I have to do project management in my industry.

Make the big decisions first and focus on pain points/fatal flaws with stakeholders and subject matter experts. I've seen cases where projects go through several redesigns because the PM focused on easy design tasks first, then it turned out a later design task caused the early design tasks to need to be redone.

Ask people why certain decisions are being made. Keep these discussions one on one. You can often tell by the quality of the answer how good the reasoning is.

I'm in the museum sector.

Never pick something up to move it until you've seen the place where you're moving the thing and it's clear of junk.

It's safer to make two trips instead of one. It's safer to make three trips instead of two.

The best thing you can do for something old that looks like it's slowly falling apart is usually to leave it alone.

It's okay to not start in your ideal job on day one and to take sideways shifts to get closer to it. I went from phone monkey in a call centre, to a letter monkey, to a software tester, to a software business analyst (all at the same company), to a software product owner, to a software product manager. I gravitated back towards my stronger IT oriented passions over time.

King of England. Please don't visit the Palace, there's literally nothing to see.

If you're going to see the show and spot me in a side booth, please don't heckle. Yes she knows. Yes of course she knows. Yes he's a prick. Yes your money is being wasted on us, but we're all you've got in terms of benevolent rich people so live with it.

pirate: My dreams concern ccy off ramps. Remote work is our future.

At all costs, never ever answer any kyc/aml questions:

  • What's your name?
  • How old are you?
  • What country are you from?
  • Where do you live?
  • Can i have your phone number?

The truth is vastly overrated concept.

openssl rand -hex 20 <-- memorize this. Adjusting integer affects output length. Try it now. Now try is 20 times in a row. This is your name and password generator. My name is a71fe7b7ec46e0ae0a191004509af262cb2bbe99

Outing your identity has HUGE financial and legal repercussions. Not outting your own identity saves on: stress, time, filling out forms, and you can keep your income and house (a motel is insurance). There will be fees to be paid to ccy off ramps, but they are nothing in comparison.

If anyone insists, insist they give you their credit card. Then keep it. This is an important life lesson. Anyone can be de-systemed. And as soon as you internalize that ... the better. If you are not de-systemed, consider yourself de-systemed. Plan accordingly. I know folks who are de-systemed.

Make a telegram group for onboarding. Create invite links as needed. Then no need to exchange phone numbers. I'm ok with Russia viewing my communications. In fact, that's hilarious. Could use e2e encryption. Boris is busy anyway.

If you talk about coding always, you'll become immune to censorship. Normies brains cannot withstand such punishment. They'll find someone else to censor.

What? I can read the words but it's not making much sense to me.
