We get the best results from "AI" coding assistants when we: * Take small steps * Test, review and refactor continuously * Use version control to keep our code shippable * Integrate continuously * Cleanly separate concerns If only there was somewhere we could learn these skills!

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans. (Reply to this post with your own art/website etc. But only if you’re an organic life-form). www.worldofmoose.com

Just hit a 500 day streak on my @dayoneapp.com journal. Longest streak after 6 years. Day One is awesome (not a paid ad), even though the recent UX change means I need to update my muscle memory.. If you don’t journal than start. It helps me make sense of the non-stop thought carousel in my head.

My daughter made some new friends at school, and I asked if she got their phone numbers. She looked at me like I was an idiot, and said she had got their snapchats. Apparently only young kids and 40 year olds exchange numbers. And "who the hell uses WhatsApp?"

If I was Lattice and my top-voted for product feature was OKRs down to individual level, what would you do?

Wayne @waynepalmer.co.uk · 18/11/2024

My assumption is that once the late majority get their hands on something, the prevailing mindsets all kick in and concepts get rebranded, assimilated and absorbed by the different systems driving these larger organisations.

Wayne @waynepalmer.co.uk · 18/11/2024

OKRs have morphed into a performance management system tracking individuals over the past few years. The tools these organisations are using to manage OKRs go down to individuals so they must think "why not?" Got me thinking about this curve, and at what point good concepts become enshittified.

I have recently become infatuated with Obsidian. I love its simplicity, its openness and how easy it is for me to share thoughts rather than keeping them locked away in my Notes. So much so I created my own Digital Garden with it here buff.ly/3LEtoJC #obsidian #curatedthoughts #joy

It appears we were visited by the Labrador stork and they dropped another little bundle of insanity into our lives. The little one has been named Iris by my boy, she likes to forage for treats and chewing everything in sight.

I find it’s very important to let your fellow passengers know you have the opening of the door covered. It settles nerves. We are getting off this train first folks, the thumb is poised.

Having to use OneDrive and SharePoint on a Mac. When it’s not failing to sync, it’s trashing files. Or it’s claiming it’s “preparing to upload” when really it’s plotting the next way to annoy me.

Finally made it onto Bluesky, now trying to work out whether I shutdown my twitter account for good. Hmmm….maybe go through my likes first and see whether I saved anything interesting…
