- Fish is fast. My initial impression is it feels much faster on startup than ZSH.
- OMF is a handy package manager for Fish

Today I tried to schedule a bloodwork appointment that required fasting for 12 hours. I aimed for the earliest slot possible. Booking it was much harder than it needed to be.

I’ve been binging the Ultra podcast from Rachel Maddow. It is riveting.
Some things I’ve learned so far…
- Sitting members of Congress were trying to overthrow the government.
- Holocaust denial began just after WWII ended.
- McCarthy was a bigger pr*ck than I realized
- How much the Chicago Tribune carried water for the Nazis.
This is history I wish I learned in school.

The new iPhone mirroring feature is really cool. If you’re having problems getting it to connect, make sure you have Internet sharing turned off.
If you use your Mac as a Wifi hotspot features like this fail and don’t really tell you what’s wrong.

Someone once said to me “I can tell how much we’ve done this year by looking at the product releases on our blog.”
I definitely had my work cut out for me.
Executive stakeholders often want to see a roadmap plotting out the course over the next year.
As product managers, we grudgingly go through the exercise of filling up a roadmap – laying out projects side by side over the course of the year. We know full well it doesn’t feel right but maybe aren’t sure why.
Well, there are two problems with this. It damages culture and, it never gives you the opportunity to really operate in a Lean build-measure-learn cycle.
To address this you need to focus on outcomes, not output. But, how do we enact change when an organization is focused on output?
Start with this, for each product you are working on, identify the key drivers that will make it a success. Then, ask the executive stakeholders what they think the key drivers are. If you or the other stakeholders don’t know, that’s red flag. Get in the habit of leading with KPIs and talking to the org about aligning the outcomes of the features with the goals of the business.
You can read more thoughts on transitioning from output based roadmaps to outcome based roadmaps below.

I remember joining a company, I was told, if you receive any gifts from vendors, you have to let your manager know and they get raffled off to the team.
Because ethics matter, but apparently not in #SCOTUS

I just released the latest version of ClipDish that integrates ChatGPT to provide an in-app sous chef to answer cooking questions.
It remains to be seen how the rest of the community likes it but it’s become my new favorite feature.

Nitter is handy if you need to read Twitter but don’t want to actually be on Twitter.
The Nitter extension for Chrome makes this even easier. Anytime you go to a Twitter use the extension redirects to Nitter.

After watching Picard season three I am giving Strange New Worlds another chance.
It’s not perfect, but it definitely has a more Star Trek vibe then Discovery. 📺

I’ve been having this really annoying issue with my iPad lately. It just forgets how to connect to Wi-Fi. The only way to get it to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot is to restart the device.
I will probably have to wipe and reinstall iPadOS.

Use “Hide my Email” from Firefox & Chrome
I just found out my email address was part of the Twitter 2021 data breach.
I’ve recently started using iCloud+ Hide my Email feature. It’s helpful but annoying that it only is integrated into Safari. I regularly switch between Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Today, I discovered this extension which lets me use Hide My Email in Firefox and Chrome. I’m testing it and so far it works really well.
