  • I think that’s the kind of thing that hits me with “reads innaccurate to the situation” vibes, and usually allows me to see the artifice in the actions presented less emotionally.

    I actually try to intentionally trigger this when signing up for things online; there’s no reason a commercial company needs my actual real name. So if my name is Michael, I might sign up as Mikey or just M, to remind myself of the artifice being presented ongoingly when they email me for a new promo. Just enough to remind myself that fundamentally its always a sales pitch.










  • This assumes the project is structured well enough that team members are working within the scope of their actual expertise.

    I’m working on a nightmare project right now, which started in January, is expected to run untill at least the end of the year, and has multiple launch phases captured within a non-standard numbering system. People are expected to give their complete attention to this project, while simultaneously working their day jobs. There aren’t a lot of experts, so everyone is expected to step up and contribute wherre they can. However the few experts we have are being stretched very thin and asked to complete tasks they’re not trained in and have no background, like validation scripting and testing. How do you eat the elephant when you haven’t been given the tools to support it?
