Just Early Days. Beep Boop.

I've been spending time with a few AIs, been trying different setups, and seeing how they work together. You know, how far they can be pushed before things get weird. It's less about what they do and more about how they think, how they miss, how they guess. This is just early days, but the patterns are starting to show. You?

Nothing Like a Survey

Darren — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 21:37:24 +0000

This survey includes no survey formatting what.so.ever. So just reply like a normal hoomyn.

What should I post about? here's some things I do and/or like

PMing - presently - although since about 2001 almost everything I've done has been with a PM lense

QAing - haven't done it in a few years, but gaaaaawwwwwd I used to love breaking things

UX/UI - cause why not? Everything should be pretty and easy to use

Change Management - Yup, have done a tone of stuff here too

Training/Learning - little known fact - have a cert from OISE in this somewhere, probably using it as a drink coaster ( it was a VERY fancy frame, people!! )

Improv - cause this is.was my real passion, but sadly, doesn't pay much. However, being in that flow, amiright? Floooooow. Improv is now coming into it's own in the business world.

..there's more, but that where my head's at right now..

Feel free to throw down what you are interested in below as well.

My Summer Vacation!

Making the usual 'first post' obligatory Hello World post. Just like back in grade school when the first class back after summer was an oral presentation on what you did on your vacation.

Me: Longtime viewer of Dev.

From Canada - lived in Toronto for eons but moved to Edmonton a year or so ago the be near the ~~wildfires. er.~~ I mean mountains. But boy oh boy does this province get wildfires!!

Anyhooooo. hello and etc. I'm not sure what I'll have to contribute but almost every course I take suggests I should be blogging and posting what I learn. So here I am.

Thank you for wasting your time with me. We can eat gummy bears and sit in the shade and watch the summer turn to fall together.
