Name somewhere, anything that has actually made Search correctly!🙄
I often tell people that I have massive ambition when it comes to bold ideas, but not when it comes to titles. Sometimes the bold ideas work out and result in career growth but I’m not motivated by titles. If it works out, it works out. I believe that the work should speak for itself.
We already live on a planet where we could house and feed everyone with 30% of resource produced.
Assuming true, of course any new tech that makes us more productive would NOT make anyone work less.
when did LinkedIn become Tinder?
We all know that person, who does the invisible work, who quietly coordinates and holds projects together. They sadly rarely get credit for it though. It’s hard to measure, and often overlooked. We need to find leaders who can see and reward this invisible work.

People people people, if this hasn't entered in your view, here it is!

Anyone visiting Melbourne, this is the only map you need to getting around Victoria state!
It's timely that Insider released this topic: youtu.be/8AKn-zJMIwY?...
Cancellation subscriptions in the auto-renewal cycle definitely needs a Law clause to be upfront obvious for people to not be in long-term debt when it comes to living with a subscription 🫠
It's a great time to build software that actually does things.
So, I'm an engineering manager at Stripe who is most responsible for our Design Engineering discipline, and my team would be the first to tell you that our definition is a bit imprecise. (It's actually a thing we're actively working on collaboratively as we come back for the year.) But my take:
Chris points onto a TV screen to explain his "hacker" theme. (From right to left), his folders of Skills, then what is the skill built with, requirements and then output, commands he can trigger it what to do)
Chris Rickard demos his Claude Skill that helps him filter on what a client has done, drafts an email (doesn't send), drafts a calendar event (doesn't save) unless he's reviewed it.

Why is January harshly drastic?🫠
If anybody wants a UX Designer part-time who's making an effort to build things the "old-fashioned way" (no AI, very little javascript, etc.) let me know.
So, SXSW Sydney gets cancelled.
EB Games in New Zealand announces to shut down all its stores.
What else could sound even more demotivating?
Also in Western Australia, it turns out FigJam isn't appropriate to say out loud... @figma.com
Our designer didn't want to show all the cursors in the FigJam file while he was screen-sharing, he said it was distracting with 30+ people in the file...
But it would still be helpful to pick the multi-player cursor to appear as they're speaking or spotlighted! (2/2)
another thing @figma.com is in FigJam, can there be a choice to choose which cursors to hide or show?
If there were roles/tagged group of multi-cursors to show or hide. (1/2)
New vid youtu.be/3a-X6FZfl2Y
This was originally just gonna be a fun teehee haha jailbreak video but it ended up being much deeper and disappointing than I thought. Turns out Big calculator doesn’t want you installing apps. Anyways check out the vid
On the way, walking passed the cafe and i second-guessed if i really, really needed that almond croissant + ice choco... Walked along and there's a CBA ATM, so obviously it's meant to be that I get cash out.. used their cashless withdrawal feature, and hurrah, i got my 🥐+ice choco = venturing day😋😆
Didnt have my physical cards/wallet on me, so spent 30 mins trying to add my bank cards to Google Pay/Wallet whilst commuting, and it kept rejecting... didn't have time for help/knowledge articles to resolve the problem..
people, people, throw yourself in situations and all kinds of situations!🤣 it's the way to really emotionally test moments - seriously! No AI can help you out on this!
Meme with the title: Do you ever look at stuff and wonder how it got there... then pictures of a car on top of a tree, a horse stuck in a fence, a cat trapped on window blinds, and some HTML with the code for a Tailwind button
Another is a business card organiser for the phone books. Now it's QR codes to scan for🫠
Using a landmark when you tell someone where to meet after mentioning the street names.
Seeing Marcus getting to learn from Chef Luca, Richie getting to learn from Jessica and Chef Terry and even Carmy getting to learn from Chef Thomas Keller in The Bear. I really wonder if most industries would have this type of exposure for someone to learn from another.
