From what I learned in my MBA that specialised in digital transformation I would advise against developing a product where the value proposition depends on the user adopting a new behaviour. To me that suggests your product isn’t fulfilling

The best manager I ever had was a compassionate man. He was super kind and patient, but he was also firm and fair. He was consistent in enforcing rules and regulations, but he also understood human factors really well. He was not authorita

“Thinking, Fast and slow” by Daniel Kahneman Surprised no one has recommended it. It’s like an explanation of how we think, and how we should think. My only caution with this book is it represents “thinking” from a Westernised concept of

It’s easy to answer the question of worst job… I worked at a small private hospital that did mostly orthopaedic, and cosmetic procedures, and lots of little day case procedures as well. It was hands down the most toxic work environment I’d

No I would not apply to another position at a company that ghosted me. I too see it as a symptom of corporate dysfunction.

For a thing I am a part of, we use templates that were written by lawyers, adapt them to our circumstances and then the board just decides whether they’re adequate or not. No AI necessary and way cheaper.

I would not do it for $50 because it’s worth way more than that. I’d also not do it because it’s just another dataset about my life that can be exploited to my detriment on a personal level. However, I think there’s an ethical dilemma if yo

When ChatGPT was cool in 2023/2024 I used it a little bit for a few things, but I decided I hated how “perfect”/“robotic”’everything it wrote sounded. I actually now have a preference for my grammatically incorrect writing. My ema

And on the topic of psychiatry there’s also things I don’t think humans are ready to let AI do. I can see how some assessments could be done easier with AI, and how some therapies could also be done using AI… But can you imagine a chronic

Sure. When we started, the younger son was 8 years old and the older son was 10 years old. At first I did it with cash and they didn’t have bank accounts, but I found the problem was the younger one would “misplace” his savings money all th

No, because their savings accounts actually have fairly decent interest rates for kids accounts. However, I do give them extra money on birthdays and Christmas. Also, when they do really good things, (ie, achieve something good at school)

I tip wine down the sink regularly. Usually because it’s been gifted to me, and I don’t really like to drink alcohol. So… I might have a glass of wine in the presence of the gifter and then when they’re gone, tip the rest down the sink.
