A perspective shifting statement by my good friend Krynauw Nel last night:

“Ego is a reduction of your ability to be in the moment.”

And then this, from Stephen Nachmanovitch and his book Free Play:

“Mastery is the ability to respond to the needs of the moment.”

@Afrihost 3 weeks 4 days, with no help from you.

Reference: #1378583, MetroFribe was given to me regarding my fibre outage.

That got closed, (against my will!), and another got opened yesterday, #1422654.

@TAKEALOT Try following your own instructions. It will not work.

In my original issue I pointed out that those instructions do not work.

There is no "Forgot Password" available anywhere.

No one can reset their password on the Takealot site.

[Danie Roux @danieroux]

@TAKEALOT

There is no way to reset a forgotten password on your site.

I for one moved on and bought somewhere else instead.

@AnwarAlKandarii For single link recommendations, this iOS shortcut converts all Spotify to YT Music for me: https://t.co/UmoZ2tfqkW - and this for playlists: https://t.co/BqXdYdF0C8

(and, it is all annoying)

[Danie Roux @danieroux]

@goshatch Don't do it.

Also, when you do, this is a great gateway drug: https://t.co/KSV0ZS876p

@GergelyOrosz It is just so very, very expensive. 50% the cost of a JetBrains Ultimate license.

Very hard to motivate. Despite their copy - it does not pay for itself.

"An Engineering Leaders Guide to Recalibrating for the Agentic Era"

This is substantial and worth digesting.

Would love feedback, debate, and your perspective. We need each other in this.

I strap it. Then nix-it: https://t.co/20tQKC2HKq

@akothari @fharper @NotionHQ That did not work.

[Danie Roux @danieroux]

@allenholub Once, I insisted (softly) on Pomodoros as the way of work.

Gave team members the permission to say "No, not now, after my Pomodoro".

Including saying that to stake holders.

Left after three months, and the feedback was "all you did was calm down the dev team" 🤷

@ryrobes When you don't bookmark a site you use often, and keep typing words in the search bar until the history search returns it as a top hit.

And type out most of the URL most of the time.

@ericnormand I found this a useful way to think about it: https://t.co/994u4MMqFG

@dustingetz @janetacarr We do it (and mobbing) with Pomodoros, strictly kept to 25 minutes so that the break in focus is guaranteed.

And grace, gentleness, and checking-out when you need to.

[Danie Roux @danieroux]

@girba I have no opinion on that.
