In 48 hours, countless Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes to neighboring countries. They need protection. When you donate, weโll match it up to $1,000,000, creating double the support.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ธ https://t.co/xCFL1Lptuw

Dealing with complexity is like crossing a river by feeling the stones (originally ๆธ็็ณๅคด่ฟๆฒณ)
There is unfamiliar territory, fast flow with murky waters. You may not know the next step until your foot is firmly on the ground. Probe and iterate.
The structure is necessary, but sometimes it can be a mental blocker. Doing something small is better than overthinking, time commitment, achieving goals.
I wonder if removing constraints of tracking and structure can increase productivity. I'm taking more notes with @RoamResearch, I don't think about structure. What if I apply the same to exercising, writing, reading? Just do it.
@amasad Define your requirements, 80% must have and be willing to train 20% on the job.
Mix the sourcing channels: social media, recruitment agencies, local talent, your personal network.
Be transparent: on how your interview process works, compensation range, existing challenges
@jjmasse@RoamResearch Notes at work is an obvious example. There is just too much overlap between everything happening. I covered it more in https://t.co/y0sxxHKVKZ
In the personal knowledge base, I see how saving money, note-taking, and health/exercising are connected by a compound effect
Reading a book while taking notes in @RoamResearch is much slower, BUT at least now I remember something and can even go look it up. And it adds to my graph, win-win.
@jjmasse@RoamResearch The graph grows over time, adding new connections every day (by reading books in my original example). It's the potential to discover ideas and understand concepts by association. The building blocks of new ideas are often embodied in existing knowledge.
@jjmasse@RoamResearch adds to my personal knowledge base, easier to discover related content and make interesting connections, like [[learning]] and [[writing]]
When you're still relatively new, use this time to bring new ideas and perspectives as an outsider. It's the time to question the current ways of doing things, challenge the status quo. Donโt forget there are usually good reasons things are the way they are.

You'll be lucky if there is documentation readily available. Your first few weeks are the perfect time to demand documentation. It's the only time toย ask stupid questions.ย And donโt forget to contribute to documentation as youโre learning things.
