I'm trying Cursor 2.0 right now and it seems like a great step forward. I still hope they'll implement spec coding (Plan mode is not close enough)

Our biological response to threat kicks in twice as quickly, lasts twice as long and is twice as strong as our response to reward.
Antipattern: accidentally increasing threat and not intentionally aligning incentives (behavioural norms not clear, objectives still via role silos)

1) It only covers original tweets, not retweets or citations
2) It does not preserve the original date

You haven't heard about the Social Progress Index yet? No worries, watch this

Michael Green: What the Social Progress Index can reveal about your country
The term Gross Domestic Product is often talked about as if it were “handed down from god on tablets of stone.” But this concept was invented by an economist in the 1920s. We need a more effective measurement tool to match 21st century needs, says Michael Green: the Social Progress Index. With charm and wit, he shows how this tool measures societies across the three dimensions that actually matter. And reveals the dramatic reordering of nations that occurs when you use it.

How Leaders Can Escape Their Echo Chambers
While leaders are broadly aware of the importance of creating a psychologically safe culture to encourage candor, they are less cognizant of how subtle leadership behaviors can get in the way of people speaking up. In this article, the author shares behaviors that leaders might not realize shut down dissenting perspectives and offers guidance about what to do instead. Taking these actions will help you step outside the bubble of agreement where many leaders unwittingly exist.
