iPhone mirroring on MacOS does seem somewhat magical (apart from the occasional copy and paste issue)
The older I get the more convinced I am that having a positive outlook and growth mindset are the most important
Productivity hack which has been amazing me (but really shouldn't).
I put a timer a timer on for 10 minutes to do a task and don't allow myself any distractions until it's done. That's it!
Bit like pomodoro technique but I don't spend the entirety of my day like this.

That watch he buys Adrian is one of the ugliest watches I’ve ever seen!
“If he dies. He dies”
There is a strong possibility if you ring my intercom in the next 90 minutes you’ll get smashed in the face
Step back, I’m about to watch Rocky IV
My justification is it must be good if Keanu and Idris were up for being in it
I’m watching the Sonic 3 movie, second guilty pleasure of the evening after watching Gladiators!
I tried a few things like loading the mermaid.js code into cursor to have it edit it but I didn’t have much luck
Spot on. I wonder if part of it is Mermaid.js is not that mainstream so Claude doesn't have that much training data? Maybe because it's technical and visual the problem could be better solved by a more specialised technology?

No low-ball offers. I know what I got.

Salesforce do not plan to hire any software engineers in 2025, they report this is due to a 30% productivity boost from AI tools which has increased development velocity.
I'm interested if this is an industry trend www.salesforceben.com/salesforce-w...
Also correct me if I'm wrong, as it's been years since I read it, but I thought GTD advocates that the calendar is a "hard landscape" and should only have events that must happen and cannot be moved.
Is this a conscious decision to plan in a different way or has the book been revised?
Interesting approach. I've tried something similar but have often found urgent tasks derailing my plan.
Reminds me of the quote "No plan survives contact with the enemy"
Added to this the notifications are normally some nonsense LinkedIn has made up rather than anything I'm actually interested in
The main reason I dislike it is I don't always read the article straight away. Linked shows me how many notification I have in the browser tab which I find distracting.
Am I the only person who dislikes reading articles people have posted on LinkedIn (rather than their own website or something like Medium) or am I in the minority?
I've started writing again, but instead of writing some AI thought leadership I decided to write about how it's a faff to connect a Kindle to a Mac using USB-C petegraham.co.uk/kindle-faff/
