Spent all Saturday fixing the fence and the dog found the new gap in about four minutes. Back to the hardware store.
Most people will scroll past this. The ones who don't will be 10x ahead in 2027.
Here's the truth: success isn't about talent. It's about consistency, clarity, and relentless execution.

Unpopular opinion: AI won't replace you. But someone who uses AI will.
The key is to embrace change, stay curious, and never stop learning. The future belongs to those who adapt.

Wrapped our team offsite today. Biggest takeaway for me: we spend far too much time planning the work and not enough time finishing it. Trying two meeting-free afternoons a week and will report back.
Took the long way home along the river and the whole sky went this color for about ten minutes. Nobody else on the path even looked up, which felt like a secret.

On a work feed, Collapse folds each flagged post to a single line. You keep your place in the feed, and one click brings the text back.
I got rejected from 47 jobs in 2019.
Today I run a team of 60.
Here's what nobody tells you about rejection:
It isn't a stop sign. It's a redirection.
Every no taught me something: → Resilience is a muscle, not a trait. → Your network is your net worth. → Growth lives outside your comfort zone.
The truth is, the most successful people I know didn't avoid failure. They embraced it, learned from it, and kept going.
So if you're facing rejection right now, remember this: your breakthrough might be one application away.

We're hiring a second-shift baker. Four nights a week, 10pm to 6am, and yes, you get to take home whatever doesn't sell. You don't need a résumé. Come by Thursday afternoon and bake something with us. Tell anyone who might like the quiet hours.
Excited to share that our team just wrapped up an incredible quarter. 🎉
This journey has been a true testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to delivering value for our customers.
A few key takeaways: • Alignment across teams is everything • Customer feedback is a gift • Small wins compound over time
I'm incredibly grateful to work alongside such talented, passionate people who show up every day ready to make an impact. Here's to continuing to push boundaries and redefine what's possible in the months ahead.
Last week our warehouse ran its first full inventory count without overtime. It took three tries to get the process right. The first attempt fell apart because nobody owned the spreadsheet. The second time we split the building into zones and gave each shift lead one zone and one scanner. By the third count people were finishing early and asking what else needed doing. Nothing fancy, only clear ownership and fewer handoffs. Sharing in case another ops team is stuck in the same loop.
In Gmail, flagged email stays in your inbox list
In Gmail, Botfilter never removes an email from your inbox list. Even in Hide mode, a flagged message stays in the list, dimmed, with an orange stripe. If the opened message is also flagged, Hide hides its text.

For eleven years, one person has kept the Gull Point crossing on schedule with secondhand parts and a notebook.
Ruth Anand gets to the dock at 4:40 every morning, forty minutes before the first crossing, and starts the ferry's engine by hand when the cold makes the starter sulk. She has done this for eleven years. In that time the boat has missed nine scheduled runs, and she can tell you the reason for each one.
Ferries play a vital role in connecting island communities to the mainland. Beyond their practical function, they serve as a lifeline that fosters economic growth, supports local businesses, and strengthens the social fabric of the region. In many ways, the ferry is more than a mode of transportation; it is a symbol of resilience and community spirit.
The boat itself is older than Anand. It was built in 1971 for a river crossing two states away and bought secondhand by the county in 1998 for less than the price of a new pickup. Parts are the hard part. When the gearbox cracked in 2021, she found a replacement on a salvage yard's website and drove eleven hours to pick it up.
“You don't fix a boat like this. You negotiate with it.”
It's important to note that maintaining aging infrastructure presents unique challenges. From sourcing replacement parts to navigating budget constraints, local governments must balance competing priorities while ensuring safety and reliability. Ultimately, investing in dependable transportation is essential for the long-term well-being of rural communities.
The county has twice proposed replacing the ferry with a larger boat that would need a crew of three. Both times the plan stalled at the dock, which is too shallow at low tide for anything with a deeper hull. Dredging would cost more than the boat. So the old ferry keeps running, and Anand keeps a notebook of every repair on the shelf above the wheel.
As the town looks toward the future, questions remain about how best to preserve this beloved service. Residents hope that a solution can be found that honors the ferry's history while meeting the needs of a growing community.
The model runs on your device
You don't need an account. Botfilter scores text with a 23.6 MB model inside your browser, so the text of the pages you read stays on your device.
It is for skimming feeds, not for judging one document
Botfilter is for people who skim feeds and inboxes and want to know what is likely AI-written. Pick Fewer, Balanced, or More marks. For a verdict on one essay or report, use a checker that publishes its error rates.
We plan to list Botfilter on Firefox Add-ons
We plan to list the Firefox build on Firefox Add-ons and keep publishing the test results for each new model.
Each mark is a probability, not a verdict
Marks can be wrong. Balanced aims to flag about 1 in 100 human posts. The highest rate for one source and length was 1.95%, on short web passages. Human posts on X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Hacker News, and second-language English, are not measured.
