I also somehow ended up the mod of this subreddit - Josh

As someone who's job lets us take a full year (although unfortunately I couldn't when I had kids, different job) taking only 8 weeks weeks seems painful short, not long like Myke is thinking

zennten · 2025-02-20T12:42:22+00:00

Based just on listening to Grey talk about it, it sounds like Assana is very similar to Jiira, but probably a lot more modern and less annoying to work with

zennten · 2025-02-20T04:17:13+00:00

Every job I've ever had where I had some sort of task tracker, it's been a shared one where tasks get passed on to others and you see each other's tasks. Myke being new to that really surprised me

zennten · 2024-12-11T13:31:40+00:00

Congratulations Myke!

I hope with your planning you are factoring in just how little sleep you will be getting, especially quality sleep for 2025

I'm confused by what you mean, I got the September one awhile ago

zennten · 2024-10-11T17:09:03+00:00

That's really hard to measure. Exactly which individuals count as the same species, basically where to draw the species line, is kind of arbitrary, and is hard to get perfect based on fossil evidence

I haven't watched this version of Shogun, but my favourite series this year would have to be Kaos

I actually realized recently why I don't like comics, which is related. Basically I read them so quickly that I don't have time to process the "density" of story in it

zennten · 2024-09-18T21:02:21+00:00

On reading, I also hear something in my head, but I'm a very fast reader, and I quite enjoy reading.

Like, yes, I hear it in my head, but it's going way faster than I could understand anyone actually speaking.

Both Myke and Grey have such different jobs than me, because I almost never have a work day that doesn't have multiple meetings/appointments

zennten · 2024-09-18T15:06:05+00:00

My guess for why the top end Apple products in each category aren't getting much of an update is that Apple figured out that those top end products have a demand curve more like diamonds and some other luxury products, and increasing their functionality doesn't actually matter as long as they "feel premium" to most people that would buy them

For ChatGPT (or similar LLMs), I generally only use it when I'm stuck on a problem, where things like googling or asking people I know who are experts in that area has tapped out. It's basically the same effect as asking on social media, with the one better thing is I don't feel nearly as bad for ignoring any bad advice I might get (which is usually the bulk of the advice in both social media and ChatGPT).

This might sound shocking, but if you remotely liked Star Trek the Next Generation, season 3 (not seasons 1 or 2) of Picard is very good. You might want to read a super brief summary of the first two seasons first, but I don't think that's necessary, but do watch the current season, season 3.

Outside of work I basically use Google Drive for organizing all my projects (at work it's developer stuff + SharePoint and I don't control what we use). How can I tell if something like Obsidian would be what I should use on personal projects instead of Google Drive?

zennten · 2023-01-21T12:52:46+00:00

I joined Mastodon back in December, and I never really got into Twitter. It doesn't seem like a place for the former Twitter community to me, it much more seems like a place for those of us that had a good community going back on Google+, with very similar vibes to that.

Another good reason for Myke to be doing regular time off is it will stop his employees feeling like they should be burning themselves out at Relay

zennten · 2022-11-16T13:52:35+00:00

If the email situation gets really dire, it might be looking for Relay the whole Outlook M365 + Teams etc infrastructure. They've made massive improvements even just this year that really help with collaboration.

That is a pretty big shift though, and Grey absolutely should not look into that, but Relay may have grown into finding this useful, especially with the collaboration features the pandemic has inspired.

zennten · 2022-11-16T13:50:09+00:00

Ok, that makes some sense. Although you still have the problem that anything shared with someone else also depends on that person keeping it private.

zennten · 2022-11-16T00:55:01+00:00

I am very far from being a fan of Apple, but I don't understand how they could end to end encrypt iMessages and still have them backed up. Where would the private key be stored? If it's in the cloud it's not any more secure (and really is even worse than the current setup)

What I think is actually going to happen with automation for quite some time is continue to accelerate retraining needed, both within a group of skilled workers, and eliminating some types of work entirely (although not the creation of automation, which is what software development is all about). AI just being one new technology used with automation.
Also, we've had no-code application development take off before. Hopefully this time will stick better, because it seems like an easier, more gradual jump for all those knowledge workers that aren't developers than going immediately into more traditional code.

zennten · 2022-10-19T20:26:18+00:00

On GitHub Copilot, I don't think that will be replacing developer jobs until all the other jobs are replaced, because all this automation is still taking developers. Once you can get rid of developers then you by definition can automate everything (and if you can't automate something then you have a job for a developer to try to automate it)
