Loved this line: "The most valuable skills often emerge from the intersections between disciplines, not from their cores." There's really much to learn from working with others. I hope more people do approach collaborating in this manner, to make interactions more worthwhile 😄 char.blog/generalist

A few months ago, I took a call with a candidate that I decided not to move forward in the process to explain why. Just got a really lovely note from them about how they'd taken the feedback and improved their portfolio and had a few successful interviews since then. I needed that. ❤️

All games of Chess are 4D. It’s not as impressive as it sounds.

My partner time-qualified for the Boston Marathon this year. Last fall she had a brain bleed, got brain surgery and many months of recovery (she's only now starting to run again). She wrote to the marathon to ask for a deferral, even offering a note from her surgeon. Got a form denial days later. 😡

Happy Saturday. 🥩

Okay that's pretty cool of Google Fi.

An evolution all designers eventually need to go through is from always desiring consistency to understanding the value of planned inconsistencies.

Throwback to when Yuzu was just a little guy. 😭

This feed is now just me adding dog dopamine to Bluesky for the greater good.

Feel like others might need to see this as much as I did.

About to braise some short rib ragu, using that homemade chicken stock from the other night.

Keep catching myself fully clenching my jaw today.

Uh I'm sorry, the tutorial is how long?

Stock day.
