So far I <em>like<\/em> it &#8211; and can see myself <em>recommending<\/em> it, but it&#8217;s also not (yet) as awesome as the reviews make it out to me. I&#8217;ll update y&#8217;all when I finish it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Every once in a while, someone forwards me the Choose Boring Technology post from Dan McKinley &#8211; which I like&#8230;but I often push back on it a bit. It&#8217;s like I learned in college music theory courses &#8211; we spend almost two years learning rules (choose boring), but then talked about <em>breaking <\/em> the rules (i.e. taking risks &#8211; of course based on the rules. Anyway &#8211; that&#8217;s a whole blog post. <br \/>This week, I found an article from last year that says <a href=\"https:\/\/morepablo.com\/2022\/04\/against-boring.html\">&#8220;Boring&#8221; is just one strategy<\/a>. And it&#8217;s right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And finally, this Indian tea shop is the first (as far as I know) to ride the wave of Chat GPT.
