Reminder to my tweeps: You don't have to stay here. Fedifinder fedifinder.glitch.me will export your followers/followed list so you can find them on Mastodon.

An elephant is as nimble in its context as a swallow is in theirs. "Square peg in a round hole" as as much about the hole as it is about the peg.

@MosquitoCapital @NotDrSnit At least this will help while I wait.

@MosquitoCapital @NotDrSnit Soon, please.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

@SahilBloom Capitalism is funny like that. What if our societal values prioritized these 3 things? What if our production and consumption took these into account? What if reward/recognition came to people who advanced our ability to pursue these things rather than those who hoard resources?

One fact I find interesting: The findings feel “obvious” and yet so many people fail to live in a manner that takes them into account. We continue to chase status and fame despite an awareness that relationships are what truly matter in the end. Humans are funny like that.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development began tracking the lives of 268 Harvard sophomores in 1938. It is considered the longest running study on adult life, health, and happiness. Here are 3 powerful findings everyone should know:

Thank you to all the tweeps with whom I conferenced, tweetchatted, tweetup'd, and just plain made meaningful connections. I look forward to connecting again. In one - or several - communities of interest. Cheers. @derekwwade.

Community is important. But we're seeing the problems with community as commodity.

It's been a while. I didn't like the looks of where things were going, so I came here less and less. I'll be around. You can likely find me at 'derekwwade' (note the middle 'w') wherever I leave a footprint.

(And yeah, you can call them SMIRC goals if you want.😉)

Leave the SMART goals for trivial things. Start making goals that incorporate scalable creation of value (spike/MVP/MLP etc) and Classes of Service (e.g. intangible/standard/fixed-date/expedite). You'll be more successful at creating value despite constraints.

SMART goals are meant well but a naive tool.
