The most passive sentence ever uttered when someone says “they don’t have it”. What this really means… I probably haven’t, but I didn’t read it. I’m overloaded and have no time to read it. I saw it, but chose to ignore it for other priorities. I don’t use that medium, so there is no value in it going there. Take your pick, ask the receiver which category they fall into, and then figure out your next step from there in how to work with them. “I Sent it to you” isn’t a path to making things better.

Shackleton’s Journey
Greg Thomas
One of the first leadership books I ever read was “Leading at the Edge” which centered around Shackleton’s journey to the Antarctic under horrific conditions while keeping his team together and alive. The copy I have is older than this one, but here it is if you haven’t read it. I stumbled across it, found it on a shelf at work one late night, and brought it home to read – one of the best leadership books I’ve ever read. So it was pretty cool to see this expedition to find his shipwreck here, after all those years, where his …

How do you measure Productivity?
Greg Thomas
By how much do you produce, and what do you accomplish? Look, it’s not a rocket science type of goal, you do work, you are productive. You don’t do work; you are not productive. Don’t make it complicated, but make sure you’re always using that metric. Doing work and delivering at the end of the week, means you were productive. Want more?

Code Like an Artist
Coding will always be a creative endeavour to me – forever and ever. Use a different Framework. Try out a new SDK. Connect to a new API or MCP Integrate with another platform. Use Dependency Injection. Scope your Agent. Trigger from an Event. Any and all of these can be decided and created in a variety of different ways, and they can all be done creatively and with reckless abandon. Don’t code like a machine, code like an artist.

What’s Your Reset Limit
Your limit will reset unless you want to pay more money for more tokens to do more work. Or your AI can take a break. Kind of like people on your team, you can push them for a solid 3 – 4 hours and give them a break or watch their output diminish as they become more tired. Now imagine how that feels to watch, giving your AI the break and not your team. Hint: You’re giving the wrong one the break. Want more?

The Element of Fun
In anything you do, there should always be an element of fun to it. Otherwise, why do it? When it comes to writing code, I will forever love console apps, and even now, I use AI to help me make cool pictures and have fun with them. It’s probably an early program or back to the i386 days, but it’s fun to see a little ASCII dinosaur moving across the screen. The app works and does stuff too, but yeah, that’s the fun stuff.
