Me to my wife: “Big news today, Apple is losing their designer lead. He’s joining Meta.”

I believe in talents renewal and in new dynamics to favor new ideas, new ways at seeing problems and challenges. It’s a new opportunity even if the guy taking over has been at Apple for a long time. Bye bye Dye.

I’m at the coffee shop. Again. Now attacking work on something else which might be really time-consuming. 👀
On Creative Work in a Coffee Shop
Coffee shops are fascinating places where people meet for a good coffee, a great ambiance and for working or surfing the web with their laptops and smartphones. If coffee shops are similar to what they were hundred years ago, how we spend time there is quite different.

As much as I love Tinylytics, I wish there was some basic analytics on Micro.blog, just like Bear’s. I should update my Micro.blog wish list. If @manton don’t want to spend time working on this, maybe he could find a way to integrate a Tinylytics dashboard inside Micro.blog? 🙏🏻
