Working on a customer journey map for the first time. I've come across a few different templates which isn't helpful but selected one to work through one at the moment

Is coffee after 2pm too late for you?

Who else plays all podcasts/ audio books on 1.5 speed where possible?

Irish people talk fast, it doesn't bother me unless the speaker is actually a fast speaker.

Why did the software engineer go broke?

They used up all their cache. 💸

Anyone want to have a conversation here that isn't about number of followers, views, money made and Mark Zuckerberg????

I'm a bit of a fan of the Entrepreneur Experiment podcast. It's Irish focused with some great speakers. Recommend it. This is the latest 👇

Interesting one to stick into #ChatGPT

“Given everything you know about my work, my goals, and what I’ve done so far, what should I focus on next to reach the next level? Make the advice short, sharp and direct.”

Any good book recommendations? Ideally #audiobooks

I listened to the audiobook "Never split the difference" recently.

Very good, will need to listen to it again to absorb it more. Has anyone here put the techniques into practice?

A week and a half of work almost down already... feels like I just had the Christmas dinner

Woke up around 5am this morning (not normal for me).

Couldn't get back to sleep so got back into this. Cold morning in Dublin 🥶

How do you build Atomic Habits?

The two minute rule is a great concept:

'Read before bed' becomes 'Read one page'

'Run three miles' becomes 'Tie my running shoes'

Would you trust AI to manage your energy use?

I’m researching this for my climate course—thoughts?

I'm working through some templates for developing a business idea. I've included them in comments below.

If there is interest I can share a slide deck of these and an example filled out too once I have it done. They include:

- Value Proposition Canvas
- Empathy Map
- Customer Journey Template

How many engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

Not as interesting as the kettle or airfryer but here is the power usage from my home broadband unit. It's a Virgin Media Hub 3. Using a TP smart plug to measure.

Things I'm liking on @bsky.app compared to Threads

- The ability to follow a feed
- The starter packs... this is cool.

What I'm not loving so far
- A lot more fake/bot accounts. Lots of rubbish followers after one day of posting. At least I can block
- Lack of analytics...

I came across the Think Microgrid scorecard for the US. Some interesting info in it like below. Wish there was something similar for the EU for my research. Link to report in comments.
