decided over the weekend to try out opening up a block of calls over the next few weeks: calendly.com/methodandstr...

if you're in leadership and have been following me long enough to know what I'm about, I invite you to book a 30-minute free consultation call to jam about whatever you working on.
The first one is free - Dorian Taylor

i mean if you really wanna hit that 36 hours, "i railed up a bunch of meth and then defragged my hard drive 52 times and sorted all the folders and sorted them again" is more plausible, lol
Saying you "coded for 36 hours straight" is something only people who have never programmed, and have no idea what programming is, would think is an impressive thing.

It is a claim that literally would not even fool a first year CS student. They'd laugh at you for saying it.

something i've been thinking about a lot as i work on senseatlas.net (currently in the process of adding internal caching to the underlying intertwingler.net which will make it much, much faster) is its relationship to project planning software, bug trackers, and conventional to-do lists
Sense Atlas
Sense Atlas is an organizational cartography kit. It helps you collaborate to build maps of projects, policies, and organizational knowledge, to support situation awareness and comprehension among people working together to achieve common goals.

One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline.

I think this has not been adequately metabolized.

This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.
