Vicky Teinaki @vickytnz.bsky.social · 15/12/2024I do think I’m an extreme user in that I prioritise portability (as someone without a car this is important) and I know others say “wow your phone screen is tiny” but it feels like small cars in that it could well be a thing for a small but loyal user set? 010

Vicky Teinaki @vickytnz.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Something I have remembered about “tours of duty” - normally involve extensive training.

Vicky Teinaki @vickytnz.bsky.social · 09/12/2024One of the wildest things about working with frontline staff in digital is reminding them that they can just go to the loo at any time - is always a reminder of the privilege of tech work! 130
Vicky Teinaki @vickytnz.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Curious what you think realistic change will be in a 6 month secondment for someone completely new to government work?

Vicky Teinaki @vickytnz.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Something else I see too often in self-published non-fiction: the implicit assumption that readers are from the US or the UK. Writers - get someone not from your country to read your work, they will point out things that you need to spell out for people from a different place than you. 030
Vicky Teinaki @vickytnz.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Something I don’t love about self-published books is when it’s also meant no professional editor. Symptoms of this I have seen over the years include: - unreadable type (tho some small pubs are bad too) - questionable assertions - style guide mistakes (a name not being capitalised and so on) 3130
