[article] 5 Well-Intentioned Behaviors That Can Hurt Your Team. It’s one thing to be intentionally terrible at something, but it’s worse when your seemingly best efforts have a negative impact. Here are things that many of us probably do, and should stop doing. [blog] AI is accelerating my technical writing output, and other observations.
