Week 47 of 2023 Talk: How to approach technical problems I held a talk for a company internal event (dev week: talks and events focused around the development discipline). See the relevant page (I’ll make the recording available after I pieced it together). It completely took up my focus for Mon-Wed and some of last week as well. I went with a very interactive format that asks the audience to propose how they would approach a given problem that I presented and then step by step revealing more information as they take the right steps and ask the right questions.

Week 46 of 2023 Update for the No Complaints challenge Plenty of resets this week. While the absolute number of fails is not decreasing, I’m noticing a shift from vocalizing complaints/cursing to only thinking them (external -> internal.) There were a lot of judgments of myself and others. I did stop myself multiple times from swearing or complaining. Swearing generally is getting better, though I’ve noticed some phrases utilizing “fuck” or “shit” are hard to shake.
