My hobby projects are the ultimate MVP I'm shocked at how many features I have that are just stubbed out or don't work the way I think they do despite using these things weekly.
Re-electing your corrupt and dishonest ex-leader shouldn't be a credible answer to a crisis in democracy. Doing it because you fear you might lose your seat is despicable.

Once you've got the basics of these points right the key one for me is point 5. Often your instincts are to act on or reject the feedback. There's often a lot of pressure to demonstrate to the person you're acting.

4. Understand the message by asking clarifying questions
5. Reflect and decide what to do
6. Follow up

I think the rollback on some of these plans is a shame, particularly around Victoria Park and Brick Lane. Unfortunately while I live near these places I'm across the border. Hopefully local pressure will make the borough better for everyone.

Binge reading @s_k_hanselmann 's collected Crisis Zone and I can't decide whether the comic or the real world of the 2020s is more insane. Easily the best thing I've read this year.
