Just another IC here but I've seen middle managers just bureaucratize an existing process for their benefit. Something like: a) identify a process that is working well/delivering r…

...and the Saab cup holder. Not a control per se but always fascinates the odd passenger. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tjVN6p8VkPM

Hopefully doesn't impact eFile/Free File Fillable Forms or it's back to paper returns to the IRS for me vs HR Block

Probably a large donor's money spigot was affected (e.g. FAFSA private loan servicers) and the WH got a call from them. Same with the plan to deport prisoners, queue the calls into…

Similar sentiment shared in this week's NY Times: https://archive.md/WwK1J my .02, I had a great 3 year expat experience. I think the difference was I was young and in a large city…

An easier snowboard test is to tell someone to turn around and tell them you are going to give them a push. Give them a shove to the upper back and see which foot they put forward …

Older runner as well and have also had to take sporadic time off to deal with plantar fascitis, IT band, achilles, etc. Agree with listening to your body and what I'm hearing is sl…

Maybe an end-around? Here are some Harvard summer courses... https://courses.dce.harvard.edu/?srcdb=202403&summer_school=... . (a long time ago now, I landed a job this way because…

My son found work last year in a seaside town, I helped him in finding an apartment over summer timeframe. I looked online in the usual places and there was near zero apartment inv…

Good stuff! I actually had the same idea as I was building a custom GPT. Not as slick as your effort but if you want to take a look: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-lwQixzKwd-web-optim…

fyi good article on where the ends of the horsehoe have bent toward each other I think: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-55957298

Maybe consider a role 'following the money'? Perhaps your skills are even stronger than Gregg/Dean in either explaining/solutioning/selling/deploying the tech to solve your custome…
