Skills remind me of this joke by Mitch Hedberg:

“An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an 'Escalator Temporarily Out of Order' sign, just 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience”

Skills, temporarily docs. Sorry for the convenience.

@paulg I heard they made the test less long because people have shorter attention spans now

@peduarte I think your video's pace is a little too slow for this platform, and for a scroller to invest in. What's the hook + payoff? The message is vaguely abstract.

I'd try a video like: This is what Glaze can build.
Or: Sarah built X with Glaze.

Quick edits. Show don't tell.

@clairevo This was driving me nuts. I had to tell it:

Don’t be overly terse and use excessive jargon. Be succinct but fully explain sentences and don’t try to pack too much into fragments and sentences, that require me to slowly deconstruct them. Just spell out what you’re trying to say.

The iCloud sync option for @obsdmd should come with a huge disclaimer.

This is my second time running into data corruption / loss issues.

Fortunately this time around I had some backup safeguards in place, although one of them failed. Will need to post-mortem in the AM.

Imagine being on vacation this past week during the Fable trial. Seems unfair

[tiki @thetikiverse]

hoping this changes my attitude about weekends from:

"lazy recovery after the week" to "thoughtful setup so I can win the week"

[tiki @thetikiverse]

make them weekstarts, not weekends

experimenting with starting my calendar on Saturday, instead of Sunday/Monday

@devwithblake @steipete It could be tart
