@katarinaore How do you plan the demo video? Do you write a script before? Nicely done, looks polished

@mattpocockuk @jmddotfm Instead, I let the bash loop read prd.json, so that it’s the orchestrator’s responsibility to say when to stop (ie not start another session).

I still need to find a way to make the loop resilient to unblocking blocked items.

@gethalfbaked Pretty please 🙏

Managers treat self-care like an afterthought—until burnout hits.

These 6 principles keep me sane:
1. Protect your time
2. Log off by 5
3. Say no more often
4. Prioritize recovery
...

5. Automate and delegate
6. Measure energy, not just output

Hosting a meeting is like hosting a party—you set the tone.

Team leaders must energize meetings to boost engagement.

How?

1. Have an agenda
2. Share your screen while note-taking
3. Call out people by name
4. Gently keep things on topic
5. Use silence strategically

When I became a manager, I saw 1:1s as a chore.

In my first 1:1, my colleague thought we were done after 5 minutes.

Then I asked about their career.

30-minutes-over-time later, I knew I was onto something.

Here are 3 must-have conversations every manager should have regularly

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face".

When adversity hits, it’s easy to lose focus as managers.

Let principles be your anchors.

These 3 powerful Stoic quotes remind us of what it takes to be a leader:

As a new manager, i batched my one-on-ones.

By the fifth, they were talking to a zombie.

15-minute gaps changed everything.
