Great thread:

📣Today in "why are librarians & archivists important": we had an enquiry about a book that I couldn't find anywhere (not just in the Library, but even *existing* 🤨). So I asked the enquirer where their reference came from. They'd used #ChatGPT to ask about an 18thC ancestor...

I've never stopped using RSS feeds and my feed reader remains today my primary tool to read, research, and analyze thousands of pieces of information *per day*.

I could never do what I do with newsletters.

Don't kill RSS feeds.

Some people plan for greatness their whole lives.
Other people stumble into destiny.
But there is another way up the mountain.
Each day brings a little goal. It is all that matters. Tomorrow it is replaced.
The future stays in the corner of the eye, a wild animal, easily spooked.

Whenever I start dunking on large companies for treating employees like crap, my DMs light up with a shining beacon of light as a counterexample: @VMware.

Seriously, that does more to shape my opinion of them than billions in marketing spend ever could.

A person just getting to know your system has superpowers to see the issues. Paying attention to observations from new hires can be pretty beneficial.

You may not always have time to address things in that phase, but taking notes or discussing what they’re seeing can pay off.

An important (and relatively short) thread

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]
