A slow-moving org can nearly always be traced back to confusion around company goals. It’s why @kellan always starts conversations with leaders who are eager to improve team efficiency by asking them about their communication style.

Please contact me on literally any platform other than this one. I’m almost never here anymore, I can’t even login via the website due to 2FA breakage. But excitement to work with some of you great people brought me back for a moment.

I do have some lovely code for screenscraping Twitter while jumping between spot instances that I wrote when I was build the oldtweets search engine (before there were downloadable archives). I wonder where I put that?
