Thanks for All the FishCommunities are hard. This is true whether you’re talking about in-person communities or online communities, but for right now I’m mostly talking about online communities. They’re hard to set up and cultivate, they’re hard to maintain and manage. The …

I‘ve ranted before about LinkedIn’s AI … erm … offerings, in which they take all of the accurate data which you have diligently input about yourself and your career, run it through some janky AI that someone’s dad made in the shed, and output a load of slop so inaccurate that you …

When I launched this blog two years ago, I wouldn’t let myself believe I’d attend to it with any regularity, and as such didn’t spend much energy on thinking of a title. So “jmac’s blog” it was, with the URL blog.jmac.org. An acceptable URL, but a terrible, forgettable not-title. …

post from Creating a framework for living well
