“Krasnoludek” means gnome. “Hopsasa” means what it sounds like: frolicking.

The most surprising thing about a garden on an 11th-floor balcony is all the life that visits mr there. Examples: nettle, squirrel, oats.

Young and healthy nettle plant in a herb pot.

A squirrel climbs on the balcony's protective netting, its body highlighted inside a green circle. Below, basil grows in a planter, and a disco ball hangs from the netting above, reflecting the cloudy London skyline in the background.

Oat with drooping seed spikelets grows on the balcony, framed against a blue sky and the netted rail. Pink and white striped petunia blooms sit below, with the London skyline blurred in the background beyond the net.

Perks of working at the office: dog.

A woman sits at an office desk wearing a colorful patchwork cardigan over a lime green dress, with purple and blue Nike sneakers. She looks down and smiles at a Weimaraner dog wearing a black knit sweater, who is sniffing at her shoe. The dog stands on an office carpet next to a plate of food. Desks with monitors, keyboards, and office chairs are visible in the background.

A close up of a Weimaraner dog lying down, wearing a black knit sweater, looking directly at the camera with large amber eyes. A gold ID tag hangs from its collar near its nose. The dog rests on a fluffy gray blanket over an office carpet.

Yesterday I read a draft of a blog post from my colleague. it was well written and funny. I still keep thinking about it because of a quality I couldn‘t pinpoint until now. Well. It was clear that he did not use AI to think, write, or edit this piece and so it had his voice and style.

@davidkpiano.bsky.social made the case at Beyond The Prompt that the real issue with vibecoding isn't the AI. Agents do as told but have no taste. Give them structure and they're powerful. Don't, and the slop compounds. Best practices still matter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMvT...

And another example of why user research is increasingly crucial. Had any dogs been consulted here, we’d learn that it’s awfully difficult to choose „1:30” on the controls using your nose. Height is not everything!!! As you see, no dogs are using this microwave 😭

And that’s why user research is so important. Had any dogs been consulted, we’d have learned that they don’t se the color red and therefore can’t know that it’s forbidden to pee on the Russian embassy fence.

A small sign attached to a stone wall shows a black dog lifting its leg to urinate, crossed out with a large red X. Dark wet stains run down the wall beneath the sign, suggesting dogs have repeatedly ignored the warning. The wall appears to be part of a fenced fence property beside a sidewalk.
