Alright folks, I'm moving back to @andy, should be automated for most but you've been warned.
@spacehost_help @[email protected] thank you, can you also remove this account (@[email protected]) from the admins group? Firefish prevents me from migrating while I'm an admin.
@timbray @simon you can also combine the two strategies and host your domain name off of GitHub. I've been doing this for years now and am quite pleased with it.
@ohmu I'm working on it. Mostly moving out of FireFish, which is nice but doesn't have a functional 1st party android client.

I'm unsure if I'm going to move back to social.seattle.wa.us or back into a nortrup.social as a Mastodon instance.

"When your product manager is overwhelmed, you don’t need to add a product owner. You need to move from a project-based discovery model toward a more continuous discovery model."

Product Ops as the engine not the fuel

I had intended to write a big long post on all the things I learned as a Product Ops leader as Tanium for a year, but it got long and rambly, so I’m going to attempt a series of shorter posts that will hopefully get written. Lesson one, when you are working on process of the product team, you are building engines not fuel. This is a metaphor from my good friend Jack Coates (Part 1 Part 2) that he usually applies to building end user products that need content, and that no one wants to build content and teams want to build engines because they are fun and sexy.

Thing I learned about having a single user instance, I should have setup a separate admin account to be the admin then had a regular user.

This is both good IT and security practice, but also, would have made it easier to move out of the instance.

@spacehost_help I've setup @[email protected] with that email.

A PNW-related weird ag & food fact for Kyle Grove! (If I tag you that may turn the reply into a DM, which, boo).

There's a seagrass, Zostera marina, that's full of sugar (to help handle the osmotic pressure from the salt in seawater). Peoples in the Salish Sea use it as a vegetable! You can eat the rhizomes & leaf-bases raw, steam the rhizomes like a root veggie, dry them into a flour, etc.

Eelgrass is endangered now so we should leave it alone. But good reason to restore seagrass beds!
