There are some real opportunities to generate alternative presentations of internal information that could be really useful for onboarding, also cross function alignment and to provide alternative media formats so people can choose the most effective for their learning.
I didn't find them this week

RFCs all contain diagrams also. This exercise really highlighted to me the power of diagrams as those diagrams that are all differently produced and are not standardised all carry so much information for the reader that gets missed in the processing

I do think for it to have been more useful I could have also given documents that hold more context as I realised that RFCs always have a tonne of implied and institutional context. Perhaps that's a problem too

Aren't engineers always trying to automate something manual?

Recently I tried creating an audio clip from Google's notebook LM by feeding it a set of our RFCs. What came out was so high that it could have been talking about anything "So think of it like, uhm, you know how you have to do things manually sometimes? They're basically trying to automate that"

Thank you, @bsky.app! I’ve just found you, and it feels like you’ve taken me back several years in my morning routine. It’s such a joy to scroll through tech posts rather than random Instagram scrolling ❤️
