I'm starting to sense a divide in the tech industry:
- People thriving on autonomy who are reinventing how they work and what tools they use with AI: LOTS of work, but they're enjoying it and getting very efficient
- People used to being mentored / trained / or simply told what to do and how. Frustrated with the lack of guidance from management on what to do with AI; also frustrated by seeing some of their peers thriving; increasingly bitter about AI and the state of the industry, as a whole
Neither group seems to be aware that there's another group, or have empathy for the other group

Before AI: “I don’t have enough time to make everything I want.”

Just watched two school kids get run over by a driver that rolled a right turn on red. Notice where the shoe is compared to their bodies.
Shocker the “high visibility” crosswalk didn’t protect them. 😳
75 ft crosswalks and NTORs have no place in school zones.

My two biggest learnings doing startup sales:
1. Every question from a prospect should become a blog post
2. Record every sales call so you can rewatch it later

Contrast with @GovWhitmer's @MDOT_MetroDet project to replace I-375 with a giant, dangerous surface level highway instead of actually "reconnecting" the Black neighborhoods we bulldozed to build it in the first place.

Dangerous to whom?
Don't be that person! Installing speed humps is not only illegal but dangerous. WCRC removed these from a local neighborhood. If you are interested in our Neighborhood Traffic Management Program click the link bit.ly/43Gktio to begin the legal process.

The nastiest and longest raging product debate we have internally is whether to ask for coordinates in lat,lon (y,x) or lon,lat (x,y) in our tasking UI...
Who are you and where do you stand?
21%(Not GIS Savvy) lat,lon
7%(Not GIS Savvy) lon,lat
42%(GIS Savvy) lat,lon
30%(GIS Savvy) lon,lat

OpenStreetMap has an amazingly powerful query language, "Overpass". Sadly it was designed by a madman and is hard to learn. Luckily GPT-4 knows it well: "Give me an overpass query that finds all buildings that straddle the boundary between Glendale and Burbank in California."

After 10 years of MBTiles, @bdon revolutionized tile storage and delivery with PMTiles. Mapbox closed out 2020 by saying goodbye to open source and hello to new business models. Interest in OpenMapTiles and the new MapLibre GL rendering engine fork exploded.
