@LincolnAbe54321 @Pony_WanKenobi @PeterZeihan This is personally weird to read, having been introduced to him thanks to...his participation in this public debate on NPR...but would certainly love for him to engage in forums like this more often! https://t.co/WywqXjkUAy

@katybeale @sarahdoody Agreed! Potential interviewers and interviewees should look up the "STAR method" (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and practice asking/answering questions this way.

[Dan Lachapelle @dlac]

@sarahdoody Most common: talking through your process as a hypothetical when I asked for an actual example/past experience. Not the worst, I'll just...ask you again 🙃

The "biggest" mistake: talking about your cross-functional partners or stakeholders like they're an obstacle to overcome.

I started a scholarship fund for my high school. It's for students pursuing design degrees at our local colleges. It’s called the Fitchburg Design Fund. Put money in it, plz. https://t.co/cIdDh8K9PU

@theDLAC ah yes, it's that time of the year. A 500% increase in twitter mentions, and all of them folks inadvertently pinging me intending to mention your conference. All I can say is your conference sounds awesome, and I'm sorry for any confusion my handle has caused.

[Dan Lachapelle @dlac]

@goabstract @noeclement I'm also experiencing difficulties.

@goabstract, is your authentication broken or is it just me?

@jonlovett finished recent pod. Great as always. But this peanut butter situation. Like. Just. Use a knife. I've never had this problem even once, so I have to think it's the spoon that's got you all fucked up.

[Peter Zeihan @PeterZeihan]

Translation fail. Kind of.

12 years of testing smartphones and only now I find the right way to move app icons from one screen to the other.

You hold the icon with one finger and swipe through screens with another.

I used to do it by bringing the icon to the edge of the screen which is slower/annoying.

I’m seriously hoping this is a parody.

Because, if it’s not, the GE smart bulb team should be charged with violating the Geneva Convention.

This is torture.
