LinkedIn question. I’m stuck.

If I cross post in LinkedIn and reference my blog post with a link, will my blog be considered the canonical source? This is just an update in LinkedIn, not an article.

Urgh. Sorry, my US friends.
We’re having a Q&A with Mo Farah in our all hands at work. Pretty bonkers listening to his motivation to do what he’s done.
One of these days, ‘radio’ will be the Wordle word and I shall get it in one.

In most places I’ve visited in the UK, Europe and the US, you are guaranteed fairly decent coffee. Good beans are ground, a fancy machine brews it up, and there you go. The opposite is true for tea. Pretty much guaranteed that - at best - it’s a teabag. And a shitty bag of dust at that.

Makes me sad for all us tea drinkers who have to put up with it because, at some point in time, coffee became cool.

I think i’m still suffering from this cold because these elves in Rings of Power are just *so* annoying. So simpering. So entitled. So irritating. That aside, I think I’m going to have to bail on this. It’s just not great, is it?
Very happy to be heading to Leading Design this year again (as an attendee). Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
I think Rings of Power would be great if it wasn’t for the elves.

You know, one of these days I should sit down and write about what design leadership means to me. Because half the time, it’s not like what I read about in the tech playbook.

Maybe there’s a book in it. There’s something to be said about design leadership in a post-bubble world (and this is my third or fourth bubble). Design has had to change each time. And with that comes opportunity.
