My tendency is to write my messages with minimal words. Maximum throughput. Omit needless words. But in practice, most people need the 12 extra words of social padding to know I’m not mad at them. Also, as I learned when teaching, verbally, everybody needs a bit of repetition.

OH NO!
You can help Manton offset this by subscribing to his wonderful Micro.blog blogging/social networking service.
It's what I use for my blog and it's very well done and is all about open standards and built for real people. It doesn't monetize you. You pay a small fee per month and get a great service in return.

But know that if you want to learn, people are willing to show you. You have to bring the will to learn because the temptation to skip learning will be everywhere. But if you're curious when the curmudgeonly old techie who's holding the system together says something surprising, ask them about it. We will tell you.
If you want to learn and you're not employed, I cannot state this enough, _build something_. Start with AI, that's fine, but _get under the hood_. Get your hands dirty. Understand what's going on. Your curiosity is the ONLY thing that will get you that experience now.

Among many things, I’ve learned, for example, that the Dutch once held a lucrative monopoly on nutmeg, one that was broken in the 18th century when a Frenchman named Pierre Poivre smuggled the spice to Mauritius.
Fun facts aside, I’ve really missed this level of intellectual honesty and subtlety in my usual readings, which include far too many social media posts and blog articles

Interesting fact: Ethiopia has a calendar with 13 months of 30 days, and one last one with a duration of 5 days at the end.
One of the months is called Meggabit too.
I'm thinking that developers should level up in UX over their career.
In general, I think everybody should progress in topics adjacent to their functions as time goes on. Learning is fun. Developers have always done that and UX basics are easy to grasp.
