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.

Hybrid Work Is a Mandate Problem
The problem is not simply where people work. The problem is whether the organization has created the conditions for good work to happen without relying on proximity to compensate for what is missing.niclasnorgren.com - 2026‑10‑12
Hey Platforms: Your Violent Content Policies Are About To Meet The Pentagon’s Firing Squad
There is one angle here that we can talk about that most other places won’t: whether hosting the livestream would violate the platforms’ own rules — and whether they’ll simply ignore (or rewrite) those rules to do it anyway. While it’s probably perfectly legal in the US to stream the execution, it still might violate the various platform rules that most sites have set up for themselves.techdirt.com - 2026‑10‑12
Attack of the Vibe Coded Photoshop Clones
A vibe coded app is, in human hours, not only a few days old but closer to two or three years old. If a brush engine or transform tool works badly after the human equivalent of three years of development that is a demonstration of bad planning or an AI model not doing a good job.shokunin.studio - 2026‑10‑07

Hyrox: They Took Our Clock and Trademarked It
It’s well known that Boston needs to decline many applicants who actually qualified, since it doesn’t have permission to add runners. Long-time readers know the mantra: Tell me what constrains you, and I’ll tell you where your strategy should focus. Hyrox went indoors, which removes weather, road closures, and permits in one move.gadallon.substack.com - More of my collected links...
