The Archivist Within
Twitter played a significant community role for me when I first started out in my career. When Elon Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, I archived my tweet history and crafted a personal CRM. Today, I found my Twitter archive.
Building Myself a English-to-English Translator in Slack
I'm not sure if it's just me, but this feels increasingly less true as AI threatens to take over the way that we think and communicate. What is one to do? Write an English-to-English translator.
