Had a senior exec pick up his phone, punch some words into AI, then as-it-was-generating-a-response flip it around and put it in front of me. This shit has progressed well past ser…

Great. How do we fix this. It's like we know things are destined to go down in a flaming pile, and we're just watching so we can change it AFTER that happens. Soz. Kinda a "dear di…

That has little to do with what I said. A third of the world lives in poverty. That's the fault of capitalism.

Literally the most overwhelming thought, reading this, is "man, capitalism is a mistake" The amounts of money circulating whilst some of us struggle to make rent ... Nothing fair, …

As someone who's worked in UI/UX for 2 decades, I feel this too. Recent developments have made me feel a form of guilt that's new to me. As though we've all had it too good for too…

It's impressive how much worse MS Teams has gotten. Genuinely baffling decisions on every single level in that UI...

What I love about these types of questions is that they come completely out of the blue Like someone will rock up and ask for some stat that's completely irrelevant to the story, j…

Plus a lot of it has been about semantically correct formatting of your content and code. It's a moving target in that a lot of orgs try to "game the system", or at least exploit i…

I'm not keen on Apple's products. Getting their watch to go with my Pixel phone seems kinda ... no. So, this product is for the part of the world that doesn't use iPhones, I suppos…

Also literally has a link to "conclusions" :)

Because it leaves to the imagination, probably.

Worked in eye-tracking research for a bit. Things you learn; - Small text is hard to read - Making things hard to read means they get missed sometimes - Making it the only thing on…

Glad you're able to work like that. A lot of people aren't though. For them, there needs to be a different solution.

This is a problem with how employment works, more than anything. I've always "hung out" with colleagues after work hours. Because we're all in the same boat, and have more in commo…

I think "personality" deserves its own category + percentage.

Unfortunately, management roles are often inherited, instead of being earned.

Yup. Google Keep for anything fleeting. Evernote for keepers. Google Docs for structured stuff.

That's embarrassing.

Our HR department wouldn't let me give proper feedback. Even though I've had some people that, with a little tweak to their knowledge, or a slight shift in thinking, could become g…

"this one algorithm" -> 6000+ words No proper headings. To hell with that. I won't ever know what they're on about.

Just got my WASD in the mail today, been explaining to people at work what mechanical keyboards are, and showing them this: https://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-int…

Total tangent. Amazon Prime's video library here in Australia disapointed me to such an extend that I unsubscribed within minutes of subscribing. The dashboard has recommendations.…

This is a real, relevant and scary thing. Very real, even for huge content creators, that can - on a whim - get their butts handed to them.

I want 7 extra hours in a day. 4 for of those would be allocated to sleeping.
