Next week is a holiday, and then December is <em>madness<\/em>. I&#8217;ll do a few more posts in my <a href=\"https:\/\/angryweasel.substack.com\">other blog<\/a>, and then hit the ground running in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First thing worth reading is a short and pragmatic plea that on-call shifts last from <a href=\"https:\/\/arthur-johnston.com\/tuesday_to_tuesday\/\">Tuesday to Tuesday<\/a>. On my last team at Microsoft, our on-call shifts were Wednesday to Wednesday (which I sort of like even better), but the author makes some good points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just about every leader I know could be a better at delegation (and yes, I&#8217;m looking in the mirror as well). This article on <a href=\"https:\/\/makemeacto.substack.com\/p\/common-obstacles-to-effective-delegation\">Common obstacles to effective delegation<\/a> has a lot of great points and advice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I also enjoyed the opinions in this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/candost.blog\/learn-the-rules-of-promotions\/\">job promotions<\/a>. A lot of people get obsessed with promotions rather than the growth opportunities job changes can offer. Great advice in this article as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I&#8217;m infatuated with design, but know almost nothing about it. In fact, I was surprised that I&#8217;ve read <em>two<\/em> of the books in this list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrbutler.com\/collections\/top-ten-design-books\">Top ten design books<\/a>. Honestly, I&#8217;m not going to read all of them, but I&#8217;m definitely going to read some of them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And finally &#8211; for the few people out there who understand how AI can help them, and <em>also <\/em>understand the challenges in building effective solutions using AI, I discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/superduper-io\/superduper\">super duper<\/a>. It looks simple, effective, and I expect it to be massively underused by a lot of orgs who could benefit. Time will tell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s all for this week, and that&#8217;s all for 2025 while I take a FfF break. As always, thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First things first, I&#8217;m going to take the rest of the year off after today.
