@RickBellwrites @calgaryherald Maybe if there was some actual content in your op-ed I'd be able to discern your argument, but it seems completely content-free. Any actual facts or arguments you're putting forward? Or just sound-bites? Surprised the Herald bothers to publish drivel like this.

HOT OFF THE PRESS. I had to write this one. Danielle Smith is no traitor and neither are Albertans calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #canpoli #yyc #Alberta #Trump #tariffs #UCP

@SilvermanJacob I just used ChatGPT to help me design an internal workshop. The idea is to get attendees to think more "AI-first", and so I used AI, first, to help me make the workshop, including prompts that attendees can use with an AI as they work through the agenda.

@thoughtworks @EdLudlow @technology Great to be on the show, @EdLudlow I wrote about an AI strategy that can survive first contact with reality, with more on how to go from 'idea' to 'business value': thoughtworks.com/insights/artic…

When it comes to #GenAI, generating ideas is not the difficult bit but choosing the right idea that will create real business value, shared @mikemasonca, our Chief AI Officer. Watch the full interview with @EdLudlow on Bloomberg @technology thght.works/3FOVqiv

@tastapod @thoughtworks My trainer keeps mentioning macros, apparently I need "moar protein!" :-)

It's Radar day! Alongside the @Thoughtworks Tech Radar, here's my "macro trends" article -- next-gen team knowledge management tools, AI model validation, DX and developer journeys, tech debt .. and yes, I do talk about AI. thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/…

I've spent hours experimenting with using multiple large language models (LLMs) such as Bard AI, GPT-4, GPT-3.5 and Bing AI for academic research. They're extremely powerful but with some very painful pitfalls. Here's my guide to using LLMs as your personal research assistant:

@tastapod @sberczuk Might be able to transfer your domains to Google Domains, and use mail forwarding to forward from @mydomain.com to familymember@gmail.com -- apparently works for up to 100 email addresses. $$ to port your domains to Google though. support.google.com/domains/answer…

@errantschwa @thoughtworks Haha, thanks Max! Any blips with egregious errors are probably mine, and I apologize in advance for those.

@maxdeviant @yaahc_ @steveklabnik Yep. The Radar is intended as a guide and as input to people's possible tech choices, but it's opinionated -- it's what's working for us, from our particular perspective. Importantly, it's not intended to be exhaustive, unlike many analyst "magic quadrants."

@thoughtworks We did this tenth anniversary Radar entirely remotely, something we didn't think could be done. Hear more about how we did it on our companion podcast: #TWTechRadar thoughtworks.com/podcasts/lesso…

@thoughtworks And if you like my stuff, here's a companion piece discussing "macro trends" in the tech industry today. thoughtworks.com/insights/blog/…

Literally ten years in the making, here's the new @thoughtworks Technology Radar. I'm proud to have worked on every edition, and it's been a lot of fun too. #TWTechRadar thght.works/2WLVUPz

Star Wars Characters and how they make their coffee: a thread Obi Wan makes French press coffee and gently uses just the weight of his hand to lower the filter, so that the sediment isn’t overly disturbed and the acidity is controlled.

Anyone need an absolutely kick-ass developer and tech lead? Derek’s great, any company would be lucky to have him, and any team would greatly benefit from working with him.

To commemorate #10YearsOfTWTechRadar @mikemasonca takes a deep dive into the techniques that have enduring appeal #TWTechRadar thght.works/2Kux3dp

@ShawnaGofABPoli That's true if the only use of a mask is to prevent you catching Covid. You can fail all of those steps and masks are still useful to stop you inadvertently *spreading* Covid. Korea and China know this and have mandated masks in public.

So I’m putting my lab scientist hat on. For those choosing to wear masks: 1. Wash hands prior to putting on. 2. Do not touch mask with hands while wearing. 3. Wash hands prior to removing. 4. Wash hands after removing. Failure of any steps 1-4 makes the mask POINTLESS.
