Justin Leatherwood reacted on thisThis is example of an amazing collaboration of design + code and just do it approach 🎉Justin Leatherwood reacted on thisThe best ideas don’t always come from roadmaps or strategy decks. Sometimes they come from someone noticing a small frustration and deciding it’s worth solving. When team members are given ownership and are encouraged to pursue good ideas, those observations can make a big impact. ➡️ Swipe to see how Piotr and Marcin made a new interactive office map for the Zurich office. This is just one of many stories like this at EF. #WeAreEF

We all prefer to work with masters of their craft. What’s new: you can’t afford to miss out on the amplification agents have on your output

Justin Leatherwood reacted on thisJustin Leatherwood reacted on thisSo... I've been running an experiment and figured I'd share the results. For the past few weeks, I've been using a fully automated Zapier workflow to generate and post my LinkedIn content. Yeah, including this post about the post. The setup: * RSS feeds from MIT Tech Review, Smashing Magazine, HBR * Zapier automation fires when new articles drop * Custom AI prompt that writes in my voice (apparently) * Auto-posts every Monday at 10am The numbers: * 3 posts so far in ~14 days * 1500 impressions * 495 users reached * 150% increase in visibility * Zero minutes spent writing slop about AI How it works: RSS trigger → Filter for AI/web/design keywords → OpenAI with custom prompt → Send to spreadsheet to log post and notify me → Delay until Monday → LinkedIn post → Update spreadsheet to mark as posted Best part is, it works! It's very silly, but man I ain't turning it off. If you're job hunting and need the boost or just want to sling some AI slop I'm happy to help you set it up. P.S. If my AI posts look like other people's posts... well do the math. We're just being slung the slop all day. See you next Monday at 10am! #AI #Automation #LinkedIn

Justin Leatherwood liked thisJustin Leatherwood liked thisAt my last job, my calendar looked like this. At my new job I have one to two meetings a day tops. Yesterday I had a full days worth of meetings for various reasons and at the end of the day I reflected on how I was feeling. Exhaustion. It’s amazing what you get used to overtime. Take pause in your life to try and see your bigger picture. You may be surprised at what you’ve been putting up with over time. Not once have I looked back and said man, I miss all those meetings. Only the people.

Justin Leatherwood liked thisWow, big moves in the certification world. Good for Dr. Bronners for living their values and bringing attention to the fact that the B Corp standards have been watered down!Justin Leatherwood liked thisDr. Bronner's—the highest-scoring B Corp in the world—will not renew our certification this year due to B Lab's failure to protect the integrity of the standard. Despite our multi-year effort urging B Lab to strengthen its standards, they have allowed the subsidiaries of multinational companies—that have histories of socially & environmentally destructive practices in their supply chains—to obtain the certification & use it to greenwash their branding. While some companies certified as B Corps do take responsibility and certify all major supply chains to credible eco-social criteria with on-the-ground audits, they are unfortunately a minority and this is not required by B Lab—most glaringly in the case of large multinational companies & their enormous supply chains. As a purpose-driven company committed to social & environmental justice, Dr. Bronner’s can no longer share the B Corp certification & logo with corporations that do not align with our values. We hope our exit will prompt necessary & overdue action, and that allies who remain B Corp Certified will continue to push to improve the standard from the inside.

I know remote development is a hot item these days, but I’ve worked totally remotely in two different roles in my career, including right before COVID made it the norm, and I found the lack of visibility to be quite high. I missed out on the impromptu team gatherings and the "water cooler conversations" where a lot of the real project planning and architectural direction happens. In my experience, juniors are timid to "bother you" with "stupid questions", when all they need is to see a smile when they approach to show that they're always welcome for feedback and mentorship. I can inject myself when I overhear a C# developer "just use 'unsafe'" because it lets the code compile. Or hear a developer strugle hours with some code that just requires me to slide my chair over and point them in the right direction. Until AR really hits its peak and we can all work in a virtual room together (where is my flying car?), I don't see a solution to this. For me, I prioritize hybrid or onsite, but I am also an extrovert, and love the co-location with my team.
