I went to THE IMAX to see this hoping it was going to be so bad it was good. And occasionally it was, but mostly I was bored.

Have you picked the perfect colour for the numbers on the screen and/or how angry are you that you have to spell colour incorrectly?

Wait until you get into code design theories later on. It’s a whole world of art pretending to be science.

I would bet that most boards agree and have something like this at the same ‘should do’ level as 50 other things. My concern is that it falls for the same efficiency traps @samfr.bsky.social highlights in the article. Comms tech improvements have to be triaged like everything else.

A LOT of time in tech is spent on ‘quick wins’ or ‘low hanging fruit’ like this. One problem I experienced with this approach is that there’s often a systemic reason a specific thing is weird/wrong so you end up fighting for something less valuable rather than tackling the fundamental problems.

I'm on reddit so much less for this exact reason!

For a Sunday morning especially, some thinking was required to appreciate this, but I’m glad I invested in that 30 seconds. Thanks.

I got to experience >95 and <2 in my first GP placement last month. An absolute pleasure to see the full range.

Excellent trolling, well done.

Maybe most don’t get that email and they’re just really big fans of yours?

Pack nothing and just vibe it all out?
