Made a handy list with AK based council / transport and weather accounts. #AucklandFloods https://t.co/FT2XtRK9Px

@konstructivizm @grok Is this real?

[Phil Howie @wows]

Love this. So simple. When did the web start looking so monochromatic?

[DHH @dhh]

Jason is so committed to bring color back to modern web design that our homepage literally pops a new vivid one every time you reload 😄 https://t.co/YtIREI07ya

@traskjd We even had our marketing lines wholesale cut and pasted in a previous gig. The product itself isn't and can't be the only differentiator.

@ChrisHeaslip @karlprosser But can you *talk* to AI Pastor?

[Phil Howie @wows]

@ChrisHeaslip I believe it’s called an pre-seed offering check 😘

[Phil Howie @wows]

Try just giving them a call.

TFW you search for one of your customers online, can't find them and discover they've renamed themselves.

[Phil Howie @wows]

Just deleted a cold email where they signed off as "Your friendly inbox intruder". 😐

Why does waiting for a build server that feels about 10x slower than my local machine feel a little archaic in 2024....

@lady_nerd Spot the child of the ‘90s! 😂

[Phil Howie @wows]

Drove over this today - incredible work @WakaKotahiAkNth! Thanks for making it possible for thousands of people to easily enjoy this part of the Coromandel again.

State Highway 25A opened earlier today—the road is now fully restored, with a new bridge over the slip caused by the severe weather earlier this year. But the work we've done wasn't just about repairing a road—it was about reconnecting communities and people.

What visual format are board papers you've prepared and/or consumed typically presented?

@sponno True - have used it once or twice. Not massively into the voice-over thing - but beggars can't be choosers I guess 🤷‍♂️

[Phil Howie @wows]

Does Spotify have a button to press that reads my mind and plays me something I like at random? "I'm feeling lucky"? #decisionparalysis

[Phil Howie @wows]

@sponno Seems like the best we get is a regularly updated news article - which is great, but sometimes doesn't have the entire context. Usually, someone sums the whole saga up in a newsletter-style blog post - but would be interesting to have that as a permanent developing story...

[Phil Howie @wows]

Is there a permanent home for events or news like this recent OpenAI dramas? Kinda want one place I can get an up-to-date summary but one that keeps current and has a permanent home. A bit like Wikipedia for news events... outside any particular publication perhaps... ?

[Phil Howie @wows]

@colinbowern Only give out access to those on as needed basis - and revoke it as soon as practical afterwards. Review this monthly.

[Phil Howie @wows]

@colinbowern 2FA enabled for everything - as much as possible. Make a copy of critical data regularly and store it somewhere else safe. Everything configured to auto-update / patch as BAU.
