@Connor @nbbaier @arcinternet https://t.co/Z7sPleuKE3 has some precedent too, with Action and it's subtypes.

@MattJamesBoyle @iavins I believe this lib was originally extracted from group cache (https://t.co/y24JSo8s9x). I've also used it in some code dealing with 3rd party integrations.

@aboodman Also Sonos.

Play 5 stereo pair in the main room.
Play 1 in bedroom.
Port connected to Denon Amp and Martin Logan speakers which are also used for the TV.

I'd probably get an Arc for the TV if I was starting over.

@joshm @browsercompany Where it really messes with your head is when you feel both simultaneously.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@joshelman @jamescham Also, the evidence on efficacy of brainstorming is spotty at best. It _feels_ good, which does support an important purpose but likely doesn't actually result in better outcomes.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@joshelman @jamescham It's not about simulating real world interactions, but facilitating different interactions that have similar outcomes.

FWIW The biggest gap I see is cultivating belonging, which is necessary for many of these processes.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@joshelman @jamescham FWIW my hot take, is that RTO is really about performance management.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@joshelman @jamescham Yes! Intentional communication and collaboration is the key.

I do think all 4 classes of work you outlined can be done successfully remotely, lots of evidence that's the case. But it's ok if not everyone wants to spend "innovation tokens" figuring it out. It is still nascent.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@joshelman @jamescham I remember talking to a team pre-covid who was struggling, they were split over two floors and essentially experiencing the same issues we talk about today with naive remote work.

"remote" is really a spectrum.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@joshelman @jamescham The point was that remote work amplifies organizational dysfunctions which already exist, but are either not acute enough to fix or not felt by all.

Practices that make remote-work work, make work better.

@rauchg Ends vs means.

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Teams that do regular debriefs (meetings focused only on learning from past team performance) improve team performance by up to 25%, but they are often infrequent, conducted only after things go wrong or big projects end.

@nanaze While annoying, average speed cameras in the UK appear to have been super effective.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

As well as pressure from the labour movement, reduced work hours gained popularity during the great depression because it meant there was more work to go around.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

Worth noting that 1870 was close to peak; a time where work weeks were 70hrs and it was common to see children in factories.

By comparison, 14th century casual laborers worked about 1400 hours and 15th century farmer/miner worked about 1900.

[Matt Darling 🌐🏗️ @besttrousers]

Capitalism has so permeated our existence that "average hours worked" has been consistently declining for decades.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@roybahat I usually figure it's a planner-doer internal conflict.

[Dan Pupius @dpup]

@gavindoughtie Yeah... seems like a fundamental shift is needed.

In the meantime, China is the canary, with population possibly reaching peak and projected to decline significantly by 2100.

@eduardolundgren It's an amazing tool, instead of fighting against the flow, consider org design part of software design.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

My column: https://t.co/dBIhT9eZLv

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.
