@jeff agreed. It needs a team of them. Overall storytelling, API and integrations, but then specialties like journalists, government, etc. I am going to lobby for budget to add to my Open Tech team at least one full time, and see if I can get other funding for others.

I spent 2010-2019 working for myself, and the last 3+ years in a great job. The view of my email inbox and the emotions it triggers are wildly different between these two states. I dread my inbox these days with all the people wanting things from me, and back in the day I loved seeing who wanted things from me.

@Mrfunkedude The wife cancelled all streaming services yesterday. We are both reading books, but have a shared audio book we do evenings. If we want to watch something bad enough we'll turn a service back on.

@jimandrews Ha! Good to hear. I am neck deep in the API for Breaking Changes, where I have all shows indexed and searchable so I can produce content from it. Gregor Hohpe * 100. Fun!

@andypiper Interesting. I feel like I used to be better at it too, and I am slipping in my old age. Writing is definitely key to grounding and applying constraints.

@llbbl Good for you!! It is rewarding and nourishing. I have to do it some days/weeks. I have also gotten better at dealing with it not being rewarding. My boss may not agree, but....

@jimandrews Really depends on the day and mood I am in. But yes, I normally have a checklist of what I am looking to accomplish and strict time constraints to keep me from falling in. However I am not always trustworthy once I am spelunking into the hole and get interested in something.

I am capable of going down almost any technological rabbit hole, the challenge is knowing when I should and when I shouldn't. I am constantly struggling with this in what I do in my work.

@WecanbeGyros I haven't found any. Makes me sad. I have been a lifelong NPR listener. Maybe with all of the journalist, podcast, and other creative talent here on Mastodon--something can emerge? IDK

@WecanbeGyros They lost me as a listener in the last couple of years because of this.

@jik @api @api it me ;-)

@jik Nice! Thanks! Added a supporting comment to the thread. I'll spread the word and maybe others can pile on.

@judell So I can abstract away baseUrl and token for each instance I am working with.

@judell Look under the environments tab. I have an environment for each instance.

@judell A collection is just a wrapper. I can make as big or as small as I like -- capability collections are just single use to reduce cognitive load and allow me to share individually.

@judell You suffer from same condition as me. Mouseover each collection and each one has a star and three dots.....everything you need is under three dots.

@ramsey Let me know if you struggle -- my goal is to make as frictionless for newbies as I can.
