ChatGPT as a coach/rubberduck for hard CEO stuff I feel like I need to wrestle with by myself has proven to be so invaluable.
Even if the main value is just in creating an excuse to write down and articulate what I'm trying to figure out, it's 💯. Number one thing I use it for.
The most important thing after being sure the code works is to make it understandable and changeable without fear.

In the 90's I was excited by the possibilities the internet opened up for making the world a better place.
Now, I am even more excited by what AI can do. But the stakes are much, much higher.

#Agile works much better as a taxi vs. a train/bus. That is not to say trains are not helpful, but they are not very flexible. #justsaying

Do what you will to your own body -- it's a gift you can treasure, or destroy, as you please. But when your choices impact others around you -- be it directly (harmful) or indirectly (inconvenient) -- then your choices are not just yours alone to make. Society 101, right?

WE DID IT #GUELPH!
We hit 90% first shot vaccinations making us one of the most vaccinated cities in North America! Helping us achieve this goal is Erica at 12yrs old & then Hannah at 94yrs old! Say thanks to the wonderful @WDGPublicHealth staff who have worked so hard at this!

Consider adding one item to your team working agreement:
"If I stop working on an item for more than a few hours because something more urgent comes up, I'll BLOCK that item so you will all know"
Juggling multiple items is hard, let's communicate. We need to see this stressor.

Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes “fuck me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80’s”

Joe Biden has yet again added more jobs in a single month than Donald Trump - the “Jobs Jobs Jobs President” - did during his entire presidency.

Just published the first version of an Elixir powered CI as a library. You can learn more at hexdocs.pm/ci/readme.html. There's a lot of work ahead, but I think it's a solid start :-)

Today, this arrived in the mail from @mikeeedwards. It’s a great book, perfect to help guide you on your own journey. It’s filled with great stories and powerful pauses for personal introspection. amazon.ca/Activate-your-Lead…

I never tire of sharing this deck when I find someone doing a "standard" retrospective -- slide 17 is particularly good -- thank you for keeping it available @estherderby slideshare.net/estherderby/a…
This sounds awesome.
On Jan 27 me and my Crisp colleagues will be doing a half-day remote event called Crisp Day. We'll be sharing a lot of interesting things we've been learning lately. Join us! crisp.se/kurser/crisp-day-20…
Great insights from @DianaOfPortland re social justice in Portland.
