Greg’s Right Social Media is not Docs
by
Again Greg is right social media is not documentation. It may be an easy way to pat yourself on the back to say you’ve got documentation, but it’s not documentation. Just like Discord is not documentation and it’s not a very effective customer communication channel. In the case Greg cites, I don’t even think I…

Greg on Manual Practices for Digital Tasks
by
Today’s post revisits Greg’s thoughts from a few days back about Bullet Journals. I have come to terms with the fact that, despite my love of physical things, digital tools suit me better. I started a new Bullet Journal this year and I’m sure at some point I’ll neglect it. I don’t let that get…
EVs Don’t Solve Many Problems
by

Discord Outage Doesn’t Mean Discord Is Bad
by
I’ve seen a number of people jumping on the outage for Discord to say that “see you shouldn’t put important information behind Discord it could go down”. While I agree that you shouldn’t put user communication and documentation in Discord this outage in no way means Discord is bad. Your forum or documentation site could…
