Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

I've been absent from social media and content creation for a bit. A few months back I got a medical diagnosis which has taken a while to digest. I have Common Variable Immunodeficiency (#CVID) which is a rare, and if untreated, potentially life-threatening chronic condition. #chronicillness

It took six months... but it's finally done. Everything from SMTP & DNS, to using MJML with Razor, to sending production email at scale:

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The great insight in the corporate and government push for RTO is that most organizations don’t know how to measure productivity or impact of knowledge work. Even Google.
So productivity boils down to hours spent in an office building.
