Thinking needs time away
Constant busyness kills reflection. Stepping away to let your mind wander might allow for your best breakthroughs.

Being where work happens helps you understand the complexity
Digital models and screens can only capture so much of the physical world. Following a parcel from the sorting terminal to a delivery locker is a powerful reminder that to improve the digital experience you must get a better understanding of the real work.

Use reserved phone numbers for examples
The phone number you invented could be real. But you can use reserved example numbers so you don’t risk bothering whoever it belongs to.

Did I miss something in my writing?
What if your writing came with a built-in critic? Mine does. An AI finds the seams in my thinking and publishes them right next to the text.

A podcast that creates itself, in a different voice
My notes now become 5-minute podcast episodes overnight, written and voiced by a chain of AI agents. The episodes sometimes contradict my own thinking, which is exactly the point.

The `OTP-Token` Email Header Field
A typical email-based OTP message could contain a header like the following, specifying an OTP code of 123456, and binding that code to the origin https://example.com: OTP-Token: "123456"; origin="https://example.com"mikewest.github.io - 2026‑10‑29
Jobba hemma eller på kontoret? ”Frågan är betydligt större än så”
Istället för att rådfråga kollegor använder man exempelvis AI-assistenter för att ställa frågor, bolla idéer och lösa problem. Det gör oss mer effektiva som individer, men minskar samtidigt vårt behov av att samarbeta med andra. När allt fler problem löses individuellt eller delegeras till AI – vad händer då med det kollektiva lärandet och innovationsförmågan?ingenjoren.se - 2026‑10‑27
Doing nothing at work
In my experience, it’s still possible to be a “high performing engineer” at 80% effort. In fact, it’s easier, because you’ll be less likely to make silly mistakes from stress, and you’ll be in a position to jump on the kind of high-impact tasks that deliver outsized returns.seangoedecke.com - 2026‑10‑16
