Following Mary Oliver’s instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.

To do well in this era of performance reviews, the fundamental advice remains the same - document your successes, be visible, shape the narrative. The ways of doing it are probably different - less face time, more written updates.

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

We are heading into the first performance review cycle since the ways of working shifted with AI. Everyone writes the self assessment scanning all past conversations, slack and email. Managers will use Claude to analyse performance.

@TheVikramMohan @ash_chowder Battha, Modha Rathri too were really good. Just not same league as Dorothy :)

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

Watched Dorothy. What a masterpiece. Do yourself a favour this long weekend and catch it on Netflix.

@pHequals7 Diwali long weekend 😛

PSA sealook on youtube will have your cat transfixed. Brainrot for cats.

@beastoftraal Thank you for pointing this out! I also thought there was something ever so slightly off about this video. I don’t think it was choreographed by someone well-versed in Indian dance forms either.

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

@Dubyafree It must be a glorious place to be at right now though

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

The career sweet spot right now is to be in an org whose leadership is into AI just enough to give employees Claude, but doesn’t really know its potential. You can come across as someone with godly superpowers and stand out.

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

@championswimmer lol. Yes it is. But clearly resonates with a lot of folks.

But also, not every org needs to be at the cutting edge of ai right now.

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

@rbkayz Haha I know, I know. In the short term I’m sure it’s great though.

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

@SageiEar Short term personal success 😛
I am not in that sweet spot

Need to know what the proprietor of Gunturs Restaurant prompted meta ai to end up with this thumbnail

@pHequals7 Remarkably Bright Creatures if you want something bright and sweet, yet thoughtful, and you like octopuses

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

@pHequals7 -Children of Time, if you haven’t already read it (sci-fi)
-Flesh by David szalay for the kind of fiction that makes you inhabit another person’s mind for a while and as a result your own worldview and empathy grows
- Mother Mary comes to Me for Arundhati Roy’s yummy writing

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

Thanks so much for the suggestions, everyone! We went to the one in new tippasandra (cute, small) and Ulsoor (super traditional and nice). Ate some chicken-egg rolls and lucchi kosha. Fun times were had! Pictured is the Ulsoor pandal with beautiful hand drawn decorations.

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

Bengalis of Bengaluru, what are some good pujo pandals around Indiranagar / Koramangala / Ulsoor with good food stalls and vibes??

[SpuddyKat @spadjay]

@sajithpai Thanks Sajith! Did it have good food stalls? 🌝
