled on for ~2m.

I use Chat GPT to create comparison tables, but it still takes a good amount of work. This comparison between factories and software product development took around 15 minutes, at which point I hit my timebox. How did it (I) do?
