And I bet self employment has been extra rough in this idiotic employer-driven market. Thinkin bout yโ€™all, too.

Thanks for saying! Yes Iโ€™ve worked to know this and now feel it. Whatโ€™s funny is Iโ€™m now waaay better at what I do than Iโ€™ve ever been. Because besides looking for work, I spend the full โ€œwork dayโ€ developing my craft, doing my own research and tracking it on my blog. So feelin pretty good :)

I hear you. Even with direct referrals, from someone at the company or who personally knows the HM, in this employer-friendly climate often amount to nada. Thanks for sharing the example here :)

Preaching to the choir! I know this to be true. Dubbed previously, if unofficially, as the teamโ€™s Chief of Staff - because of all the team setting, rituals, and building Iโ€™d do - only to be laid off. The team members left tell me productivity, drive, and morale are nearly gone. No surprise.

Indeed. So many of us do the overlooked care work and are even penalized. In a previous role, I was denied a promotion *because* I spent too much time helping others, apparently to the point that my work suffered (it didnโ€™t). They just couldnโ€™t see how helping others elevates the whole team.

Itโ€™s been decades since but I wonder how much time I lost because I choose other majors, hobbies, and jobs

Friendly reminder that itโ€™s ok to still be angry with high school math teachers who told you that youโ€™re bad at math.

Love this. I find that giving feedback is a great way to stay human, and tell someone you actually paid attention. We move on so quickly from things that, without taking a moment to acknowledge, we run the risk of losing value and meaning in what we do.

Yesterday I asked perplexity and ChatGPT the same question. Each gave the opposite answer. And when I told them what each said, they both said the other was right. This is what happened when ppl blindly trust LLMs.

This is absolutely the scariest part. Yesterday I asked perplexity and ChatGPT the same question. Each gave the opposite answer. And when I told them what each said, they both said the other was right. This is what happened when ppl blindly trust LLMs.

TL;DR -> modifying the autoship order proves so challenging that the only successful way to complete the process is to cancel the original order and create a brand new one.

When Autoship Fails to be Automatic: Task Analysis Case Study My user experience headache in attempting to add an item to my PetValue autoship order, requiring the need to cancel original and create brand new order.

Easy-to-use is the bare minimum for any digital experience. I tried, and failed, to add another item to my catโ€™s routine autoship food order. So you can imagine my frustration when no button exists called "Add Additional Items."

Artificial cases, good. But now we have a *misinformation* problem: ppl might trust doctors less, bc the perception might be ChatGPT is better at diagnosis, *since a widely published article like this can highlight positives over negatives of LLM use cases* [concerned ppl researcher over here ๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿป ]
