I arrived early to an appointment and decided to thumb text a post through my phone. The mobile UX is pretty good! I have friends and family with these stories of survival. They have been shot at, blown up and tested in ways which I have not been tested. However, in my own, comparatively diluted …
TLDR Just a quick post that offers 3 simple steps to a top level New Year plan, along with some hints about what I will be focusing on in 2023. Step 1: Reflection Every year I write a PRD (Personal Reflection Document). OMG, no I do not call it that. But each year I read …
