The Sunday Summary: Be a voter, lots of WordPress drama, random posts, and doing great things for the first time
In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.
Mon, November 4: Do you know why your side might lose?
“It’s bad to have an opinion you’re proud of if you can’t state the arguments for the other side better than your opponents. This is a great mental discipline.”
Tue, November 5: Be a voter
One study found that when election campaigns talked about “being a voter,” instead of simply asking people to vote, they increased voter turnout by 15%.
Wed, November 6: The WordPress drama shows why WordPress remains the best choice
The WordPress community is a bit of a mess right now, but this drama is showcasing exactly why WordPress is such a solid decision for businesses to use.
Thu, November 7: Random posts
I used ChatGPT to help me write a simple plugin that adds a bit more value to my day by surfacing random blog posts from the past.
Fri, November 8: What are libraries for?
Are libraries meant to be warehouses of books, or a place to share information and learn? There’s a big difference.
Sat, November 9: People who do great things are doing them for the first time
“I’m a firm believer that most people who do great things are doing them for the first time. Returning to my theory of hiring, I’d rather have someone all fired up to do something for the first time than someone who’s done it before and isn’t that excited to do it again. You rarely go wrong giving someone who is high potential the shot.”
I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
