What went right since October 2024?

So many things!

  • Work
    • I promoted someone
    • I failed to promote someone, but learned a lot and it was the right decision
    • We’ve had a couple of leadership offsites and they have been both pleasant and valuable
    • I’ve guided my team from AI-skeptic or AI-agnostic to AI-curious, and written a quick position paper to explain our approach to both using AI tools and designing for AI-powered experiences
    • UX people are strong participants in product trios, at long last
    • We’re hiring!
  • Home
    • We’ve caught up on a handful of long-overdue home projects, just in time for the summer heat. Curtains, blinds, gym flooring, patch and paint, more curtains… there’s more to do, always, but good progress after a bit of a stall
    • The ADU is now occupied
    • The girl is enjoying her six-week ballet intensive in a far-off state
    • I got my GMRS license. Say hello to WSIX524
    • Mr. Fixit has branched out into a little light metal work including repairing a watering can and making a house key easier for a blind person to use
