Always going to be this one.

Hey, look. It's a decent scan of this legendary image!

Quote: “Plan the learning. Not the solution. Not less planning. Different planning. The question isn’t “How do we plan less?”, but “What are we actually trying to plan?” Plan the learning: decide upfront what you need to understand, how you’ll find out, and what you’ll do with what you discover.”

Often the beauty lies in the simplicity of a thing. AI allows people to add more without much friction. But is this really useful?

I wish I could block some docs in Google Drive. Someone shared me a deck with some absolutely cursed, baseless timelines, and I never want to see it again. Even accidentally.

MLB’s Korean marketing slogan used to be “It’s big ball chunky time”, and I will never stop thinking about it

Jinenger, an eccentric, energetic mountain yam, is an unofficial mascot for Shiroi City.

Steve is an engineering VP at Microsoft and I find a similar pattern is showing up for product managers. I see lots of PMs who were already good now multiplying their impact with AI while weaker PMs are now using AI to generate work slop which is a waste of everyone’s time.

If you work at mlb.tv, and you have access to whatever model is being used to generate captions, please teach it “oppo taco.” It displays “Apple Taco” every single time. I hope this how the upcoming Apple Taco gets leaked.

Just put me on a flaming raft and push it out to sea.

I had a 98 Corolla that I bought used as a previous RENTAL CAR, and drove it for another 12 years. I’m still driving a 2011 Mazda 3 15 years later. Japanese cars, man (gender neutral)

White Sox are adding bidets in their clubhouse as requested by Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami "One thing he did notice is we didn’t have a bidet in our locker room. That’s new to him. It was like, ‘Ok, that’s new. We can do that.’” -GM Chris Getz (via @scottmerkin)

in 2026, may you find the community you need, the projects that fulfill and sustain you, and all the messy salty crunchy cheesy snacks your heart desires

Happy New Year. May everything fall into place for you in 2026.

I got a request today from a project management AI-automation company. I said: Project management facilitates the system so people doing the work can succeed. There is no way to automate that. There is only tool-based automation. That is not pm. You are solving the wrong problem.

In 2026, I want to read.... a lot. Please suggest a book I should read to better understand the world around me or to simply enjoy this place a little bit more. #booksky #readsky

Hire @ashleemboyer.com. Not because she had a hard year, but because she is damn good at what she does.

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI. 10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

when you're conceived, your "self" begins borrowing matter from the universe like checking out books from a library. in a tub your feet exchange particles with the water. where do you end and begin? that's why it's ontologically impossible to get mad at me for stealing pens from the bank. they're me

Finally broke down and turned on Gemini in Google Workspace. Asked it to format one sheet based off of data in another sheet of the same workbook. It told me it’s not capable of referencing other sheets. This is the kinda of stuff that would actually save me time. What are we even doing here?

AI WON'T turn you into a 10x engineer but it CAN accelerate your day-to-day work. I'm hosting a live workshop early next month to help experienced devs level up from copilot to coding agents. No breathless hype, no "learn this one magical prompt" BS, I promise! blog.thepete.net/ai-assisted-...

So many good lines in here that resonate: “Getting clarity faster by stepping slightly outside your lane and unblocking work.” “You build context that helps other teams move with confidence.” “You’re not adding more work. You’re trading late chaotic work for early clarifying work.”
