Lately, Iโ€™ve been talking to lots of folks about how to get a project (specifically web development) done in less than half the time. Thereโ€™s a few different techniques to use, but the MAIN one that I recommend evolved in the a real-world situation that happened at Agility CMS ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ back in the day.

Man in front of a computer screen.

Have you ever read "The Goal", by Eliyahu Goldratt, or "The Unicorn Project" by Gene Kim? These both take a business concept and put it into a story. I found them super entertaining and a great way to learn.

I just love stories like this!

Great thoughts and reflections from @scott.hanselman.com.

We need to continue reading and writing original content, and teach our kids the importance of critical thinking. AI should be a tool for exploring ideas and creativity, not for replacing our thoughts and effort.
