My 9th grader uses Anki and ChatGPT for vocabulary building. She works through her deck. When she doesn't remember a word, prompts ChatGPT that she will use it in a sentence and it provides feedback if she is using it correctly.
When you do inventory, check for everything that has an expiration. Domains, SSLs, 3rd party software licenses/services...anything that can cause an outage because something wasn't paid or expired.
I've done something similar with a team of 12 and turned it into a 30 min training. The first 15 minutes I screen shared and installed and configured it together. The last 15 was spent verifying and answering any questions. We recorded it (MS Teams) and the link was added to the instructions in the knowledge wiki for folks unable to attend. We set a must be completed by date.
Agreed. What I've done. Make a shorter list of some processes (10?) and create blank pages for each. Do a dump of a month or so of tickets and create pages for things you want o capture. Begin adding detail as you have time. With more involved tasks, team up with someone or make an outline of the processes during an informal knowledge transfer session.
Daugthers 13 and 7. In our house, we try to relate what pops up in our daily lives and just chat about the related technology or math behind it. Example, ordering pizza online. How does the site know it's us? How the page walks us through describing what we want. Payment, making it, delivery. Old arcade games work too. The animation behind pac-man moving or mario running. When they seem interested, go to scratch and do something together and let them do the driving. Make something simple with quick results then talk about ways to improve it. Sometimes they want to add more, others they don't. Mad libs are fun for us. My oldest coded a simple one in python. Lots of laughter that day. Kids can be initially good at so much when they are interested and focus, but I have remind myself just because they put it down for a little while doesn't mean they won't pick it back up someday. A parental gentle push vs a child's free choice is a balance I have to work at.
WFH for the last 10 years. 2020 I went from full time to part time at the same company to better homeschool my two children. No more on call. Lost benefits and we moved onto my wife's plan (not as generous). She went from five days to four. Letting go some of the work responsibilities has reduced the related work stress. "Work" problems seem so much smaller now. Family bonds feel stronger. There is a lot of laughter at home. Our work/life balance improvement has been worth the financial changes but no career or professional growth for 2020. Just maintaining.
Cal Newport's Deep Work and So Good They Can't Ignore You shaped my thinking in determining priorities. Finding the resources/time/mgt buy-in to work on those can be a challenge.
Re: the bank loan scenario. The model was implemented by people. The assumption is everyone considered for a loan has had a fair opportunity to reach the threshold to be approved. That is not the case.
"A national effort to correct historical injustices" is one way but not the only. The people who create these models can refine the model or create others that determine acceptable business risks to provide loans to an under-served market.
I've been having the same questions which led me to so good they can't ignore you. The concept of career capital really resonated with me. For me it's about bringing more value to my current organization and to myself to stay in my current job and role, current job new role, new job or on my own.
