@danhon.com 's back, and thank you Dan, this chimes hard in NHS land - newsletter.danhon.com/archive/s19e...

@adactio.com (adactio.com/links/21359) leads to an INCREDIBLY good read from Alex Russell at infrequently.org/2024/08/the-... - an "investigation into JavaScript-first frontend culture and how it broke US public services". GOV in the UK looks good in comparison, but we are so far from immune.

I'm suddenly finding posts that I relate to, and it's nice because I need them right now. One from @lagomstrategy.bsky.social - www.lagomstrategy.net/expertise-ve...

This is something that chimed with me a lot. @jukes.ie with "unproductive" people... digitalbydefault.com/2024/05/19/t...

New blog post after my keynote at Agile Manchester last week A framework for thinking about team memory, joining up and serendipity in hybrid organisations emilywebber.co.uk/a-framework-...

cohost.org/ghoulnoise/p... THIS via @danhon.com Just... the horror

""Good, fast, cheap - pick two" they say. Let's automate to make things better, not just faster and cheaper." - @timpaul.co.uk on Automation and the Jevons paradox www.timpaul.co.uk/posts/automa...

This weeny nugget from @danhon.com is just huge: "It’s not the streak, it’s getting back into the habit." A lot of things about the way we make products / services / life / compassion / capital / etc is encapsulated. (from the latest Things That Caught My Attention)

Brin’s done a weeknote: medium.com/@theredmount...

Always post when no-one is looking: my weeknotes for the past week: demotive.com/posts/2024/0... Thanks for the unconscious encouragement @gilestur.bsky.social 👍

We’ve just published the Radical How, a report commissioned by our friends Nesta The Radical How makes a case for governments boldly changing how they work, based on some of the best work done on major change in governments. public.digital/2024/02/21/w... #Government #PublicSector #HorizonScandal

Shitty ai being integrated into everything despite it being ass is like nepotism with a bunch of tech billionaires insisting we have to work with and take seriously their idiot robot son

I have tried not to overthink, overwrite, or actually reread this. First notes in a long time: demotive.com/posts/2024/0...

More of this please please please

In other exciting news, Brin (are you on here?) mentioned the thing I'm working on (translation: having my mind blasted out of my ears by) in a weeknote, so maybe... just maybe I should start weeknoting again. medium.com/@theredmount...

When I get paid I am finally going to properly subscribe to @danhon.com because this newsletter poops all over fuddy MIT Review newsletters sorry. Current one is a classic: newsletter.danhon.com/archive/s17e...

p.s. I have coined "cul-de-sac singularity" and just want to pop it here

Minor update to demotive.com my sporadic at best presence on the web.

Have I already reposted this? Basically hard agree. There's a point not _that_ far in the future where Shiny Feature will simply be undeliverable due to the lack of attention to the plumbing.

2024 and I blasted my inbox with the annual “unsubscribe” from everything. Back down to two, which are dead good: @danhon.bsky.social with “things that caught my attention”: newsletter.danhon.com @undermanager.bsky.social with “afternoon slow”: buttondown.email/russell These are both really good

@jacintamellejam.bsky.social hello!

Happy Unsubscribe From All The Bloody Emails Day 🎁

Watched a couple of Yes Ministers to relax and I don't know if it's end of year running on empty, but oh god it's infinity

It was really lovely to reconnect with this old friend, a few hours before my panic attack at the annual car service.

Winter, & the ghosts are still following you about, trying to catch your eye so they can signal that they finally became the corrected and thus more complete version of you.

@benjystanton.bsky.social I have just found your style guide page and I am digging it! www.benjystanton.co.uk/style-guide/

The biggest thing I miss about Twi.. X, is an M John Harrison tweet. There's a deeply pretentious Powerpoint in my head about his writing seen through the lens of design systems - atom, molecule, component etc

There's a metaphor for something here... An evergreen tree growing in or on an older chestnut (I think)

If it's not mayhem in here just yet, I will try posting things. I popped a little slideshow on my site about things I find interesting (spoiler: I look down a lot): demotive.com/posts/2023/1... Largely sparked off by the “share” portion of “Do Interesting”: thedobook.co/products/do-...

Perhaps this is one piece of the cozy web I am ever so slowly building back up into

Hello. Here’s hoping this goes better than the last time around...
