Spotify hack: If you want the best of New Music Friday but don't have 5+ hours to spare, just listen to Release Radar. And if you really want to min-max it, first track + last track = usually the best ones. #spotify1percenter

Women, in your use of AI have you noticed a digital “Matilda effect”?… When you use AI, people assume it did the thinking. When a man uses it, he’s credited with the strategic intelligence to deploy it well. What say you?

Yesterday I found myself thinking about a client I worked with over a decade ago. We haven’t spoken since. Today, for no particular reason, I checked my spam folder. There was an urgent message sitting there. Sent yesterday. From them. What do you call that? 🤯

I gave Gemini a complex homepage layout and it returned a functional build as good as what we used to expect after tossing design files over the wall back in the day. SMH.
