We get the best results from "AI" coding assistants when we:
* Take small steps
* Test, review and refactor continuously
* Use version control to keep our code shippable
* Integrate continuously
* Cleanly separate concerns
If only there was somewhere we could learn these skills!

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

Just hit a 500 day streak on my @dayoneapp.com journal. Longest streak after 6 years. Day One is awesome (not a paid ad), even though the recent UX change means I need to update my muscle memory..
If you don’t journal than start. It helps me make sense of the non-stop thought carousel in my head.

My daughter made some new friends at school, and I asked if she got their phone numbers. She looked at me like I was an idiot, and said she had got their snapchats. Apparently only young kids and 40 year olds exchange numbers. And "who the hell uses WhatsApp?"

OKRs have morphed into a performance management system tracking individuals over the past few years. The tools these organisations are using to manage OKRs go down to individuals so they must think "why not?"
Got me thinking about this curve, and at what point good concepts become enshittified.

I have recently become infatuated with Obsidian. I love its simplicity, its openness and how easy it is for me to share thoughts rather than keeping them locked away in my Notes. So much so I created my own Digital Garden with it here https://buff.ly/3LEtoJC #obsidian #curatedthoughts #joy

It appears we were visited by the Labrador stork and they dropped another little bundle of insanity into our lives. The little one has been named Iris by my boy, she likes to forage for treats and chewing everything in sight.
