@Copeland309 I had to check and was relieved to know that genAI is still really fast at learning and correcting errors. Agree that you should always verify output for truth, but the speed of evolution is remarkable.

We loved @sboots' keynote this year so much, we’ve decided to make it available to everyone immediately. What Sean said was so important and so often quoted by others throughout the conference that we didn’t want to limit who could see it! https://t.co/uyMLxGPtvi

I'm part of a team working to help streamline the planning and development approvals system in Ontario. Improving system efficiency and functioning will remove some of the barriers to getting more homes built faster. On National Housing Day we share our first draft standard!

@torontolife Couple of follow-up questions to ask the execs:
1) What's the answer for people going back to offices that don't occupy the top tier of available space?
2) Everyone politely ignores the cost of attending the office. How much more does it cost workers to come to the office?

@RobButler Great admin and tech support people who can answer Qs. A good Org handbook with current info. A buddy. A list of people to have coffee chats with. A list of Slack channels to support my interests and work files. Hassle-free payroll and benefits. Regular manager 1:1s.

@WyattDuncan Prices listed in cents, not dollars. $1 in 1941 is worth about $20.25 today.

@Laura_Susann_NH Hi friend! Great to hear from you. There was plenty of woodshed time. My son and I are building a treehouse for his young cousins. Next vacation is to your timezone for wedding in Ireland.

[Jess Holmes @sprintmarathon]

Nice to come back from vacation to a love bomb from my colleagues. ❤️

@spncrd @photojennylee True facts. I just can't abide a loose faucet.

As a designer, I don't start with 'Why?' but with 'What?'. Usually followed closely with 'the fuck?'
