Week 368: Step change
September 21, 2025
- Enjoying the dying breaths of summer 2025.
- I watched a couple of colleagues present a deck I’d worked a lot on this week for a new technology strategy. A week ago we had too many ideas and it was overwhelming but today it’s neat and it says what the thing is. Everybody is very grateful for my late nights but this is the job.
- I can’t believe how bad the search function is on the noun project.
- All of the taps in our house have started dripping. Can this be a water pressure thing? Lachie is watching men on YouTube explain taps. I think he’s enjoying this.
- Lachie who (willingly and enthusiastically) plays schools a lot with our daughter has noted that his teacher has gotten a bit stricter recently, a clue to the step change of year 3.
- One of the local secondary schools has, through a quirk of the admissions process this year, ended up with 45% of year 7s being on free school meals. I wish the parents walking around saying this yeargroup is “unteachable” would HAVE A LITTLE THINK about what they’re really saying when they trot out this line. 😤
