For whoever out there needs to report "five things I got done this week," I offer a tech-bro-speak writeup of the activities of a small child:

  • Resolved an apparent paradox in knot theory, resulting in substantially improved system security (tied my shoes).

  • Isolated the root cause of a blocking problem and removed the barrier, retaining relevant evidence for post-mortem analysis (sneezed and wiped snot on my sleeve).

  • Stress-tested a rapid response system, demonstrating successful mobilization of key individuals with extremely low latency (screamed).

  • Discovered an important resource unavailability and implemented an alternative last-mile delivery protocol in order to meet a time-critical need (peed myself).

  • Completed scheduled downtime in response to substantially degraded system performance and restored operating efficiency to full (took a nap).

  • @iris
    I love the last one! I so believe there are days when taking a nap would improve my performance for the rest of the workday.
    @ldmay65 @iris I call those "emergency naps"
    @iris could also work for +90 ;)

    @iris

    You have met the benchmarks.

    @iris

    You win the internet today! <3

    @iris
    This should have been a poll:

    Is this a valid weekly DOG-e report from:
    a) an employee of the DOG-e of government performance analysis group
    b) a three-year old
    c) a 90 year old

    @iris bound points if you use this as a prompt example for an LLM and use their own BS against them.
    @iris this is the shit elon musk would tweet unironically

    @iris Reminds me of my cats, who tirelessly mine the raw resources in order to provide the market with an abundance of processed goods.

    (i.e. they shred cardboard boxes to pieces, or as we like to joke, they make "cartonite")

    @iris that's worthy of a LinkedIn post....
