Hey new friends! 👋 Great to have you all here. Just a reminder that this is my personal account, if you’re into management & leadership you should try my professional account at @the10xmanager.academy ☺️

Has Unix time ruined 1970 (like, the date) for anyone else? Every time I see it written down I assume it's a parsing error. Context: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

A thing younger people tend to underestimate is how much the culture around institutional sexism and racism has changed in the last few decades. I’m not saying we’ve tipped the balance of power or anything, but the vicious old white guy backlash is a reaction to real progress.

Even though I've made this joke myself I actually really hate the "all developers have to be engineering managers now with agents" No, they all need to be tech leads, not ems. Unless you're having to deal with the agents' interpersonal issues and the PM distracting them and getting them promoted and

Airbnb guests fried fish (!) in the apartment with all windows closed and a/c on. Smell permeates the whole room no matter what I do. What’s with North Americans and their inability to open a fucking window? Is this your first day on earth? Ffs

Εδώ και χρόνια φωνάζουμε από την Κρήτη για τους λαγοκέφαλους, τώρα τους πήρατε χαμπάρι οι πανωμερίτες; Τι φάση;

This is your biannual #food reminder that hummus is not Greek. It's a Levantine dish. There is no Greek hummus. That's like saying there is Bulgarian or French feta. There is not. Only Greek feta is true feta, it's a PDO (protected designation of origin). Everything else is a white cheese.

Productivity doesn't matter if you're working on the wrong thing.

This is your reminder to add a pinch of good quality cinnamon (I used Sri Lankan) to your homemade lattes. Trust me. TRUST ME.

Bullseye.

Δεν υπάρχει χειρότερη γιορτή από τις Απόκριες. Μια σαπίλα όλα, η αισθητική, η μουσική, τα έθιμα, το κέφι με το στανιό, οι νεαροί καρναβαλιστές, οι πολυέστερ στολές, οι αφροί, το φαγητό της Καθαράς Δευτέρας αδιάφορο, ο καιρός σκατά γιατί είναι Φλεβάρης, ΟΛΑ ΜΠΛΙΑΧ

Κόλαφος. Πώς γίνεται να ΑΡΝΕΙΣΑΙ ιατρική περίθαλψη σε κάποιον, γαμώ τον όρκο του Ιπποκράτη και τα μυαλά σας μαζί www.news247.gr/magazine/rep...

I started charging my phone in another room overnight. My reading time has tripled compared to last year's.

He is, in fact, a very good bunny

Ότι καταλάβετε ΤΙ με τις σαχλαμάρες τα ChatGPT memes, γελάσατε; Σας κολάκεψε; Μάθατε κάτι για τον εαυτό σας που δεν ξέρετε; Βρήκατε γκομενάκι; Πλήρωσε το στεγαστικό σας; Έκανε κάπως τη ζωή σας καλύτερη; ΤΙ ΚΑΤΑΛΑΒΑΤΕ νιώθω σαν την τρελή του χωριού να φωνάζω όλη μέρα για το ΑΙ γτχμ

Poached eggs are literally the worst eggs™️. Why do people insist on having them when soft-boiled jammy eggs are RIGHT THERE

Third episode of The Studio had me howling with laughter. I haven’t laughed that hard at a series in quite a while.

Btw this question is one of my favourite litmus tests for both women and (especially) men: if they reply negatively, they're a huge red flag and should be avoided.

If you want more proof that AI makes things objectively worse, look to customer support. AI chatbots are completely ineffective, you just cannot speak to a person on the phone anymore, most sites don't even have a simple email form (a CS staple). I hate this.

I’m not sure what else must transpire before there are full blown demonstrations happening en masse in the US. How can people not react (violently) to this? My Greek mind cannot comprehend.

I travel alone a lot. I like to think of myself as a collected, independent traveller who hates making a fuss. When a British bus driver noticed me covering myself with my jacket and asked me "are you ok there luv?", I almost cried in a National Express bus. Such a tiny, impactful question.

"Ας ξαναδιαβάσω καμιά ιστορία από το Γκιακ για να με πάρει ο ύπνος" Ξύπνια από τις πέντε, σχεδόν το τέλειωσα, σταμάτησα μόνο για δουλειά. Δεν γίνεται να το αφήσεις αυτό το βιβλίο.

I know the sensitive thing would be to advise you against watching the Minessota shooting video, but I won't do that. I would sit everyone on a chair Clockwork Orange style and force them to watch that video to truly see what's going on out there.

I could hear this video before I even unmuted it 🫡

Από επιτυχίες τελευταία, μου βγήκε καλό random τρίτο γράμμα για τον Προσωπικό Αριθμό και είναι πολύ εύκολο να το θυμάμαι 🙃

Why am I sure that Nine Blades from the #BaldursGate3 soundtrack has Greek lyrics? The cadence and intonation of what the choir sings is very similar to Greek, but I couldn't confirm it with a quick search open.spotify.com/track/5o8MYM... Kickass battle theme, btw.

Αν θέλετε να αμφισβητήσετε ό,τι νομίζατε ότι ξέρετε για την κοινωνική πρόοδο, ρωτήστε το ευρύτερο περιβάλλον σας τη γνώμη τους για γυναίκες που κολυμπάνε εν μέσω της περιόδου τους

White Americans are some of the loudest, least self-aware tourists I’ve encountered in greek airports. Big main character energy. Super annoying.

I tried to build a simple workout tracker in Notion and I’m officially too stupid for what it can do now

Do you want to instantly make new friends? Carry a bag of Haribo candies with you. People will flock to you as if you’re the Pied Piper I swear

There is only one possible answer to the question “Will the Humanities Survive Artificial Intelligence?” and that answer is Fuck Off.

I'd pay €250 a month to never have to hear about America again
