Autogram

A self-referencing sentence that describes its content

[Actually, @eaton]

Morning, friends! Last week I posted about Spidergram, the web analysis tool @autogram_is just released on GitHub. Over the holidays, we’ll be doing a lazy, weekdays-only advent calendar — showing interesting tricks and explaining the ideas behind it. https://t.co/TM1N2R9ZCv

Quine feels very Autogram

A Quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output. Here is a quine in Python:

_='_=%r;print _%%_';print _%_

Not only is today's date a palindrome, it's also an ambigram. You can read it left to right, right to left, and also upside down #nerdalert

Always a pleasure to talk shop with @brownorama, and this ep. of A Lens A Day was particularly fun. We chat about the complexity of remote facilitation, the difference between content "topics" and "containers", and how planning a workshop is a lot like prepping a D&D session.

So, last week @beep and I had a fascinating conversation with @petermcreaper and @mkeftz about the work they're doing on @interplayapp; among other things we circled around the ideas Peter mentioned in his post about design artifacts… it's worth a read. https://t.co/00F4IkBBX6

“We’re looking for people who want to solve hard problems,” say half the job listings, oblivious to the fact that their hard problems are mostly organizational and not at all interesting or unique.

5. It’s about the language teams use to communicate!

Evolution of a software engineer’s perspective:

1. It’s about the code!
2. It’s about the design!
3. It’s about the requirements!
4. It’s about the human coordination!

"In the context of content modeling, the process of “dechunking” is fundamentally about making meaning more available." A delightful dialogue on content sensemaking, by @eaton https://t.co/IaTSUEmSYJ #contentstrategy #contentsystems

If you or your team need a crash-course in design system fundamentals, @beep has just rolled out four new video training courses on the subject. They're available for free at the @AquentGymnasium! https://t.co/YfVh9lGRpj

Debated a showy April 1st joke update to the company web site, but decided to keep it subtle.
