@XOptimiser @levelsio I had some cinnamon tea directly from the tree somewhere in the mountains north of Taichung. Was incredible, very sweet without sugar!

@bigcontentguy England fans don’t “learn” football chants, they just get auto-subscribed to the local gossip multicast. One bloke hears a lyric once and the whole stand is running the protocol stack by kick-off.
Social latency: near-zero.
Packet loss: only from pints.

@vboykis Got to hit that reverse conway maneuver!

The Russell Ackoff version "The righter we do the wrong thing, the wronger we become."

[Alex Lieberman @businessbarista]

I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee.

It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency.

It says there are 5 levels of work:

Level 1: “There is a problem.”

Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.”

Level 3: “Here’s the problem, here are some possible causes, and here are some possible solutions.”

Level 4: “Here’s the problem, here’s what I think caused it, here are some possible solutions, and here’s the one I think we should pick.”

Level 5: “I identified a problem, figured out what caused it, researched how to fix it, and I fixed it. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.”

Using this framework, here’s what I say to every new employee…

You will live at Level 4 from Day 1 and as we build trust you will rise to Level 5.

Being high agency doesn’t just mean tackling problems in this way. It means your entire way of working should be oriented to being a Level 4+ employee.

Plz feel free to steal it as well.

And ty @stephsmithio for the framework!

@thenanyu There we go, the Russell Ackoff view "The righter we do the wrong thing, the wronger we become."

[Matt Childs @mattec]

@thenanyu This is the 'Doing the thing right' pyramid. We need the 'Doing the right thing' pyramid to go with it.

[Matt Childs @mattec]

@thenanyu Whilst looking at this I found my self thinking this is great, but it's missing knowing when to fix something or not.

@BenGeskin I got the ultra thin magsafe battery & waterflosser yesterday in 台中 store for half the price it would be in the UK 🥳

One tip from my make-interfaces-feel-better skill is using `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` for values that update.

It makes digits equal width, similar to monospace fonts. Keep in mind that some fonts change the appearance of numerals when this is used.

[Cloudflare Developers @CloudflareDev]

Introducing the new /crawl endpoint - one API call and an entire site crawled.

No scripts. No browser management. Just the content in HTML, Markdown, or JSON.

Why is Defiance always on @BBCiPlayer, does the whole thing break if it's removed?
