Even when it's easier and faster than ever before, the first question should always be: Is it worth doing at all?

@PhillyPolice glad to see you set an example for how to obstruct the bike lane. SMH

@cityoflancpa I hope no person with accessibility needs or children, need to cross the street at Lime @ Lemon.

I highly recommend requiring defined alternate paths and signage for safe pedestrian paths. People > Cars

@Amtrak maybe it is time to switch back to air travel where they know how to communicate through a delay.

[Deke Bowman @dsbowman]

@Amtrak what is worse being stuck on a train stopped with no communication or a plain with a pilot who at least sounds like they care? - Cardinal 51 passenger

@AmericanAir sure is fun sitting on an airplane for now over an, with no end in site after the flight. Almost like there is only one gate? CLT > IND….

Many people procrastinate because they're waiting for their motivation to rise.

They forget that getting started is what leads their motivation to rise.

Passion is not a prerequisite for progress. It's often the result of progress.

Testing your assumptions early with rough prototypes is so much smarter/cheaper than building something expensive just to realize you got it all wrong. This is something we practiced w/ @publicinno colleagues led by @StephAWade. This was my prototype for working inside/outside.

@natehammitt This is wild both from a use of space question as well as loss of revenue.

Great graphic, I’d love to see some examples of this for urban parking craters across similar sized cities

Before taking a new job, don't forget to interview people about the culture.

Beware 4 deadly sins in the stories you hear:

1. Toxicity: people are treated like dirt
2. Mediocracy: low standards
3. Bureaucracy: all rules, no risks
4. Anarchy: pure chaos

A toxic boss stabs you in the back. A selfish boss holds you back. A supportive boss has your back and propels you forward.

Even more than performance, great managers invest in people. They promote your growth and well-being.

A leader's duty is to care. https://t.co/OgW1WT82mp

@CapitalOne @CapitalOne this isn’t loading within the app or in a browser?

@Apple & @tim_cook curious how I am supposed to interpret this message when you have had my MBP for a week.

[Deke Bowman @dsbowman]

@Apple & @tim_cook opportunity for improvement: update estimated pickup date on repairs. Provide a bit more information when estimated pickup date isn’t reached. Waiting on parts or some piece of information would be useful. “Technicians are working” not useful.

@AmericanAir Twice when checking in I have been prompted to upgrade. When prompted with a fee I decline and select a seat. Twice I have had to be assigned a seat upon boarding. If the passenger has not accepted the fee their selected seat should be honored.
