This will be my last post on a product with an owner who has shown he has values that are not just misaligned with mine but harmful to society. I have set up an account on Bluesky. I would wish anyone else who cares about democracy to do the same.

@iAWriter if only the metadata wasn't included in the word/character count and preview :(

@homsiT it would be great to have @reflectnotes integration with Readwise, I'm just switching from Roam, Thanks for listening

[Tony Grout @tonygrout]

Hey @readwise and @reflectnotes I would love to see an integration.

3 out of 3 of my flights in the last month with
@britishairways cancelled or significantly delayed. Time to look at another airline or Eurostar though on paper it's a longer journey?

@PapaChrisMatts @andylongshaw @Marinafo_LDN Capacity planning in the quarter, beyond that set expectations on organizational appetite for solution size

[Tony Grout @tonygrout]

@PapaChrisMatts @andylongshaw @Marinafo_LDN Three planning horizons, furthest horizon is product concept, then roadmap with closest being a quarter. Roadmap planning in the quarter is solution-focused. Roadmap beyond the quarter is still problem-focused.

Interesting experiment from
@British_Airways on BA399 on ramming economy by reserving a 3rd of the flight for business class which sits half empty

@PapaChrisMatts @johncutlefish @TobySinclair_ @absoludicrous @ellengott We were fortunate to have @magillett and @Dr_JonnyW both strong supporters of building a learning organization and sharing the learning

@your__tempo Sad news. Thank you for putting so much effort in to making Tempo such a pleasure to use. Good luck to the team in whatever you do next

@tastapod @instapaper Thanks Dan, I did not but it’s funny and sad how an article back in the 2010’s is as relevant as it was then - so maybe someone benefited from my Instapaper learning - lol

@PapaChrisMatts @markdalgarno @t_magennis Can’t remember what Jäger was for either. Still see many execs not realising their key role is order the work - everything is equally important doesn’t help team

[Tony Grout @tonygrout]

@johncutlefish This does a useful job of describing the levels of mandate for what the work should be. Thoughtful if this model might be extended to cover the mandate on what order to work in, especially with dependencies

Please support and comment on my @ProductHunt post to help others find it. Thanks.

Concerning UK talk of abandoning GDPR, trading our privacy for “economic and social” benefits. Lack of business awareness is a poor excuse by the government @OliverDowden https://t.co/ZlXEoL636p
