Seven five‑minute pieces cover practical, weird and tactical moves: a push to write for users who are having a really bad day (EHR medics, immediate errors, high‑speed low‑drag brevity); a SharePoint↔GitHub migration that breaks links and leaves contractors firefighting Slack wars; comb jellies’ biology (sea walnut as invasive predator, whole‑body regeneration and a transient anus cycling hourly); a personal AI router and home lab using open‑weight models with 10,000 token context windows; a 25‑hour work week at Knowledge Owl; and volunteer firefighting as manual‑labour insurance.
