The problem with the Hornets is that we set up to shoot a 3 every single play but we’re also horrible at shooting 3s. #hornets

Expecting the worse but hoping for… very little really #6nations

As one of my top 5 films, I wholeheartedly reject the idea of a labyrinth remake, but may go see it if they cut the trailer just right.

I wonder what Curser have up their sleeve for their next release. They must’ve know that VS Code team/Microsoft would do this.

My daughter just turned eight, I’m still useless at anything other than a basic ponytail. I bought a mannequin head to practice braiding and… 60 mins later I’m still shit. Dads send help!

Agree that it's certainly different, I'd argue that it allows us to be more aware, involved, and ultimately valuable. I feel like this is an evolution of leadership positions rather than a problem. Eng hierarchy is weighed down by decades of what came before, slow moving, by comparison design isnt.

If I’m writing something that’ll be seen by others in a professional context, I do tend to run it through AI to check my grammar. I can imagine it’s incredibly useful for non-native English speakers. Having AI write the actual content seems all kinds of wrong though www.wired.com/story/linked...

I bought my daughter a bearded dragon this weekend and now I spend my meetings wondering if it's bored and worrying that I'm not entertaining it enough in the daytime when she's at school.

I've been thinking a bit about the Jaguar rebrand. I can see why people would have issues with it when comparing it to the old, iconic British automaker. But when looking through the lens of a brand new EV company, I actually think it works.

I released this a few months ago, but this is still one of my favourite features on my iOS app Fight Scores. The ability to see how others are scoring a fight in real-time. fightscores.co

It’s from back in 2020 but I hadn’t read this article before. It’s a nicely balanced, incredibly insightful, and well written piece on leadership. I’d recommend you give it a read. www.svpg.com/product-lead...
