If you know how to wield it and you have a culture that supports it, a remote team is an absolute superpower: versatile, responsive, fast, collaborative, innovative. Certainly, I can't imagine doing it any other way at @oxide.computer!

I'm off to my usual start with #AdventofCode
- yay, this is fun, I know what to do
- I should neaten this up
- argh, ok what's that syntax again
- there's got to be a better way
- I've got the power, brute force it is
- yuk, brute force is terrible, but it works
- aw crap, I have real work to do

Software is heavy on its use of metaphors, so here's another one for the mix.

Today's success was getting on bsky and finding about 2/3rds of my other place follows.

Today's defeat - getting Schwalbe Magic Mary's onto WTB rims. What kind of gorilla hands do I need for popping these things on and off?! Maxxis are a doddle by comparison!
