We discuss: the trademark moves of Google; open source skullduggery; why Slack has the upper-hand on Teams…or not?; and Coté’s growing love of .docx files. Mood board: I read a lot of Wikipedia when I should be working After all this, time people probably think that whatever you’re doing is “working.” Did you respond with an emoji thumbs-up? I read the email. Thought about it for a few hours. Then thought “I’m just going to archive that email.” He’s big in the Angular community - works all the angels. Little components that talk with each other over the network. Gotta do a whole bunch of shit for that. You don’t sue people who are using it if you want them to use it. Service mesh is Greek for “service mesh.” Lady Cathemhouse’s Rules. Chekhov’s Trademark. Couple thousand stores. …and maybe integrate with their Active Directory. “Federated Slacks.” I think I like the Word file. No one can poop all over your stuff in a way that you forgot what it looked like when it was clean. De-headwind yourself from the COVID. I’m mad about The Edit by Default. I can’t find my tongs, they’ve gone somewhere. I wouldn’t say that I’d recommend it, I’m just saying I enjoy it.

Come with us as we solve life’s greatest mystery: lead-genless webinars. Coté also gives his 10 day in review of Hey email. Also, theories on grilling hamburgers. Mood board: They got money, kicking out the Nazis Have you tried saying it louder? It came out fine. The burger meat here is like a bunch of little worms. Long form commercials. Webinar as conference. Sitting in a Zoom. People don’t want to show up and consensually watch a YouTube video. The Wine Bottle Leads. The Minecraft Yellers.

Extracting configs with awk, Apple announces stuff, and salad dressing. That’s the topics. Mostly. Mood board: One How come Slack doesn’t have a DropBox yet? I got the Call Recorder! Brand Police.

Can email ever be fixed, or is GMail good enough? We discuss. Plus, Coté complains about how he should probably start asking more questions instead of answering them at length. Also, we don’t know what a “digestive” is and do not recommend the Mexican bakery pastries. Mood board: I’m perfectly willing to burn my own time on boondoggles. I introduced my kids to King of the Hill yesterday - they did not like it. Or Beavis and Butthead, or South Park. How many instructions are in the ARM chip? Are we gonna start the show?

We dream of video conferencing in Zoom, ask whatever happened to Big Data, discuss how little agile practices are followed despite their proven success, and contemplate the meaninglessness of Apple moving to ARM. Also, how to prioritize those early morning calls with Singapore. Mood board: Is that guacamole talk Amazon approved?
