To be honest, most SV companies built by humans are really bad at that. So I hold little hope that the AI that they build would do so. 😕

I can only assume so. It says that about every minute of most drives that I'm on.

Bizarre.

It reminds me of an saying from a Tanzanian friend who said "you can always see the drunk drivers as they're the ones driving straight on the road." (Not around the potholes).

Tech in Africa is just hard in so many ways.

I would apply the “whats useful” filter.

If it keeps the clarity and might be something you come back to, sure. But if it gets too messy with many dead branches, maybe move it to an alternate tree of things you decided not to do and why as a record.

Sometimes before that I use “Elves, Wizards and Robots” as a fun way to break people reality constraints (aka pessimism) and to get the creative juices flowing.

I always like “Evil Genius” to identify ways to completely undermine the value delivered. I find it gives a great starting point when you then flip them into different ways to mitigate. It often yields completely different ways to view the problem.

Like, how you you teach someone who spent their whole life with news authorities that she needs to critically question the videos she gets sent via WA groups? She doesn't comprehend the problem and is likely too old to change now.

Self-forgiveness and acceptance can definitely help for the stage you're in... 😬

We use Gitbook but have considered switching to docusaurus before.

We went for “tiny bubbles” on the walls (it’s lighter than it looks here) and Julienne Jade on cupboards. (Also used the darker one in entrance hall) light fittings, switches and door knobs also go a long way.
