🔖 How to Grow a Three Sisters Garden
A Corn + Beans + Squash garden. The more I think about this, the more I want it. But I'd struggle to find a place for it. I'd never be able to keep it safe from the dogs.

I hadn't been doing my homework for Sydney Technology Leaders and needed to put the meetup.com events together quickly. So I asked ChatGPT to write the text for me, and then because I am me, I asked it "Make it more cynical". Reader, despite my cold dead heart of jade, I was impressed. Not that it produced usable copy, I'm not at all surprised that the plagarism machine trained to trick humans came out as seemingly coherent. No, I was impressed that even I thought it might be a bit much.

Been doing some interviews lately. I have someone else in the room helping who hasn't done many interviews before. Partly because it is interviewing for a role I don't have any practical experience in. I have come to the conclusion that:
a) TAFE should still exist. I mean actually exist, not the shambling corpse the various flavours of neo-liberal governments have allowed to continue to wander the earth. b) It should offer a semester long course, with labs, of how to interview.

Apple like to think they are pretty good, but with their smart assistants they are so far behind.

Get your shit together, Apple.
