You know that meme about the ridiculous names of business productivity software? This is an actual notification I received at work this morning:

Pumble notifications enabled

You can now receive clockify notifications directly in Pumble (by CAKE.com), so you never miss important updates from your workspace.

I first climbed to Boucher Summit, then followed a trail south to another summit. Here's Boucher from halfway up that trail; you can see the radio mast at the peak.

A photograph of a mountain peak, covered in green pines and live oaks, orange-yellow oaks, and a few white skeletons of dead trees. A road snakes its way through the trees, and at the peak, under a sky so blue it's almost purple, there is a radio mast covered in antennas and waveguides.

In the distance, another, shorter mountain is visible, a long ridge against a single white strip of cloud.

Philomena Cunk in front of a dilapidated railroad track. Top panel: "With its cowboys and guns and steam train rides, America became known as the land of the free.
Bottom panel: "which must have come as a surprise to all the slaves."

@cfbolz after a few failed attempts I’ve reached the ideal stage of just thinking about it but never actually doing anything ✨

I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles.

A hastily-drawn circle that isn’t quite closed, titled “Just make it exist first”.

Beneath it, a perfectly closed circle, titled “You can make it good later”.

If all you have is an insanely expensive, rapidly depreciating hammer, everything had better be a nail or you'll never hit quarterly shareholder expectations.

I gotta say, `i` is a great variable name. Possibly the GOAT.

Acrylic painting, undersea scene depicting a mermaid. The mermaid is eerie because its head is hollow and holding a mask. We don't know if they are looking at the viewer or not. The poor creature has been stabbed by harpoons and its sharp tail looks primed for revenge. The scene around her is peaceful with fish, nautilus and delicate coral reefs.

@eniko this is why i love ADTs and pattern matching on them ^^

Stop using anti-40-hour-work-week language!

Instead of saying: "I feel like we are working too much and I'd like to have a longer break"

Say: "We'll hold a meeting in half an hour"

Instead of saying: "I feel like working so long is making me miss important time making friends I barely have any left just to be here"

Say: "We'll hold this meeting daily from now on"

Instead of saying: "I don't really have anything to work on, why do we even have to work so long?"

Say: "We'll extend our meeting at least another 30 minutes today"

Instead of saying: "I stop seeing the point of working 8 hours we can be in meetings for 2 hours and discuss nothing and I can sit at my desk 3 hours doing nothing it doesn't seem to affect anything negatively at all if I only really work an hour a day most of these goals we meet don't seem to contribute to a better product our customer base seems increasingly unhappy the more we change so why don't we just keep everything working instead of trying to fill everyone's timeslots with arbitrary changes"

Say: "Good meeting guys thank you everyone for attending you can go back to your tasks now"

I want off this ride.

Seriously. This whole fiasco might be what kicks me out of tech. I'm so sick of this ridiculous golden calf, this fumed-up Oracle at Delphi.
