<p>Two things:<p>CRM with agent baked in that can properly do stuff. No idea why attio/twenty are soooo bad at this. It's a table. getcrme.com / <a href="https://github.com/ChristianSch/crme" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ChristianSch/crme</a><p>and gargoyle, an activitypub server with a (theoretically mastodon compatible UI) <a href="https://github.com/myfedi/gargoyle" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/myfedi/gargoyle</a>. Was annoyed at the homogenous fediverse dev teams out there that don't want their precious service federate with others. I want more federation (tested it with bookwyrms and lemmy for now. Mastodon/GTS also working ofc) and a pretty UI and not waste time with weird identity politics. You do you. I want an open fediverse, not a filter bubble. And GTS was too hard to hack on.</p>

<p>Damn. I tried using it yesterday in a conversation about mixing my own carb drings and electrolytes (continuing from opus 4.6) but fable rejected it for whatever reason. Not sure how I could use fructose and maltodextrin for anything shady, but ok. And now it's gone and I couldn't even test it once! Dammit</p>

<p>Glad I'm not the only one. Almost every factual thing with new opus is wrong (and it now even happens with 4.6?). I asked it about car stuff yesterday and it totally misrepresented how a car axle even looks like fundamentally. Today I talked about my CV and it was just plain wrong. I don't know what happened, it wasn't like this a few weeks back and I'm even considering cancelling claude alltogether. GPT 5.5 for coding is fine and way more stable, but regular work is just broken.</p>

<p>Walking a lot is beneficial for so many other reasons. As an ultra/trail runner I use it for supplemental training so I walk 35 minutes to the office (and the same back) at a minimum. I take stairs most of the times vs the elevator. It's easier to be mobile, you don't even think about it. Even on rest days. Increases my caloric burn, helps me regulate, boosts mood, gives me time to call people, think about stuff. I love this lifestyle. Highly recommended!</p>

<p>> account management relationships<p>in my experience hetzner does have that. my VP of infra had regular contact with them, was quite important actually because we had scaling needs they couldn't deliver on and we had timelines. hetzner still has issues getting enough intel servers on it seems</p>

<p>What a load of horsecrap. Google was never good at usability or UX. But that's a new low. This is ambiguous as it gets and good UX is opposite of that. If I need to undo half the stuff that happened or an AI starts to do stuff I don't want ot because I am moving my mouse in a certain way I'd just get angry and turn it off.</p>

<p>Totally agreed! I think good orgs that run well have a good feedback process and ownership between the individual teams. In my experience, the closer they work together, the more visible the impact is on ROI.
The less context everybody has, the higher the risk that an initiative goes sideways and doesn't fully match the intent.<p>And yeah, cutting features and offloading debt is important. I love that part when starting an engagement! It's a bit of work to check critical execution paths and how customers actually use a product, but it's a good excercise for everybody to see the relationship between revenue and code.<p>This all sounds easy and in reality it's not the hardest, but for some reason no one is doing it.</p>

<p>Meetings aren't even the worst resource wasters. Wrong initiatives, features, apps/platforms/services are. They capture future resources in form of maintenance and complexity with them.</p>

<p>I do tech dd, exit readiness and post merger integration in tech companies and this is my daily bread. The biggest lever I have: connecting initiatives to ROI/bottom line impact. It's incredible how blind product/software teams run. So much to do but most of it won't make any money and just feels productive. Connecting activities and work directly towards revenue is very important.<p>If your company runs well: won't hurt you much that you're not doing this. Otherwise this will be your end. And that really hurts because you lose the economical impact of the product and the jobs.</p>

<p>This website is absolutely horrible to use. We adhere to UX standards for a reason. That is familiarity so people don't have to think about how to use things. This website feels weird and I dropped out before I could read what it's about (there's also a reason that the landing page tells you what problem is being solved).</p>

<p>or efficiency is more important because you have a high load of people you need to interact with. I was a grammer nazi back in the day but stopped caring because the ROI is minimal and I've got shit to do that's more important. so maybe it's the same for them</p>
