Notes for week 01 of 2023
Shorter week, but somewhat quite productive, possibly because I worked on improving my scheduling. I finally declared a release of a glossary for a ubiquitous language for Productboard, although I refuse to call it as such. I am also very ready to hand it over to our new high profile hire and let him sort out the remaining 20% of work (with the proverbial 80% of time).
Another attempt at writing died in the editor’s kill zone. On the bright side, the issues is that I tried to conflate three thoughts into a single text, and decoupling may yield both better results and more content for this blog.
The Overton window of my personal futures continues to be uncomfortably wide.
