Substack isn’t your friend. Substack is trying to work you into a place where they can squeeze you. You are the frog in the slowly boiling water.

If a client (or stakeholder, or founder) only uses the word ‘quality’ to try and assess design work, I'd argue they often don't quite know what they mean by that.

Three episodes in, and I’m impressed. It strikes a great balance in tone, some weird mix of humour, fear, and existential dread. Keen to see how it develops.

Still thinking about what an eviscerating insult "This book reads as if it were punched into a phone while the author was hiking" would be if it appeared in a review.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Getting into running to supplement the tennis I play, especially in winter, when the weather often disrupts the possibilities for play.
Running shoes are insane, they all seem like they were made in a distant future.
