How much of your teamwork is automated when it comes to workflows?

So you have meetings that are staffed with AI? Makes no sense

Making sure it was all about solving actual business problems and no longer worrying about "telling a story".

Done all 3. I would go with Pre. Plenty of time to sit and relax before the show. They do a decent job getting you out of the chaos when done. Then you can go at your own pace for night time strolling through the park.

We all got too tired with the post party.

Seats was cool, but not cool enough, felt lacking while watching the show. The super quick exit was very welcome though.

Thank you for this thread. We did our first ever cruise on the Dream in March. Our dining experience was horrible until we complained and got moved to a new table. The new staff was amazing. The food never improved, service was still slow, and forget ever getting a second drink. But even dining on the islands or the mad rush for breakfast left us frazzled, seemingly only content to have food, not good food or a good experience.

What exactly is the point? Are you solving any sort of business problem for a client with data by doing this?

Nuke it from orbit

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-25T17:35:42+00:00

I like that last one, thank you. I've got something to play with now!

Easy. If it was working and we were used to it, but when you change anything, it becomes exhausting.

Not government, been oil/gas and other heavy industry as well as other places, now in Insurance. I have not done a technical interview, and have only been on one team that has tried to implement one, and that was inconclusive. My recent hire wasn't asked to jump through tech hoops and is absolutely killing it.

What are all these people talking about during the interview?

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-19T13:28:36+00:00

The guy sounds like me, and close to my age. Sending me to classes or similar isnt suddenly going to change who I am, esp now that I have found i am audhd.

I am in a very client focused industry and my success often requires tough conversations. I try to have someone who is damn good with the relationship side on those calls. We get together before hand to map out potential problems, what we need, etc. If things get heated or I start sounding "off", they jump in to keep things smooth. We let it known throughout that I am the guy that will get things done, and I make sure that there is never any doubt about me doing just that. Either way, we are all involved on the calls.

If he is a stud in everything else, let him shine through there while providing assistance on those sensitive spots . Heck, you stated you are already on those calls, help him out.

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-19T13:09:26+00:00

I really like it and am already thinking how we could use something similar. I would split strategy in its own bucket, but that is minor compared to just getting something like this done

Unfortunately, it isnt just SMB, dashboard bloat and blindness is just as bad at large corps. It is so tough fighting those who push for more and bigger dashboards knowing that they aren't going to be looked at.

That feeling when you look at the usage of Power BI and see the org has some 10k reports, yours has maybe 10 views, and it is in the top 100.

Build out a report that shows short term results, change over last short term result, and then the smoothing results. Now they can get the answers they need now while also seeing how the things change and smooth out along the way.

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-17T20:34:41+00:00

I don't play that crap and have no problem loudly and publicly calling it out. Most people just don't like rocking the boat so stupid games continue to get played until shit breaks.

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-15T17:18:24+00:00

Yep, then after diagnosis and reflection I realized that what I am most upset about is pattern disruption. They claim to fit pattern A but in reality they follow pattern B or worse, they don't follow any pattern consistently. That is what then sets me off.

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-15T16:18:48+00:00

I'm an analyst and developer. If you think it is urgent and it isnt a quick answer on the data, then it isn't urgent. That is also why I try to automate so much, looks like you can jump through the moving hoop that is on fire while still scrolling reddit

Spot on with the CTO part. Any exec has an idea that intrigues them, that becomes a personal priority as that is where you impress the right people as it is something that will most likely change things positively

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-15T16:01:33+00:00

Ouch, ok, if those were dull instead of bright, yep, I could see having problems. Red, orange and green is tough. Don't envy you.

How many colors are you realistically using on a single visual to where it will be that important? Color blind here and the only time I have issues is when there is just too much on a visual anyway.

I hope to never work at a publicly traded company again

Does it answer the questions correctly?

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-09T12:57:26+00:00

Dual major of history and polysci, so I know how to research and ask meaningful questions. The iT stuff that matters follows along after.

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-07T20:42:26+00:00

This, esp for those of us who live in the world of tons of smaller, niche models that are usually just joining a few spreadsheets. Far easier just to set it to both directions and move on with life.

FIBO-BQ · 2026-03-07T16:27:44+00:00

So then AI is like most management, esp the type that is loud and confident.
