@dickiebush Who doesn’t want you to know that? Why does there have to be a villain? Can’t we just say walking 15,000 steps a day is life changing and stop there?

@AskCiti How do you create a new online account for a new checking account that was created because there was fraud on the old one? It can’t be done via the app. The branch sent me to support. Support takes an hour to tell me nothing.

If you disappear for 6 months and do these things you will be unrecognizable

- pick up some kind of accent
- wear an eyepatch
- practice walking with a limp
- mess up your face somehow. I don’t know, squint a lot?

When you return, go to a town where they never heard of you

@SystemSunday @FerraroRoberto Reflecting on goals is part of the AAR method yet you include a quote saying they’re for losers. Systems are invaluable, but that doesn’t mean goal setting is not

@Grady_Booch I was once told to get the packets to the other side of the world faster. I said if I could figure that out I'd win the Nobel prize for breaking the speed of light

Any guesses on the generic term the industry will ultimately settle on? NeuMo, NNP, AIPU, AISIC, Aiccellerator, MLPU, AIGPU? Full disclosure, I made some of these up. https://t.co/m6I7lfFLKq
